Standardized Mean Difference

Background. Ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVDs) used during small-incision cataract surgery have numerous advantages. However, OVDs have longer retention time in an eye after surgery resulting in intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes. The purpose of this study is to analyze and quantify the effect of various OVDs on both IOP and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) by systematically reviewing the literature and performing meta-analysis. Methods. Numerous databases from January 1, 1985, to present were systematically searched. Thirty-six (3893 subjects) of 3313 studies identified were included for analysis. Standardized mean difference (SMD) was computed, and meta-analysis was performed. Results. A total of 3313 records were retrieved including 1114 from database search and 2199 from grey literature search. Significant increase in postoperative IOP in 1-day follow-up with Healon (SMD = 0.37, CI: [0.07, 0.67]), Viscoat (SMD = 0.29, CI: [0.13, 0.45]), Provisc (SMD = 0.46, CI: [0.17, 0.76]), and Soft Shell (SMD = 0.58, CI: [0.30, 0.86]) was computed. On the other hand, results implied a nonsignificant increase in postoperative IOP with Healon GV (SMD = 0.07, CI: [−0.28, 0.41]), Healon5 (SMD = 0.15, CI: [−0.33, 0.64]), 2% HPMC (SMD = 0.32, CI: [−0.0, 0.64]), and OcuCoat (SMD = 0.26, CI: [−0.37, 0.9]). Additionally, a nonsignificant reduction in postoperative IOP was inferred with Viscoat + Provisc (SMD = −0.28, CI: [−2.23, 1.68]). Conclusion. Improvement in IOP was shown with Viscoat + Provisc. Additionally, IOP nonsignificant upsurge was observed with Healon GV, Healon5, 2% HPMC, and OcuCoat compared to significant upsurge with Healon, Viscoat, and Soft Shell.

Purpose. To assess safety and efficacy of temporal manual small incision cataract surgery (SICS) in context to visual outcome, astigmatism, and complications. Methods. This involved sclerocorneal tunnel, capsulotomy and hydrodissection. The incision was made with number 11 disposable surgical blade (costing Indian Rs. 2.50, $0.05). Nucleus extraction was done by phaco-sandwich method with the help of vectis and dialer. Posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation was done according to biometric findings. A record of intraoperative and postoperative complications was made. The final postoperative assessment of astigmatism was done with spectacle correction on the 45th day as per the refraction findings. Results. Two thousand eyes were operated by temporal, manual small incision sutureless technique. Uncorrected visual acuity was ≥6/18 in 1636 (81.7%) patients on the first postoperative day, in 1652 (82.6%) patients at 2 weeks, and in 1732 (88.6%) patients at 6 weeks. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥6/18 was achieved in 1868 (93.4%) patients at 6 weeks, with 46 (2.3%) having BCVA <6/60, 24 (1.2%) of whom had preexisting retinal pathology. At 6 weeks, 1876 (93.8%) eyes had with-the-rule and 134 (6.2%) against-the-rule astigmatism (mean 0.7±1.25 D). Iris prolapse was noted in 3 (0.15%), wound leak in 3 (0.15%), and transient corneal edema in 136 (6.8%) eyes. Average surgery time was 6 minutes. Conclusions. Temporal SICS with number 11 disposable surgical blade and nucleus delivery by phaco-sandwich method gave excellent outcome with minimal astigmatism and low complication rate at economic cost.
