Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and visual outcomes of simultaneous bilateral cataract surgery (SBCS) with intraocular lens implantation performed in outreach surgical eye camps. Methods: The medical records of 47 consecutive patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral small-incision cataract surgery between January 2010 and December 2015 in outreach surgical camps in rural Cameroon were reviewed. The measures included postoperative visual outcomes and intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results: Data from 94 eyes of 47 participants (30 men, 17 women; mean age: 60.93 ± 13.58 years, range: 45-80 years) were included in this study. The presented best visual acuity (VA) was less than 3/60 in 100% of the eyes. At the 4-week follow-up, 84.04% of the eyes showed increased VA of 1 line or more ( P = .001).Of these, 71 (75.53%) achieved good VA (greater than 6/18). Intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred in 19 (20.21%) eyes. The most serious intraoperative complication was a posterior capsule rupture and vitreous loss (2 patients, 2 eyes). The postoperative complications included a transient elevation in the intraocular pressure (6 eyes), chronic corneal oedema (5 eyes), iris capture (3 eyes), lens decentration (2 eyes), and hyphema (1 eye). No cases of postoperative endophthalmitis were recorded. Conclusions: Under the strict observation of endophthalmitis prophylaxis, SBCS is an option to reduce the cataract blindness backlog in rural areas of developing countries.

Cataract is the most common cause of reversible blindness, and its prevalence have been increasing in the community depend on the age. Phacoemulsification and manual Small-Incision Cataract Surgery (mSICS) were the techniques of cataract surgery that was frequently used in high-volume cataract surgery setting. This study aimed to compare the complications between phacoemulsification and mSICS in high-volume cataract surgery. This research was a retrospective cohort study with the data taken from the medical record of high-volume cataract surgery organized by Community Ophthalmology Division, Department of Ophthalmology Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) from January 2018 to November 2018. Cataract surgery was performed by consultant ophthalmologists, general ophthalmologist, and senior ophthalmology resident for phacoemulsification and by senior ophthalmology resident and junior ophthalmology resident for mSICS. Intraoperative and postoperative complications (i.e. posterior capsule rupture, vitreous prolapse, aphakia, iridodialysis, endophthalmitis) until four weeks of follow up were compared in both techniques. There were 483 patients who had been operated, 188 (38.9%) patients underwent phacoemulsification and 295 (61.1%) patients underwent mSICS. Intraoperative and postoperative complications in phacoemulsification and mSICS performed by senior ophthalmology resident were no statistically significant different (p > 0.05). Nevertheles, there was statistically significant different in the complication of posterior capsule rupture and aphakia in phacoemulsification based on the level of surgeon’s skill (p < 0.05). Most of them performed by senior ophthalmology resident in 11 (35.5%) cases and 5 (16.1%) cases respectively. However, complications in mSICS were no significantly different based on the level of surgeon’s skill performed by senior ophthalmology resident and junior ophthalmology resident (p > 0.05). Complications in phacoemulsification and mSICS performed by senior ophthalmology resident with relatively similar in the level of surgeon’s skill were not significantly different. However, the complication of posterior capsule rupture and aphakia in phacoemulsification was significantly different based on the level of surgeon’s skill.

Seckel syndrome is an extremely rare inherited disorder characterised by severe growth retardation in utero, which continues later in life, resulting in short stature. Seckel syndrome presents as microcephaly, mental retardation, and a beak-like nose. This report describes a patient with Seckel syndrome who had bilateral cataract and underwent uneventful small incision cataract surgery in both eyes. The association of cataract with Seckel syndrome has not been described in the literature to the best of the authors’ knowledge.

Background: The growing middle-class population of Ghana has seen more people being employed in visually demanding occupations  and hence there is an increased desire for quality post-cataract surgical visual outcomes. This study aimed at comparing the outcomes of manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) and phacoemulsification (PHACO) among Ghanaians. Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study in which records of patients who underwent MSCIS or phacoemulsification by the same surgeon were reviewed. Results: Medical records of 248 eyes were reviewed, out of which 132 underwent PHACO and 116 had MSICS. A significant number of the  PHACO group had good (6/6–6/18) uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) compared to the MSICS group at 1–2 weeks follow-up (p = 0.003) and 4–6 weeks follow-up (p = 0.002). MSICS resulted in a higher total astigmatic change compared to PHACO (p < 0.001). The PHACO grouphad a higher number of postoperative complications compared with the MSICS group (p <0.001). Postoperative borderline and poor  uncorrected visual acuity were associated with age, total astigmatic change, and postoperative complications. Conclusion: The postoperative UCVA outcomes at 4–6 weeks’ follow-up indicates that PHACO resulted in noticeably less spectacle dependency when compared to MSICS.

Purpose. To evaluate intraoperative complications and utilization of adjunctive devices between microscope and intracameral illuminations during cataract surgery in the elderly over 75 years. Design. A retrospective, consecutive, interventional case series Participants. Two hundred eighty-six eyes of 184 patients older than 75 years who underwent cataract surgery using microscope and intracameral illuminations. Methods. A chart review was performed on an advanced cataract surgery group of 141 consecutive cases in which the intracameral illumination was used and on a standard cataract surgery group of 145 consecutive cases in which the intracameral illumination was not used. Main Outcome Measures. Intraoperative complications (posterior capsule rupture, radial tear of the anterior capsule, dropped nucleus, or sulcus-implanted/sclera-fixated IOL) and utilization of adjunctive devices (pupil expansion device or anterior capsule staining). Results. The frequency of use of the pupil expansion device was lower in the advanced cataract surgery group than that in the standard cataract surgery group (0.7% vs 6.9%; p=0.007). Furthermore, the rates of a posterior capsule rupture and at least one intraoperative complication were lower in the advanced cataract surgery group than those in the standard cataract surgery group (0.7% vs 4.8%; p=0.067) (0.7% vs 7.6%; p=0.004). Conclusions. In the current cohort of patients over 75 years, the rate of intraoperative complications was lower when using the intracameral illumination than that when using the conventional method. Cataract surgery using intracameral illumination would be good option for elderly people.

