Long-term Results of Sutureless Phacoemulsification With Implantation of a 7-mm Polymethyl Methacrylate Intraocular Lens

Abstract

an attempt to minimize postoperative astigmatism while retaining the advantages of implanting intraocular lenses with large optics, sutureless phacoemulsification with implantation of a 7-mm polymethyl methacrylate intraocular lens was performed through a modified scleral tunnel in 100 consecutive patients. Visual and keratometric results, as well as

Evaluation of Early Corneal Endothelial Cell Loss in Bimanual Microincision Cataract Surgery (MICS) in Comparison with Standard Phacoemulsification

“…It should be remembered that all types of cataract surgery are connected with a certain loss of corneal endothelial cells, however, with the use of modern equipment and surgical techniques this loss is not high (7). The average endothelial cell loss due to phacoemulsification is different in various studies and on average it ranges from 4% to 18% (5,6,10,(15)(16)(17)(18). Alio et al found that there is no significant difference in endothelial cell loss between MICS technique and coaxial phacoemulsification (6).…”
