Posterior capsular rupture, a tear in the posterior membrane of the natural lens capsule, is the most common complication during cataract surgery, with its rate ranging from 0.5% to 5.2%. [2] In most cases the situation can be salvaged, though it may be necessary to modify the original plans for the placement, refractive strength, and type of ...
Cataract surgery could improve visual outcomes for people with AMD, though there have been concerns about surgery increasing the progression of AMD. A randomized controlled trial found that people who underwent immediate cataract surgery (within two weeks) had improved visual acuity and better quality of life outcomes than those who underwent ...
Cataract surgery using intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE) has been superseded by phacoemulsification and MSICS over time and is now rarely performed.[2] ECCE has largely become a contingency procedure to deal with complications during surgery - This is all a bit confusing. The first paragraph makes it seem there are two major surgical ...
[1] [2] The syndrome is named in honor of S. Rodman Irvine [3] [4] and J. Donald M. Gass. [ 5 ] The incidence is more common in older types of cataract surgery, where postcataract CME could occur in 20–60% of patients, [ 6 ] but with modern cataract surgery, incidence of Irvine–Gass syndrome has reduced significantly.
Manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) is an evolution of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE); the lens is removed from the eye through a self-sealing scleral tunnel wound. A well-constructed scleral tunnel is held closed by internal pressure, is watertight, and does not require suturing.
Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) is a complication that may occur during cataract extraction in certain patients. This syndrome is characterized by a flaccid iris which billows in response to ordinary intraocular fluid currents, a propensity for this floppy iris to prolapse towards the area of cataract extraction during surgery, and progressive intraoperative pupil constriction ...
