[Cataract extraction combined intraocular lens implantation through corneal incision]
Objective:
We reported the clinical results of the extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation through a corneal incision.
Methods:
The ECCE with IOL implantation was performed through a stepped corneal incision within limbus 1.0-1.5 mm. The changes of intraocular pressure (IOP), endothelia and astigmatism were observed.
Results:
The IOP has no significant changes, and the rate of endothelial cells loss (12.55%) also has no significant differences compared with routine cataract extraction. The corneal astigmatism became 0.96 DC with the rule after operation.
Conclusion:
For complicated cataract after trabeculectomy, uveitis with pupillary block, and serious diabetic cataract, the intraocular surgery through a corneal incision is effective and safe.
