Thirty two cases of endophthalmitis following extracapsular cataract surgery that had occurred within our department and had undergone intraocular diagnostic tap between May 1982 and May 1991 were reviewed. An infectious agent was identified in 20 cases (62.5%). The commonest organism was Staphylococcus epidermidis (11 cases) (55%). Proteus was the only gram negative organism identified (four cases) (20%). Both of these organisms were associated with a favourable visual outcome. In the culture positive subgroup 15 eyes (75%) achieved a final acuity of 6/60 or better with 10 eyes (50%) gaining 6/12 or better. Thirteen (65%) of the culture positive cases were managed without vitreal intervention. Of these 11 (85%) achieved 6/60 or better with eight (62%) gaining 6/12 or better. It appears that when an endophthalmitis follows uncomplicated extracapsular cataract surgery delivery of antibiotic by the conventional routes (topical, subconjunctival and systemic) is consistent with a favourable visual ...

Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery also known as manual phaco or MSICS or SICS. This is the most cost effective cataract cataract extraction method with consistent very good visual outcome.We are demonstrating a real small incision 5.5 mm in this video. (You have seen a lot of SICS video at youtube but there incision size more than 8 mm). All types of cataracts (hard cataract,posterior polar cataract, mature cataract, hypermature cataract) can be operated by this method. Because we are breaking nucleus in the tunnel and taking out in the pieces. The breaking of the nucleus is done in the tunnel,so cornea is spared form the injury. Most of the cases having bright clear cornea and 20/30 or better vision on the first post operative day

This MasterClass examines the changing role of manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS). Experts will demonstrate very clearly the surgical steps and dynamics of modern MSICS, sharing personal experiences putting theory into practice, discussing the management of complications, and sharing pearls for challenging cases..

TY - JOUR. T1 - Impaired corneal wound healing associated with ketorolac 0.5% after uncomplicated extracapsular cataract extraction. AU - Arey, Mark L.. AU - Sullivan, Brian R.. AU - Reinert, Carol G.. AU - McCulley, James P. PY - 2007/12/1. Y1 - 2007/12/1. N2 - PURPOSE: To describe an apparent association between the use of ketorolac 0.5% (Acular; Allergan) for cystoid macular edema (CME) prophylaxis and impaired corneal wound healing in patients undergoing extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS: A retrospective case series reviewing 7 eyes of 7 patients who underwent uncomplicated ECCE with IOL implantation and were treated postoperatively with ketorolac 0.5% 4 times daily as a prophylactic measure against CME. RESULTS: Patients were treated with ketorolac 0.5% 4 times a day for an average of 30 days (range, 20-44 days) after uncomplicated ECCE with IOL implantation. Two eyes developed postoperative endophthalmitis necessitating vitreous tap ...

Cataract surgery has undergone significant changes beginning with the abandonment of intracapsular surgery, and continuing with the advent of intraocular lenses, and continuing variations in extracapsular lens removal. Extracapsular cataract surgery employing a 10mm incision at the limbus and requiring wound closure with sutures is considered a fall back technique that is easier to perform…

First eye cataract surgery significantly reduced patient falls, although major changes in the dioptric power of spectacle correction of the operated eye after surgery increased fall risk, reported Anna Palagyi, PhD, and fellow researchers. Their prospective cohort study included patients who had bilateral cataract, were aged 65 and older, and were on public hospital cataract surgery waiting lists in Australia. Of the 329 patients who were recruited, 66.6% had first eye surgery in the study period. The first eye cataract surgery reduced incident falls by 33%; poorer dominant eye visual acuity was associated with falls during the study timeline. Those who had a larger than ±0.75 spherical equivalent diopter change had a two-fold greater incidence of falls after first eye cataract surgery compared with those with less or no change in lens power. The researchers recommended cautious postop refractive management to maximize the benefit of cataract surgery as a fall prevention measure. The research ...

