[Cataract extraction through no-sitch small incision combined with intraocular lens implantation]

To investigate the method and clinical effect of cataract extraction through no-sitch small incision combined with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Ninety-three cases of cataract were divided into two groups at random. Cataract extraction combined with IOL implantation through no-sitch small incision was performed on one group, and cataract extraction combined with IOL implantation through conventional large incision was performed on the other group as controls. Follow-up was carried out regularly.

The average uncorrected visual acuity of the small incision group at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after the operation were significantly higher than those of the conventional large incision group.

The small incision of cataract surgery results in a rapid and better rehabilitation of visual acuity. It needs no expensive instruments, costs less, and is suitable to be popularized.
