Outcomes of cataract surgery in Microophthalmia

Abstract

Objective:To find out outcomes of cataract surgery with Microophthalmia in children less than two yearsMethods:This cross-sectional study was conducted at Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Karachi from January 2016 to August 2017. It included thirty micro ophthalmic eyes of infants with visually significant cataract of age less than two years who had cataract surgery without intraocular lens implantation. Axial length of globe was 19 mm or less in all thirty eyes of seventeen infants. in which thirteen infants had bilateral cataract and four had unilateral cataract.Result:Thirty Simple Micro ophthalmic eyes from seventeen patients having visually significant congenital cataract were studied. Thirteen had bilateral cataract and four had unilateral cataract. Mean preoperative IOP was 9.0±1.2 mmHg and postoperative IOP after three months was 10.9±3.2 mmHg. Three patients had secondary capsular opacification 17.6%. Two patients had posterior synachae 11.8% after three months.Conclusion:The results suggest that cataract surgery in simple microophthalmia is safe procedure. Postoperative complications in this study were within acceptable limits. Long term study with intraocular lens is required to confirm our observation.

Visual outcome of cataract surgery in a tertiary care teaching hospital

“…Cataract surgery in microophthalmic eye has significant results as studied in Al-Ibrahim eye hospital. 13 It is observed that superior limbal incisions induce much more corneal astigmatic change than temporal incisions due to against the rule astigmatism. [13][14][15][16][17] We did not calculate the amount of astigmatism in our study.…”

“…Another study conducted at Singapore National eye centre revealed significance of femtosecond assisted laser cataract surgery, which revealed better visual outcomes at 6 weeks. 10,13 On the contrary, constellation machine was used in all surgeries at our hospital.…”

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Moreover, Ca-FAP as a suitable host for various substituents has attracted more and more researchers on the substitution of Ca-FAP. [15][16][17][18] Strontium (Sr) is one of the most common substituents in fluorapatite.…”