The demand for cataract surgery is set to increase due to the ageing population of Australia. Cataracts are usually bilateral, but cataract surgery is almost always performed one eye at a time. Previous investigations of the impact of cataract surgery seldom analysed the separate effects of each surgery. Instead, patients who underwent first, second or both eye surgeries were combined in the analyses. In Western Australia, public hospital patients wait substantial periods of time between first and second eye cataract surgeries. For these patients, understanding the separate effects of first eye surgery on driving difficulty, vision-related quality of life and depressive symptoms is of considerable importance for their safety and well-being.This before and after study aimed to gain a better understanding of the impact of first eye cataract surgery on self-reported driving difficulty, vision-related quality of life and depressive symptoms for older drivers. It also aimed to investigate how changes ...

Only one previous study has systematically investigated the visual experience of patients during cataract surgery.12This study assessed the visual experience of 56 patients during extracapsular cataract surgery under regional anaesthesia (peribulbar and retrobulbar blocks). Visual awareness was absent or limited to only light perception for four patients. The remaining patients observed colours (80%), movements (68%), flashes (66%), abstract colour images (55%), and objects (20%). During the course of surgery, patients also observed a change in light brightness (64%) and colours (20%).. Limited aspects of the visual experience during extracapsular cataract surgery under regional anaesthesia have also been reported in two other studies. In one study, surgical instruments were observed by 73% of patients during surgery under retrobulbar anaesthesia.13In another study, no patients observed surgical instruments during surgery under peribulbar anaesthesia but 20% of patients perceived abstract visual ...

Despite recommendations for greater use of second-eye cataract surgery and the bilateral progression of the disease, there is a substantial proportion of unmet need for this treatment. Few studies have explored the factors associated with second-eye cataract surgery utilisation. The objective of our study was to estimate the proportion of second-eye cataract surgery, evaluate its time-trend, and explore differences in utilisation by patients gender, age, and region of residence. All senile cataract surgeries performed between 1999 and 2002 in the public health system of Catalonia (Spain) were obtained from the Minimum Data Set. The proportion of second-eye surgery from November 2000 to December 2002 was calculated. The time-trend of this proportion was characterised through linear regression models with the logarithmic transformation of time. The proportion of second-eye surgery was 30.0% and showed an increasing trend from 24.8% (95% Confidence Interval [CI] 21.6; 26.1) in November 2000 to 31.8% (95%

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the inflammatory status of the aqueous humor in the fellow eye after uneventful cataract surgery in the first eye. Methods: At the screening stage, aqueous humor samples from 15 first-eye and 15 second-eye cataract patients were collected just before cataract surgery and assayed using human cytokine antibody array. Screened cytokines were then verified using a suspension array system with aqueous humor samples obtained from 35 first-eye and 36 second-eye cataract patients. Results: The cytokine antibody array revealed that interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (Il-1ra) and macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1a and MIP-1b were expressed at high levels in first-eye patients and were lower in second-eye patients, whereas opposite trends were found for monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) and for regulated on activation, normal T expressed and secreted (RANTES) (all, P , 0.05, Students t-test). However, only MCP-1 and IL-1ra were significantly ...

Purpose: : To compare the effect of cataract surgery on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with and without glaucoma. Methods: : This retrospective study included 179 glaucomatous eyes and 210 non-glaucomatous eyes, all of which had uncomplicated cataract surgery with posterior chamber lens implant between September 2006 and March 2008. No more than one eye was used per patient. Patients with ocular surgery or laser trabeculoplasty within one year prior to or one year after cataract surgery were excluded from the study. Postoperative IOP control in patients with glaucoma was compared to patients without glaucoma. IOP and number of glaucoma medications were recorded at 1 week, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Paired and unpaired t-tests as well as chi square were used to analyze the data. Results: : Both groups were comparable in race and gender. The glaucoma group was significantly older at 72.3 years +/- 10.4 compared with the non-glaucoma group at 69.0 +/- 10.8 years (P=.002). Mean ...

