  • The femtosecond laser offers the ability to place corneal astigmatic incisions for which we can charge. (medscape.com)
  • However, chronic postoperative uveitis following phacoemulsification with retained lens material is still a well-known complication of cataract surgery and is the result of the same pathophysiology as the classically described entity of phacoanaphylaxis. (medscape.com)
  • The results were amazing: postoperative visual acuity was as good as with phacoemulsification, but at less than 25% of the cost. (cehjournal.org)
  • The larger limbal incision, often 160°-180°, is associated with the following risks: delayed healing, delayed visual rehabilitation, significant against-the-rule astigmatism, iris incarceration, postoperative wound leaks, and vitreous incarceration. (medscape.com)

  • The term describes a very short ultrasound phacoemulsification with a compact linear groove aiming toward the posterior pole of the lens. (crstoday.com)
  • The surgeon makes a small incision in the outer layer of the eye and uses ultrasound to break up the lens, which is then flushed out using fine instruments and special fluids. (medicalnewstoday.com)
