ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of coaxial micro-incision phacoemulsification for intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) during cataract surgery.Methods A prospective randomized control study was conducted in 80 patients (80 eyes) taking tamsulosin more than two weeks with age-related cataract from October 2014 to October 2016.All cases were randomly divided into microincision group (MICS group) and standard incision group (SICS group),40 cases in each group.Coaxial 1.8 mm microincision cataract surgery was performed in the MICS group,and coaxial 2.6 mm standard incision cataract surgery was performed in the SICS group.The incidence and the degree of IFIS and complications were recorded during the operation.The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was compared at 1 day,1 week,1 month after surgery.Results At postoperative 1 day,1 week and 1 month,UCVA was 0.83 ± 0.12,0.86 ±0.10,0.89 ±0.11 in the MICS group,and was 0.71-±0.12,0.75 ±0.11,0.83 ±0.12 in the SICS group,there were statistical differences (all P ＜ 0.05),the UCVA of MICS group was better than that of SICS group.The incidence of IFIS was 60.0％ in the MICS group,and 82.5％ in the SICS group,there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).There was statistical difference on degree of IFIS between two groups (P ＜ 0.05),the degree of IFIS in the MICS group was lower than that in the SICS group.Conclusion The coaxial microincision phacoemuisification is a safe and effective surgery for the patients with cataract and high risk of IFIS.
