[Clinical observation of phacoemulsification with foldable intraocular lens implantation through a limbus incision]
Objective:
To investigate the clinical therapeutic effects of phaco-emulsification with foldable intraocular lens implantation through a limbus tunnel incision.
Methods:
Eighty-six patients (107 eyes) with senile cataract underwent phacoemulsification with acrylic foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation through a 4 mm superior limbus tunnel incision.
Results:
The corrected visual acuity of 0.5 or better was 62.6% at the 1st day, and 76.6%, 92.5% and 88.8% respectively at the 1st week, 1st month and 3rd month postoperatively.
Conclusion:
Phacoemulsification with foldable intraocular lens implantation through a limbus tunnel incision has advantages of both scleral tunnel incision and clear corneal tunnel incision. The postoperative therapeutic effects are satisfactory.
