ABSTRACT
· AlM: To investigate clinical therapeutic effect and safety of small incision extracapsular cataract extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation in blindness prevention and treatment. · METHODS: Clinical data of 425 patients with cataract (425 eyes) were analyzed retrospectively, who received small incision extracapsular cataract extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation in the No.413 Hospital of Chinese PLA, with the help from “handicapped rehabilitation engineering in Dinghai District of Zhoushan City” from September 2013 to August 2014.Visual acuity before and after operation, average corneal curvature, corneal astigmatism and intraoperative and postoperative complications were compared statistically and analyzed emphatically. ·RESULTS: ln all of the 425 patients with cataract (425 eyes) , the preoperative best corrected visual acuity of 99 patients were less than 0.05, and the other 326 patients were 0.05 to 0.3.Classification of lens nucleus hardness:level Ⅲ, 63 cases; level Ⅳ, 257 cases; and level Ⅴ, 105 cases.The preoperative average corneal curvature and corneal astigmatism of all patients were 44.6 ±1.52D and 1.35±0.96D.All the 425 patients underwent small incision extracapsular cataract extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation.Postoperative follow-up of 3mo results: the best corrected visual acuity: 5 cases were less than 0.05 (blindness-free rate 98.8%);8 cases were 0.05 to · CONCLUSlON: lt is effective and safe to apply small incisionextracapsular cataract extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation in blindness prevention and treatment, and it gives excellent visual rehabilitation to cataract patients.Especially in those areas and hospitals having no condition of phacoemulsification, it’s a safe and effective alternative when carrying out the program of blindness prevention and treatment.
ABSTRACT
Abstract?AlM:To analyze the blindness causes of 1854 cases in our hospital hospitalized patients, and explore the strategy and direction of blindness prevention according to the different treatment efficacy.?METHODS: Cluster sampling was used to select from September 2010 to August 2013 in our hospital department of ophthalmology patients 5 473 cases, in which total of 1 854 cases of blind patients, accounting for 33. 88% of hospitalized patients. According to the WHO's criteria of blindness. The BCVA enacted <0. 05 or vision radius less than 10 degrees are for the blind, and the exclusion of less than 3 years old children don't cope with visual inspection of the inclusion criteria for age and cause of blindness blind patients were analyzed. To the blind to patient age and etiology were analyzed, the main cause of blindness and statistics of all ages, records of the blind patients after treatment eye sight;and calculating the blindness of the literacy rate, on the blindness through analysis of the causes of the risk treatment.?RESULTS:ln 1 854 cases of blind patients, including 728 people right-eye blinding, 767 people left-eyes blinding, 359 people total blinding, adding up to 2 213 eyes, aged from 60~80 years old were in the majority. The top three diseases resulting blindness were cataract, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. ln 2 213 blind eyes, the eyes treated were 2 172, of which 1 762 eyes ( 81. 12%) were succeeded, 410 eyes ( 18. 88%) failed. ln the failed cases, the first three diseases were diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and retinal detachment.?CONCLUSlON: ln recent years, disease etiology of blinding eye has changed, but cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma are still high incidence of blindness due, so the treatment of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and retinal detachment should be the emphasis for blindness prevention and treatment in the future.
