PURPOSE To report a case series of 4 patients with Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) after undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery incisions. METHODS Case report. RESULTS DMD was noted at the secondary incision (n = 2) or at the main incision (n = 2). All the secondary incision and 1 main incision DMD were resolved with intraoperative maneuvers. Delay in recognizing DMD intr...

INTRODUCTION Manual small-incision cataract surgery with trabeculectomy is now an acceptable option in the surgical management of combined cataract and glaucoma uncontrolled with maximum tolerated medical therapy. OBJECTIVE To compare the results and complications of combined manual small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) and posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation with trabecu...

Nocardia is a rare cause of delayed onset postoperative endophthalmitis after cataract surgery and it usually carries a guarded visual prognosis. Purpose. To highlight the clinical presentation, microbiological profile, and treatment outcome in a case of nocardial endophthalmitis after manual small incision cataract surgery. Methods. This case report highlights the typical features of Nocardia ...

Introduction: Manual small-incision cataract surgery with trabeculectomy is now an acceptable option in the surgical management of combined cataract and glaucoma uncontrolled with maximum tolerated medical therapy. Objective: To compare the results and complications of combined manual small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) and posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation with trabecu...

BACKGROUND Ptosis incidence following cataract surgery is reduced with a recently developed phacoemulsification technique using a small incision. However, it remains uncertain whether an upper transconjunctival sclerocorneal incision can cause minor blepharoptosis. In the present prospective study, patients underwent cataract surgery with either an upper or temporal 2.4-mm transconjunctival scl...

PURPOSE To present the advantages of performing femtosecond laser-assisted (Alcon-LenSx Inc.) cataract surgery. METHODS Cataract surgery was performed with the LenSx femtosecond laser (Alcon-LenSx Inc.) in 50 eyes of 50 patients. The laser was programmed to perform a 4,9-4,5 mm capsulorhexis, a 2,3 mm main corneal incision, two 1,3 mm side-port incisions and either a hybrid-pattern or a cylin...

Purpose. To compare the surgically induced astigmatism from clear corneal and square posterior limbal incisions at the time of cataract surgery. Methods. Surgically induced astigmatism was calculated for a set of eyes after cataract surgery using a temporal 2.2 mm square posterior limbal incision. Results were compared to similar available data from surgeons using clear corneal incisions of sim...

BACKGROUND North-eastern region of India continue to suffer from limited resources, added upon by Mongoloid racial similarity and poor cataract surgery rate has contributed to the increase incidence of advanced cataract like phacomorphic glaucoma. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the visual prognosis and related complications of phacomorphic glaucoma cases by manual small incision cataract surgeries in ...

PURPOSE To report the incidence, clinical settings, and visual acuity outcomes of acute-onset endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. DESIGN Retrospective, observational case series. METHODS Annual cataract surgery statistics were determined by review of electronic surgical records. The clinical and microbiologic records were reviewed of all patients with clinically diagnosed endophthalmiti...

Aim: To evaluate the time course of blood-aqueous barrier (BAB) disturbance in the early period after small-incision cataract surgery. Material and Methods: A prospective study in which 20 eyes of 20 patients with senile cataract had small-incision cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. Care was taken to minimize trauma to the uvea during surgery. Postoperat...
