Background: Phacoemulsification is a state of the art surgery for cata­ract removal. From the simple procedure of couching practiced by sushruta to latest method of phaco emulsification of Charles kelman, cataract surgery had undergone a tremendous metamorphosis. Phacoemulsification is one of the most successful surgical procedures performed, and its popularity is due to decreased operating time and a shorter postoperative healing period. The objective of the study was to evaluate intraoperative and postoperative complications of phacoemulsification with PCIOL implantation surgery. Materials & Methods: The present prospective study was conducted over a period of 6 months on patients having visually significant cataract that presented to or were referred to ophthalmology Department, GMCH, Jammu and after getting admission underwent planned extracapsular cataract extraction by phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens ( PCIOL) implantation. After meeting inclusion & exclusion crieteria all the patients underwent complete examination as history, ocular examination, systemic examination and laboratory tests like haemoglobin etc. Results: Out of 200, maximum numbers of patients were in age group of 41-50 i.e. 90 followed by 82 patients in 51-60yrs age group. Males were 112.Total of 148 patients were from urban area. Best corrected preoperative visual acuity of ≤6/36 was seen in 102 patients whereas 6th week postoperatively only 7 patients had visual acuity of ≤6/36. The final 6th week postoperative best corrected visual acuity of 6/12- 6/6 was found in 171 patients. Among intraoperative complications hyphaema & constriction of pupil each were seen in 2 patients, followed by posterior capsule rent in 3 patients only while postoperatively mild uveitis was seen in 30 followed by striate keratopathy in 12 patients. Conclusion: From present study, we may conclude that phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation is a good surgical tecqinique for cataract which can be performed safely with good visual outcome, with few intraoperative and postoperative complications in expert hands.

Aim. This paper aims at evaluating refractive outcome and complication profile of sutureless, glueless, flapless, intrascleral fixation of intraocular lens (SFIOL) in pediatric population. Methods. This retrospective study included patients ≤18 years of age who underwent SFIOL for ectopia lentis. Details obtained included preoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), cycloplegic refraction, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA); intraoperative complications; and postoperative UCVA, cycloplegic refraction, and BCVA and complications. Results. Median pre- and postoperative UCVA was logMAR 1.78 (Snellen 20/1200) and logMAR 0.30 (Snellen 20/40), respectively, (p<0.001). Median pre- and postoperative BCVA was logMAR 0.24 (Snellen 20/34) and logMAR 0.18 (Snellen 20/30), respectively. UCVA ≥20/60 was attained in 90% of eyes. BCVA ≥20/30 was attained in 85.0% of eyes. Most common early postoperative complications were hyphaema (10%), transient vitreous hemorrhage (2.5%), and ocular hypotony (2.5%). None of these developed any long-term sequelae. Only one case of subluxation of IOL was seen. No case of late endophthalmitis or retinal detachment was seen. Conclusion. Since refractive error induced is minimal, the procedure is suitable for IOL implantation in children, who are noncompliant with spectacles. The complication profile is similar to that reported in adults.

To study "small incision cataract surgery (SICS)" for the rehabilitation of cataract visually impaired and blind patients, a retrospective study of 100 cases of cataract patients with small incision cataract surgery (SICS) with posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation were done at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital. All cases were selected having corrected visual acuity less than 6/60 who were admitted at the Department of Ophthalmology for cataract surgery from March, 2006 to February, 2008. Age group of the patient range from 40 to 85 years. Age related senile cataract were selected any complicated cataract was excluded from the study. All these patients underwent SICS with 5.5 mm optic polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) non-foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) were implanted by irrigation vectis. Intra operative complication were present in 8% cases among them 3 cases (3%) required to conversion to Conventional Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE). 2 cases (2%) had small posterior capsular rent (PCR), 1 case (1%) irido dialysis & 2 cases (2%) hyphaema occurred. Postoperative complications were found in 38 cases (38%) among them transient corneal oedema occurred in 18 cases (18%) iritis occurred in 13 cases (13%), decentering of intraocular lens (IOL) occurred in 2 cases, corrected visual acuity after 6 weeks of operation were 6/12 or better in 97 cases (97% cases achieved functional vision). Induced astigmatism ± 0.50 D to ± 1.00 D occurred in 94 cases (94%) and ± 1.500 to 2.50D in 6 cases (6%). So, SICS may be the choice of surgery in respect of visual outcome with the limited facilities and surgeons. DOI: 10.3329/taj.v22i1.5037 TAJ 2009; 22(1): 132-135

Objective: To report a rare case of intraocular lens (ACIOL) opacification in the anterior chamber in an adolescent and to discuss the possible mechanism of its occurrence and the ways of its prevention. Case: A 16-year-old male underwent cataract surgery for developmental cataract with placement of a foldable posterior chamber IOL in the anterior chamber. There was subsequent opacification of the IOL, which was replaced by a scleral fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens. The post-operative visual acuity improved to 6/18. Conclusion: The posterior chamber IOL implanted in the anterior chamber can get opacified possibly due to postoperative intraocular inflammation.

Background: An effective method for cataract surgery should be identified to combat cataract blindness. Aim: To study the surgical outcome of conventional extracapsular cataract extraction versus manual small-incision cataract surgery. Materials and methods: A randomized clinical trial was carried out including one hundred eyes (88 patients) which were divided into two groups using systematic randomization: groups of conventional extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens (ECCE with PCIOL) implantation and manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS). The postoperative parameters/variables studied were the unaided and best-corrected visual acuity and astigmatism. Statistics: Epi info 2000 version statistical software was used for data analysis and calculation of relative risk, 95% CI and p value. The p value of less than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: In the immediate postoperative period, unaided visual acuity of =/> 6/18 was achieved in 24 subjects in MSICS group versus 7 in ECCE with PCIOL group (RR=2.05, 95% CI=1.44 - 2.94, p = 0.0002), whereas the same at 6 - 8 weeks postoperatively was found in 28 and 22 subjects in those groups respectively (RR=1.27, 95% CI=0.86-1.89, p=0.23). The astigmatism of =/> 2 at 6 - 8 weeks was found in 35 and 17 subjects from the conventional and MSICS groups respectively ( R=2.28, 95% CI = 1.39-3.73, p=0.0002). Conclusion: Both MSICS and conventional ECCE with PCIOL are safe and effective techniques for treatment of cataract patients. A more rapid recovery of good vision can be achieved with MSICS than with conventional ECCE with PCIOL in the immediate postoperative period.
