“…In the past, most surgeons considered ECCE or ICCE to be the preferred treatment because phacomorphic glaucoma occurred in patients with mature or hypermature cataract, 18,19 was usually accompanied by pseudoexfoliation syndrome and zonular dialysis, 18,19 and hampered visibility of the operative field because of corneal edema and intraocular inflammation. However, cataract extraction is associated with an increased risk for complications, such as repeated iris prolapse, anterior chamber collapse, vitreous loss, corneal endothelial injury, and postoperative fibrin formation in the anterior chamber.…”

Primary angle closure glaucoma: Extracapsular cataract extraction or filtering procedure?

An extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with posterior-chamber-IOL was performed in 21 eyes of 20 patients with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG; 2 suspects, 5 acute PACG, 14 chronic PACG). The ECCE was performed to improve the IOP. In 14 cases the ECCE was done in lieu of a filtering procedure. After the ECCE the anterior chamber deepened. The mean IOP was reduced from 31 mmHg preoperative to 16 mmHg postoperative. Only 5 eyes needed additional medication after the ECCE. The IOP was reduced even if extensive peripheral anterior synechiae were diagnosed or after failed filtering procedures. The only temporary complication was the IOP-peak in the immediate postoperative period. It is concluded that an ECCE with PC-IOL should be seriously considered as the procedure of choice in PACG instead of a filtering procedure (or instead of a combined procedure).

“…How do the visual success rates of cataract extraction procedures compare with other developing countries? Normal post-operative vision has been reported with the ECCE plus IOL procedure in 77% of cases in Nepal (Ruit et al 1991), 66 to 72% of cases in rural India (Civerchia et al 1993;Limburg et al 1996), 61% of cases in Ghana (Egbert & Buchanan, 1991) and in 42% of cases in Sierra Leone (Cook, 1996). The 91% normal vision post-operative success rate for this procedure in the private hospital in Hyderabad compares favourably with the 91% normal vision success rate reported in the USA (Stark et al 1983).…”

“…Does this division into government and private service provision influence visual success rates? While numerous reports have described the visual success outcomes in rural eye camp settings (Civerchia et al 1993;Murthy et al 1996), little information is available from the private eye clinics. It is the purpose of this study to survey a privately funded urban eye clinic in India and determine its visual success outcomes.…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: To determine the visual success outcomes following treatment in an urban private eye hospital in India. Methods: A retrospective survey was done of 4122 consecutive files of fee-paying patients admitted to a private eye hospital in Hyderabad during a 3-month period in 1996. Data obtained a minimum of 4 months after completion of treatment included age, sex, diagnosis and distance visual acuity in the best eye. Results: After completion of treatment 86.5% of patients had normal vision, 10.9% had low vision and 2.5% were blind. Of the people with low vision or blindness after treatment, 81.7% had a best corrected visual acuity of between 6/18 and 6/60. The 4 most common causes of low vision after treatment were unoperated cataract (20.4%), glaucoma (13.3%), diabetic retinopathy (12.4%) and retinitis pigmentosa (10.2%). Conclusion: The visual success rates in an urban Indian private eye hospital appear high with nearly 90% of patients achieving normal vision after the completion of treatment.