Purpose: To determine the impact of cataract surgery on visual functions (VFs) and quality of life (QoL) in patients with cataract at the National Eye Center, Kaduna. Methods: VFs and QoL questionnaires were administered to the patients preoperatively and 6 weeks postoperatively. Correlation was assessed among subjective VF, QoL, and visual acuity (VA). The preoperative and sixth-week postoperative VA, VF scores, and QoL scores were compared. A paired t-test was used for comparison between before and after surgery. Results: Two hundred and seventy-one patients were studied. The age range of the patients was 45 to 85 years with a mean age of 64.2 years (SD ± 6.51). There was significant improvement in overall VF and QoL following cataract surgery (P,0.0001). Mean VF scores preoperatively and at 6 weeks postoperatively were 28.6 (SD ± 7.9) and 15.1 (SD ± 3.5), respectively. The overall mean QoL scores were 23.7 (SD ± 9.0.) preoperatively and 13.5 (SD ± 1.1) postoperatively. This difference ...

Background: Cataract is the principal cause of curable blindness in India. The most recent estimates from World Health Organization reveal that 47.8% of global blindness is due to cataract and in South Asia region, which includes India, 51% of blindness is due to cataract. Aims: Our study was to assess the post-operative visual outcome after small incision cataract surgery (SICS) in camp patients during the study period from October 2011 to June 2012. Materials and Methods: Cataract surgeries were carried out in patients (with no known systemic illnesses), after screening at community based screening camps. All senile cataracts were included and complicated cataracts were excluded from the study. Patients underwent manual SICS with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. Post-operatively patients received oral antibiotic for 5 days and antibiotic-steroid eye drops for 6 weeks. Patients were followed-up at regular intervals. Spectacle correction was given at the end of 6 weeks. Results: ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - The effects of intracameral carbachol on post-operative intraocular pressure rises after cataract extraction in the dog. AU - Stuhr, C. M.. AU - Miller, P. E.. AU - Murphy, Christopher J. AU - Schoster, J. V.. PY - 1997. Y1 - 1997. N2 - Purpose. We previously have demonstrated ciliary cleft collapse as a component of the acute post-operative rise in IOP in dogs following phacoemulsification lens extraction (Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 1994, 35:419). The purpose of this study was to determine if intracameral carbachol at the conclusion of cataract extraction would blunt the elevation in IOP in the early post-operative period. Methods. A randomized, placebo-controlled, masked trial was performed using thirty-one dogs which were assigned into four groups: 1) posterior chamber IOL placement with 0.5 ml of BSS, 2) PC IOL with 0.5 ml of 0.01% carbachol, 3) aphakic with 0.5 ml BSS, and 4) aphakic with 0.5 ml of 0.01% carbachol. IOP was measured by applanation tonometry and intraocular ...

Introduction Globally, cataract is the most frequent cause of blindness, affecting more than 20 million people (1). Most of these people live in rural areas of developing countries, where there are limited ophthalmologically trained personnel or services.. There are two ways to remove the cataractous lens. It can be extracted in its entirety (intracapsular cataract extraction, ICCE) or the lens contents can be removed leaving the posterior lens capsule in place (extracapsular cataract extraction, ECCE). ICCE is a quicker and simpler technique, but is associated with more complications related to disturbance of the vitreous face. It is still commonly performed in rural Africa and Asia, whereas ECCE is the preferred technique in industrialized countries. The disadvantage of ECCE is that, in a proportion of cases, the lens capsule becomes opaque, requiring further intervention in order to maintain good vision.. It is generally agreed that inserting an intraocular lens into the eye during surgery is ...

Two-thirds of patients had penetrating injury. Although cataract surgery is consid-ered cost effective (Cugati et al.

