Use of the phaco tip technique for lens cleavage and removal during cataract surgery.

ABSTRACT: Use of the phaco tip technique for lens cleavage and removal does not require manual hydrodissection using a syringe and cannula, or cortical removal using an irrigation/aspiration tip. The phaco tip is the only surgical instrument required for this technique. Its advantages include maintaining a stable intraocular pressure during cortical cleaving hydrodissection and lens removal, which includes the cortex.

A novel minimal fluid technique for effective and safe lens hydrodissection during cataract surgery.

Project description:Traditional hydrodissection may cause posterior capsule rupture (PCR) if excessive fluid accumulates. In this study, we describe the successful application of a novel minimal fluid hydrodissection technique in 100 consecutive cataract surgery cases. This technique separates the nucleus from the capsule utilizing low hydrostatic pressure and precise kinetic movement of a small volume (around 0.2 cc) of balanced salt solution. There were no instances of PCR. This technique is suitable for a range of cases, including femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and posterior subcapsular cataract.

Intraocular lens-sling technique: A safe approach for lens implantation in complicated cataract surgery and secondary intraocular lens implantation.

Project description:Among 20 million cataract surgeries being performed worldwide every year, approximately 5% are being complicated by posterior capsule rent or zonular dialysis. Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in such cases with intraoperative complications is quite challenging. Our next course of action is to place the IOL in the ciliary sulcus, however, there is a risk of IOL drop into the vitreous in cases of inadequate support. We have described a novel idea of using a suture material through the dialling hole of a three-piece rigid IOL which can be used as a leash to reduce the risk of IOL drop during implantation in such cases. This technique could also be used during sutureless scleral fixated IOL and retro-pupillary iris claw lens implantation. We found that in 90 consecutive patients where this technique was used, there was no incidence of IOL drop or retinal detachment.

The safety and efficacy of phaco-sleeve irrigation-assisted hydrodissection during femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Project description:Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) changes the intraoperative environment due to the generation of intracapsular gas that induces a high intracapsular volume. Manual hydrodissection (mH) may induce high intracapsular pressure (ICP) and additional intracapsular volume, thereby leading to capsular block syndrome (CBS). Since the phaco-sleeve irrigation-assisted hydrodissection (iH) technique is used to initially groove and split the lens and remove the intracapsular gas, this can reduce the intracapsular volume while bypassing the intracapsular lens prior to the hydrodissection. As iH uses the phaco tip to intentionally vacuum the intraocular fluid for use in inducing the irrigation jet from the sleeve side holes, the ICP cannot surpass the set irrigation pressure, thereby avoiding CBS. Using this technique, we performed FLACS without CBS in 310 cataract eyes. Our findings suggest that the iH technique may be beneficial for patients by preventing CBS during FLACS.

Lens decompression technique for prevention of intraoperative complications during phacoemulsification of intumescent cataract.

Project description:To evaluate intraoperative complications during phacoemulsification of intumescent cataract using lens decompression technique.Participants with intumescent cataract scheduled for phacoemulsification were recruited and divided into two groups. In both groups, after the anterior capsule was stained with trypan blue, the anterior chamber was filled peripherally with a dispersive ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) followed centrally by a higher viscosity cohesive OVD (Healon GV). In Group 2, a 25-gauge needle was then inserted into the lens center and liquid cortex aspirated by pulling back on the syringe plunger. The outcomes measured were the incidence of capsular radial tears and the incidence of conversion to extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE).In Group 1 (20 eyes), capsular radial tears occurred in four eyes, and in two eyes, the procedure had to be converted to ECCE. In Group 2 (20 eyes), no capsular radial tears or conversion to ECCE was reported.Lens decompression technique reduced the risk of capsular radial tears and conversion to ECCE during phacoemulsification of intumescent cataract.

'Phaco-ECP': combined endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation and cataract surgery to augment medical control of glaucoma.

Project description:ObjectivesDoes phaco-ECP reduce intraocular pressure? Is phaco-ECP safe?DesignRetrospective case note review of all patients undergoing phaco-ECP between June 2008 and June 2009. All glaucoma subtypes were included.SettingSingle District General Hospital Ophthalmology Department within the UK.Participants58 participants case notes reviewed. Mean age 79.0 years (SD ±9.8).InterventionsAll patients received combined cataract surgery and endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation.Outcome measuresFollow-up was 1 day, 1 week, 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months for intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement. Number of medications, visual acuity and presence of complications were also assessed.ResultsOf the 58 cases performed, 56 case notes (97%) were available for analysis. Mean age 79.0 years (SD ±9.8). Mean pre-procedural IOP was 21.54 mm?Hg (95% CI 19.86 to 23.22, n=56). Mean IOP was 14.43 mm?Hg (95% CI 13.65 to 15.21, n=53) at 18 months and 14.44 mm?Hg (95% CI 13.63 to 15.25, n=41) at 24 months. The mean drop from baseline to 18 and 24 months was 7.1 mm?Hg. Statistically significant decrease in IOP was demonstrated at all time points (p<0.001). Mean medication usage was 1.97 agents (95% CI 1.69 to 2.25) at baseline, 1.96 agents (95% CI 1.70 to 2.22) at 18 months and 2.07 agents (95% CI 1.76 to 2.38) at 24 months. No statistically significant change throughout.ConclusionsThis study confirms the safety of phaco-ECP. In this case series, the IOP-lowering effect was significant at all time points; however, the effect of cataract surgery alone was not controlled. A randomised controlled trial is required to draw efficacy conclusions. The authors proposed endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation's main role is to optimise control of low-risk glaucoma of low-risk patients at the time of cataract surgery. However, the authors do not propose that phaco-ECP is a substitute for filtration surgery in high-risk eyes or when low target pressures (<14 mm?Hg) are indicated.

