Small Incision

Background: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is an important ocular manifestation of a systemic disease, found to be common in cataract patients as well as in 50% of glaucoma patients. Present study was intended to assess the profile of Pseudoexfoliation syndrome and evaluate the surgical outcome of Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery in Pseudoexfoliative eyes. Material and Methods: Present study was prospective, observational, hospital-based study, conducted in patients with age more than 50 years, with Pseudoexfoliation, admitted for cataract surgery, posted for Manual Small incision cataract surgery(MSICS). All patients underwent a manual small incision cataract surgery, and visual outcomes of the procedures were recorded on the first postoperative day. Results: In present study, maximum numbers of patients were from the age group of 70-79 years (62.5%) and 56 (70%) patients were males and 24 (30%) were females. In this study of 80 patients with Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome, 60 patients had Bilateral Pseudoexfoliation i.e. 120 eyes (85.71%) while 20 patients had Unilateral Pseudoexfoliation i.e. 20 eyes (14.29%). In majority of the eyes 111 (79.29%) had involvement of lens with Pseudoexfoliation while 109 (77.86%) had pupillary involvement. Mean Anterior Chamber Depth in Pseudoexfoliative eyes was 2.50±0.22 mm. Majority of the eyes i.e. 74 (52.9%) were having IOP between 16 – 20 mm Hg. 61 eyes (43.6%) had IOP between 11 – 15 mm Hg. 80 eyes of 80 patients underwent MSICS, 17 (21.25%) patients developed Intraoperative Complications. Conclusion: There is significant association between Pseudoexfoliation syndrome and age, male preponderance and bilateral involvement of eyes. MSICS provides significant improvement in visual outcome in patients with Pseudoexfoliation syndrome with cataract.

Background: Dilemma of cost effectiveness of manual small incision cataract surgeries (MSICS) in the terms of training and equipment has been widely pondered upon in developing areas. Objective of the study is to compare the manual small incision cataract surgery and extra capsular cataract extraction.Methods: A prospective study was conducted among the IPD patients of the Ophthalmology Department of Khaja Bandanawaz Teaching and General Hospital, Kalaburagi, from June to December 2017. Statistical Analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel 2013, SPSS 23.0 and Chi-square test was performed.Results: Out of the 160 individuals who underwent extra capsular cataract extraction (ECCE), 06 (3.75%), 91 (56.88%) and 63 (39.37%) of the study subjects had poor (5/50), moderate (6/60-6/24) and good (6/18-6/6) visual acuity respectively. Highest incidence was that of lens prolapse (25%) and corneal complications (25%) in ECCE. Among the subjects who underwent MSICS, highest incidence of intra operative complication noticed was that of lens prolapse, iris prolapse and anterior chamber collapse, each at 20%.Conclusions: It was concluded that the restoration of visual acuity was fairly good and uniform in both the procedures. Certain intra operative complications such as lens prolapse, iris prolapse and anterior chamber collapse were noticed in MSICS and capsular flaps and vitreous loss were noticed only in ECCE.

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.