A concise review and comprehensive guide to improving cataract surgery outcomes. Significant advances have been made in refractive surgery in the last decade. Eye surgeons today can leverage many cutting-edge intraocular lens (IOL) technologies such as multifocal, extended depth of field, toric, accommodating, and aspheric. Concurrent innovations including optics, phacoemulsification, superior keratometry and biometry, and posterior cornea evaluation have resulted in improved cataract surgery outcomes. Recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cataracts have dramatically improved patient satisfaction following cataract surgery, yet common and rare complications still occur such as dry eye, endophthalmitis, and retinal detachment. Furthermore, only 80% of cataract surgery procedures bring patients to within 0.5 diopters of their needed refraction..

Progress in the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) biometry, new IOL designs, and the concomitant rise in patients refractive expectations has brought emphasis to the optics of intraocular lenses. This chapter focuses on the optical considerations relevant to IOLs. For information on the history and development of IOLs, and more surgical information with respect to IOLs, see BCSC Section 11, Lens and Cataract.. In the 1970s, surgeons implanting IOLs included those who used intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE) and those who used small-incision phacoemulsification (phaco). The IOL optic was made from polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), with supporting haptics of metal, polypropylene, or PMMA. The rigidity of these materials required that a small phaco incision be enlarged for IOL insertion. However, following the introduction of a foldable optic (made from silicone) in the late 1980s, enlargement was no longer required, and the combination of phaco and IOL implantation was widely adopted.. The ...

Cataract surgery is an elective procedure. Careful patient selection is imperative in order to achieve a successful result. Dogs that exhibit pre-existent keratitis, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, uveitis, glaucoma, and retinal degeneration are usually poor surgical candidates.. Pre-operative diagnostic examinations should include a complete hemogram, biochemical profile, sterile urinalysis, electroretinography (ERG), and ocular ultrasound. The ERG will rule-out the presence of retinal degeneration and progressive retinal atrophy. An ocular ultrasound can detect focal to diffuse retinal detachments and vitreal opacifications.. There exist three general techniques for cataract extraction: extracapsular lens extraction (ECLE), intracapsular lens extraction (ICLE), and phacofragmentation (also called phacoemulsification or phaco for short). Phacofragmentation is the preferred technique for cataract removal by veterinary ophthalmologists today. Intracapsular lens extractions are reserved for ...

Patients undergoing cataract surgery often have questions about the procedure and what will happen afterwards. Below are a few commonly asked question about what to expect. Will I be awake during the procedure?. Most cataract surgeries are performed under topical anesthesia (eye drops). Many patients will also be given a sedative and/or anti-anxiety medicine during the procedure. Occasionally, a patient will receive a novocaine-like medication injected under the eye to relax the eye muscles and numb the nerves for pain. General anesthesia is uncommon, but can be used if you feel you would be uncomfortable during the procedure, have a difficult time remaining still, or have intense anxiety.. Whats happens right after my cataract surgery?. Most people go home the same day. Because you may feel a little groggy from anesthesia or have blurry vision in the early stages, youll need to have an escort take you home. Its also important to get your prescriptions filled (NYEE has its own pharmacy on ...

Amar Agarwal is the pioneer of Phakonit which is Phako with a Needle Incision Technology. This technique became popularized as Bimanual phaco, Microincision cataract surgery (MICS) or Microphaco. He is the first to remove cataracts through a 0.7 mm tip with the technique called Microphakonit. He has also discovered No anesthesia cataract surgery and FAVIT a new technique to remove dropped nuclei. The air pump which was a simple idea of using an aquarium fish pump to increase the fluid into the eye in bimanual phaco and co-axial phaco has helped prevent surge. This built the basis of various techniques of forced infusion for small incision cataract surgery. He has also discovered a new refractive error called Aberropia. He has also been the first to do a combined surgery of microphakonit (700 micron cataract surgery) with a 25 gauge vitrectomy in the same patient thus having the smallest incisions possible for cataract and vitrectomy. He is also the first surgeon to implant a new mirror ...

