ABSTRACT

Abstract? AlM To observe the clinical effect of posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis ( PCCC ) in phacoemulsification with posterior capsular rupture.?METHODS: Thrity-eight age-related cataract patients (38 eyes) from March 2013 to October 2013 were selected as experimental group and 50 age - related cataract patients ( 50 eyes ) from March 2013 to October 2013 as control group. ln experimental group, PCCC were used in the intraoperative posterior capsule tears in phacoemulsification. And in control group phacoemulsification was applied. The visual acuity and surgical complications were compared between two groups, the follow-up period was continued to 3mo after operation.?RESULTS: The visual acuity and corneal edema in two groups had statistically significant ( P 0. 05 ). At 1d after operation, the intraocular pressure in two groups was not statistically significant (P>0. 05). Three months after operation, the pupil and cystoid macular edema, retinal detachment in two groups was not statistically significant (P>0. 05).?CONCLUSlONPCCC can improve the therapeutic effect and prevent surgical complications for phacoemulsification with posterior capsular rupture.
