ABSTRACT
Avaliou-se o erro refracional em 40 cães submetidos ou não à facectomia por facoemulsificação, por meio de retinoscopia com luz em faixa. Distribuídos em quatro grupos de 10 animais cada, foram designados por cães fácicos, cães afácicos (CA), cães pseudofácicos com implante de duas lentes intra-oculares em piggyback (PP) e cães pseudofácicos com implante de uma lente intra-ocular veterinária de 41D (PL). As avaliações foram realizadas por ceratometria, ecobiometria ultra-sônica e retinoscopia. A média da curvatura corneana foi de 40,46±2,44D. O poder dióptrico obtido por retinoscopia foi de 18,50D no grupo CA, 5,25D no grupo PP e 2,00D no grupo PL. A retinoscopia com luz em faixa constituiu um método eficaz para avaliar a refração ocular em cães, mas foi dificultada quando da presença de opacidade de meios oculares. Todos os animais apresentaram-se hipermétropes, em diferentes graus; o astigmatismo ceratométrico cirurgicamente induzido foi discreto.
The refraction error in dogs submitted or not to phakectmy, by phakoemulsification by streak retinoscopy was evaluated. Forty dogs were distributed in four groups of 10 animals each, and were designated by phakic, aphakic (AD), pseudo-phakic with two piggyback intraocular lenses (PD), and pseudo-phakic with one intraocular 41D veterinary lens implant (LD). The evaluation was performed by keratometry, ultrasonic echobiometry, and retinoscopy. The mean corneal curvature was 40.46±2.44D. The dioptric power obtained by retinoscopy was 18.50D in AD group, 5.25D in PD group, and 2.00D in LD group. The retinoscopy was an efficient method to evaluate ocular refraction in dogs, but was more complex in ocular opacity presence. All animals presented different levels of hypermetropy, and the surgically induced astigmatism was discrete.

Illumination and access of instruments to peripheral fundus are limited by lens in phakic vitrectomy. The purpose of this study was to determine if curved endoilluminator could enhance visibility of peripheral fundus in phakic virectomy. Ten consecutive cases of pars plana vitrectomy were done for vitreous opacity. Indirect laser photocoagluation was done to make four reference points of distance from optic disc to nasal ora serrata. We evaluated the respective extent of nasal peripheral view with the use of curved or straight endoilluminator which was inserted through temporal scleral port. When compared with the straight endoilluminator, the curved endoilluminator enhanced the visualization of peripheral fundus(p<0.05). A curved endoilluminator may be a useful surgical adjunct during the phakic vitrectomy and other advantages and disadvantages of its use are discussed.
