ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the surgically induced astigmatism (SIA)caused by coaxial phacoemuisification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with different clear corneal incision.Methods Clinical data of 97 patients 97 eyes underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation with 2.2 mm (2.2 mm group,44 eyes) or 2.8mm (2.8 mm group,53 eyes) clear corneal incisions were retrospectively reviewed.The corneal curvature were measured before and four weeks after the surgery.Then SIA were calculated,followed by analysis of the differences in mean SIA and centroid SIA between the 2.2 mm and 2.8 mm groups.Results At 4 weeks after surgery,the centroid and mean SIA of the 2.8 mm group was (0.234 ± 0.423) D@105° and (0.552 ±0.349) D,respectively;the corresponding data was (0.174 ± 0.464) D@104° and (0.582 ±0.392) D in the right eyes,and (0.272 ±0.382)D@106° and (0.545 ±0.300) D in the left eyes,respectively.At 4 weeks after surgery,the centroid and mean SIA of the 2.2 mm group was (0.108 ±0.417)D@98°and (0.506 ±0.362) D,respectively;the corresponding data was (0.145 ±0.404)D@81° and (0.5182 ±0.332)D in the right eyes,and (0.127 ± 0.418) D@120° and (0.516 ± 0.418) D in the left eyes,respectively.There was no significant difference in centroid SIA and mean SIA,centroid SIA and mean SIA of the right and left eyes,as well as both eyes between the two groups (all P＞0.05);Atotal of 47 patients (48.5％) had SIA greater than 0.5 D,and 28 patients (52.8％) were in the 2.8 mm groups,including 12 patients (22.6％) in the right eyes and 16 patients (20.5％) in the left eyes;as well as 19 patients (43.2％) in the 2.2 mm group,including 10 patients (22.7％) in the right eyes and 9 patients (20.5％) in the left eyes.There was no significant difference in the proportion of SIA greater than 0.5 D and the proportion of SIA between the left and right eyes greater than 0.5 D between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The mean SIA and centroid SIA are not statistically different in the 2.2 mm group than in the 2.8 mm group,but SIA were more stable in the 2.2 mm group than in the 2.8 mm group.The axis of the SIA were closely related to the position of the incisions,which were the vertical direction of the incisions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Centurion Vision System for subhixated cataract surgery.Methods Clinical data of 15 eyes with lens subluxation treated with Centurion Vision System were retrospectively reviewed.Ocular variables including visual acuity,intraocular pressure,corneal endothelial cell counts (CEC),central foveal retinal thickness (CFRT),intraocular lens (IOL) position,as well as intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed.Results The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.6 or better in 10 eyes (66.7％) 3 months after surgery,while the BCVA of the other 5 eyes was between 0.2 and 0.6 mainly due to pre-existing macular degeneration caused by high myopia or trauma.CEC and CFRT values demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the preoperative and all postoperative follow-ups (all P ＜ 0.05).Three months after surgery,no serious surgeryrelated complications,such as retinal detachment,IOL dislocation,suprachoroidal hemorrhage,macular edema,were observed.Conclusion Centurion Vision System can facilitate phacoemulsification in eyes with subluxated lenses,and this technique is safe and effective due to providing excellent outcomes and avoiding vitreoretinal complications.
