Extracapsular Cataract Extraction and Posteior Chamber IOL Implantation Using Ocutome-FragmatomeII System and Disposable Two-Way Needle

ABSTRACT

We tried extracapsular cataract extraction and PCL implantation with Ocutome-FragmatomeII System and Disposable Two-Way Needle. 160 eyes were operated with this method, 101 eyes were followed up over 2 months period. Clinical results were not significantly different from previous reports of ECCE and PCL implantaion. Corrected visual acuity 0.5 or better after 2 months of surgery were 95%. No serious intra-operative and post-operative complications were noted. We suggest Ocutome-FragmatomeII System and Disposble Two-Way Needle could be used for ECCE and PCL implantation in case of absence of I and A system.
