ABSTRACT

To investigate the characteristics of scale cataract operations and the effects and experiences of small incision extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens ( lOL) implantation in large - scale vision recovery action. ●METHODS: Four thousand eight hundred ninety - two cases ( 4892 eyes ) of cataract were treated by small incision non-phacoemulcification cataract extraction from March 2010 to November 2011 in our hospital ( Fuming No. 1 surgery car of Shaanxi Province ) which were retrospectively analyzed. Visual acuity, intraoperative and postoperative complications, the recovery of postoperative inflammation were observed. ●RESULTS: Visual acuity reached 0. 3 or more in 4521 eyes (92. 42%) at 1d after the operation, at 3d after the operation in 4571 eyes (93. 44%), there were 4887 eyes with lOL implantation, implantation rate was 99. 90%. All the cases had lesser intraoperative and postoperative complications, and the postoperative inflammation recovered quickly. ●CONCLUSlON: Small incision extracapsular cataract extraction with lOL implantation is simple, effective, economical, safe and adapting for large - scale vision recovery action.