Introduction: The small-incision cataract surgery is gaining popularity among the ophthalmic surgeons. Objective: To compare the visual outcome of conventional extra-capsular cataract extraction (ECCE) and small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) in a hospital based community cataract program. Materials and methods: A prospective interventional study without randomization was carried out including the patients undergoing cataract surgery by either conventional ECCE or manual SICS. They were followed up for 6 weeks postoperatively. The visual outcomes were compared between the two groups. Statistics: The statistical program Epi-Info version 2000 was used to analyze the data. Mean values with standard deviations, 95% CI and p value were calculated. The p value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Of 85 patients, 44 (M: F=10:34) underwent ECCE and 41 (M: F=15:26) SICS (RR= 0.71, 95% CI=0.42-1.2, p value=0.16). Unaided visual acuity on the 1st postoperative day in the ECCE group was e"6/ 18 in 22.7%,<6/18-6/60 in 63.6 %,< 6/60 in 13.7%, whereas in the SICS group, the same was e"6/18 in 70.7%,<6/18-6/60 in 22 %,< 6/60 in 7.3% (95% CI = 0.23 - 0.48, p=0.001). Best corrected visual acuity on the 6th week follow-up in the ECCE group was e"6/18 in 79.5%,<6/18-6/60 in 18.2 %,< 6/60 in 2.3% and in the SICS group the same was 6/18 in 90.5% and <6/18-6/60 in 4.9% (95% CI=0.44 - 0.73; p=0.0012). Conclusion: Both ECCE and SICS are good procedures for hospital based community cataract surgery but within the 6 weeks postoperative period SICS gives better visual outcome. Remarkably higher number of female patients can be provided service in a hospital based community cataract programme as compared to males.

Background/aimsThe aim of this study was to develop a risk model for intraoperative complication (IC) during cataract surgery, defined as posterior capsule rupture and/or zonular dehiscence, and to include previous intravitreal therapy (pIVT) in the model.MethodsThis retrospective register-based study covered patients reported to the Swedish National Cataract Register (SNCR) between 1 January 2010 and 30 June 2018. Odds ratios (ORs) were used to quantify association strength of each variable with IC. Data from the SNCR were cross referenced with the Swedish Macula Register to include data on pIVT. Variables statistically significant in the univariate analyses (p<0.05) were included in a multivariate logistic regression model.ResultsThe inclusion criteria were met by 907 499 eyes. The overall rate of IC was 0.86%. Variables significantly associated with IC were best corrected visual acuity ≥1.0 LogMAR (OR (adjusted): 1.75, p<0.001), age ≥90 years (OR: 1.25, p<0.001), male sex (OR: 1.09, p<0.01), pseudoexfoliation (OR: 1.33, p<0.001), glaucoma (OR: 1.11, p<0.05), diabetic retinopathy (OR: 1.35, p<0.001), pIVT (OR: 1.45, p<0.05), surgeon’s experience <600 surgeries (OR: 2.77, p<0.001), use of rhexis hooks (OR: 6.14, p<0.001), blue staining (OR: 1.87, p<0.001) and mechanical pupil dilation (OR: 1.52, p<0.001).ConclusionThe risk model can be used in the preoperative setting to predict the probability of IC, to facilitate planning of surgery and improving patient communication. Patients who have undergone intravitreal therapy prior to cataract surgery have an increased risk of IC during cataract surgery.

Background. Phacoemulsification is the most important cataract surgical procedure performed by ophthalmology residents. There is an increasing and consistent trend in international studies on decreased complication rates and more efficient surgical techniques with more surgeries performed. The data collected from this study can be used to quantitatively assess the cataract surgery training of Ophthalmology residents in the country and can help to improve the quality of cataract surgeries taught and performed in the training programs. Objectives. To analyze outcomes of phacoemulsification cataract surgeries and to determine the intraoperative complication rates of third-year residents of the University of the Philippines - Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH). Methods. Retrospective chart review of phacoemulsification cases done by eight third-year ophthalmology residents at the UP-PGH from January 1 to December 31, 2017. Outcomes measured included postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraoperative complications (posterior capsular rent and vitreous loss), and adjusted phacoemulsification times (total phacoemulsification time multiplied by phacoemulsification power used). Results. Four hundred ninety-two (492) cases were analyzed. Postoperative mean BCVA was 20/25. There were no significant differences in visual acuity outcomes over the course of training. Intraoperative complications occurred in 33 cases, with fewer cases with posterior capsule rent and vitreous loss later in training after the first 50 cases. There was a downward trend of adjusted phacoemulsification time throughout training, with a significant difference between the first 50 and 100 cases. Conclusion. Good visual outcomes are achievable throughout the resident’s phacoemulsification learning curve. Surgical competency in phacoemulsification, as measured by complication rates and phacoemulsification efficiency, still improves significantly with an increasing number of cases and experience beyond the first 100 cases.