Incidence of Intraocular Lens Exchange after Cataract Surgery.

Project description:Intraocular lens (IOL) exchange after cataract surgery is unusual but may be associated with suboptimal visual outcome. The incidence of IOL exchange has not been consistently estimated. Such information is invaluable when counseling patients prior to cataract surgery. We examined the incidence of, and indications and risk factors for, IOL exchange after cataract surgery. We also assessed visual outcome of eyes that had an IOL exchange. A cohort design was used to estimate the incidence of IOL exchange and a case-control design to identify factors associated with it. All phacoemulsification surgeries with IOL (n = 17415 eyes) during 2010-2017 and those that had a subsequent IOL removal or replacement during the same time period were identified (n = 34 eyes). The incidence of IOL exchange was 2 per 1000 surgeries (95% confidence interval [CI] 1 to 3) over 8 years. Eyes that underwent subsequent IOL removal or replacement were compared with eyes that had cataract surgery only (n = 47) across demographic and clinical characteristics. In a binary logistic regression analysis, two factors were significantly associated with IOL exchange/removal: an adverse event during cataract surgery (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 19.45; 95% CI 4.89-77.30, P < 0.001) and a pre-existing ocular comorbidity (aOR 10.70; 95% CI 1.69-67.63, P = 0.021). The effect of gender was marginally significant (P = 0.077). Eyes that underwent IOL exchange or explantation were nearly two and a half times more likely to have a final best-corrected visual acuity of <20/60 compared to those that had cataract surgery alone (adjusted RR 2.60 95% CI, 1.13-6.02; P = 0.025).

Banded technique for pediatric traumatic cataract surgery.

Project description:We describe a technique for pediatric traumatic cataract management in cases in which part of the anterior capsule has been ruptured. The technique requires creating a 2-incision push-pull capsulorhexis in the intact anterior capsule. The capsulorhexis is made in a manner that converts the edge of the ruptured anterior capsule into a band of capsule that holds the intraocular lens (IOL) in the bag, reducing the incidence of early, intermediate, or late postoperative lens-iris capture. It also reduces the chances of IOL displacement.

Clinical Evaluation of a Novel Preloaded Intraocular Lens Delivery System During Routine Cataract Surgery.

Project description:Purpose:To evaluate the clinical handleability and acceptability of a novel preloaded intraocular lens (IOL) delivery system for implantation of the TECNIS ZCB00 IOL (Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision, Inc., Santa Ana, CA, USA) during routine small-incision cataract surgery. Subjects and Methods:In this prospective, open-label, noncomparative, unilateral or bilateral, multicenter study, adult subjects with unilateral or bilateral cataracts scheduled for IOL implantation were enrolled. Surgeons and surgical technicians completed per-eye day-of-surgery and end-of-surgical-day questionnaires. The primary endpoint of the study was the rate of acceptable overall clinical performance of the preloaded IOL delivery system. Other endpoints included additional responses from the questionnaires, preimplantation incision size, and safety. Results:The study included 91 eyes that underwent cataract surgery and IOL implantation using the preloaded delivery system and were available for the 1-day postoperative visit. Five surgeons and 14 surgical technicians from four investigational sites participated in the study. The rate of acceptable overall clinical performance was 100% (91/91) of eyes, with most responses (78/91; 85.7%) being the highest possible rating of 5 (very satisfied). Favorable responses by most surgeons and surgical technicians regarding additional endpoints further highlighted the handleability and acceptability of the preloaded delivery system. No ocular adverse events or lens findings (ie, no cases of IOL instability, haptic breakage, IOL marking, or crimping) were reported. Conclusion:The results of this study demonstrated that this preloaded IOL delivery system was safe and effective during routine small-incision cataract surgery. Trial Registration:German Clinical Trials Register identifier, DRKS00014757.

"Crack, Reduce, and Implant": A Safe Phaco Technique in a Case with Hard Brown Cataract.

Project description:This report describes two maneuvers in different steps of phaco surgery in a case with hard cataract, which provide debulking of the central dense nucleus and prevents posterior capsule rupture (PCR). In the current case, clear corneal incisions were created, and anterior chamber was filled with ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD). Anterior capsule was punctured, and capsulorhexis was completed. Nucleus was cracked into two halves following vertical groove formation. Core nucleus was hollowed sideward bilaterally in the capsular bag. Nuclear halves were removed from capsular bag, and each one was pushed to one side on the iris plane. Capsular bag was inflated with OVD, and intraocular lens (IOL) was implanted. Nuclear halves were removed in confidence. The presented maneuvers initially reduce dense nucleus load in the safe zone and allow surgeon to use IOL as a barrier to protect floppy posterior capsule from early steps of the surgery.