Patients having cataract surgery at The Eye Clinic of Texas dont have to be concerned with undue restrictions on leaving Houston and flying and air travel after their cataract operation. Having cataract surgery doesnt need t present a major barrier to air travel of flying, stated Bernard Milstein, M.D. My cataract patients-especially as they seem to be getting younger-are continuing very active lifestyles. Often they need to get on an airplane or take advantage of air travel arrangements after cataract surgery and dont want to be hindered.. Most cataract surgeons require their patients to be examined the first day after cataract surgery and again at about 5-8 days after a cataract operation. This is the period of time where rare, but potentially serious, complications would likely be detected, if they were to occur. Beyond this period of time it is more a matter of making sure that you have access to continued follow up care at your cataract surgeons direction. If you are contemplating a ...

HORV after uneventful cataract surgery is a dreaded complication. There is an ongoing debate concerning the association of intracameral vancomycin and HORV. Nicholson et al. reported severe bilateral ischemic retinal vasculitis after uncomplicated cataract surgery in two patients. The authors associated the vasculopathy with the use of intracameral vancomycin at the close of the cataract procedure [9]. Witkin et al. discussed the findings of 36 eyes that experienced severe HORV and found that this exceedingly rare condition could represent a delayed immune reaction to intracameral vancomycin [10]. Balducci et al. presented a case where HORV developed only on the eye where vancomycin prophylaxis had been used at the end of the procedure, while the second eye of the same patient that underwent cataract surgery without vancomycin prophylaxis remained unaffected [11]. Most reported cases present poor results.. The case presented herein showed some differences from other similar reports. First, our ...

Secondary glaucoma and uveitis were more often in the case vitrectomy made in the second act and this procedure solve them. Cystoid macular oedema has been noted in one case ...

Cataracts in its early development can cause blurred vision, nearsightedness or color blindness. If it goes without treatment and the cataract advances to covering up the lens of the eye, the person can go blind and cannot recover his or her vision unless subjected to cataract surgery. Generally, cataract surgeries are done on outpatient basis, meaning, the person with a cataract can get operated by an eye surgeon and in just few minutes cataract extraction is completed. The patient can rest for a couple of hours in the doctors office and can go home after.. There are things that must be done in order for the operated eye to heal faster and heal successfully. Medicated eye drops, taking antibiotics and regular check-up with the doctor would be necessary. On the other hand, there are people who are asking how soon women can wear eye makeup after cataract surgery. Well the answer to this depends on the condition of the eye after surgery. Generally, the eye needs to be covered with sterile gauze ...

There are some multifocal IOLs that is capable of correcting near vision problems that is commonly caused by presbyopia which in turn can also reduce your need to wear glasses as well. In general, these premium IOLs will let your cataract surgeon recommend you for a laser cataract surgery so that you will achieve the best possible visual outcomes.

What Is Refractive Eye Surgery?. By Gray Rollins. Refractive eye surgery is a type of eye surgery that is used to rectify refractive errors of the eye and decrease dependency on corrective lenses such as eyeglasses and contact lenses. Successful refractive procedures can reduce myopia or nearsightedness, hyperopia or farsightedness, and astigmatism or elongated corneas. A number of different procedures exist for refractive eye surgery depending upon the type and severity of the refractive error. There are four main types of refractive eye surgery procedures: flap and photoablation procedures; corneal incision procedures; thermal procedures; and implants. Currently, the most common refractive eye surgeries involve the use of lasers to reshape the cornea. Flap procedures involve cutting a small flap in the cornea so that the tissue underneath can be reshaped to correct the refractive error. LASIK, short for Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis, is the most popular refractive surgery and is used ...

A device that sends out ultrasound vibrations is inserted into the eye and breaks the lens into small pieces. The fragments are then removed by suction through the small cut in the eye.. After the cataract is removed, the surgeon replaces it with a new, man-made lens called an intraocular lens. This procedure is called intraocular lens implantation.. The IOL is clear plastic, acrylic, or silicone with an optical power chosen by the surgeon to help restore normal vision, often minimizing the dependence on eyeglasses after surgery. This lens is permanent and doesnt need any special care.. The IOL ...
