Phacoemulsification is a valuable technique for treating white cataracts, though it demands advanced surgical skill. This study evaluated its effectiveness and methods in 90 eyes, noting a high success rate in visual acuity improvement.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques

Context:

  • White cataracts present unique surgical challenges.
  • Phacoemulsification is a common cataract surgery method.

Purpose:

  • To assess the efficacy and technical considerations of phacoemulsification specifically in cases of white cataract.
  • To compare outcomes based on nuclear density and surgical approach.

Summary:

  • The study involved 90 eyes with senile cataract, categorized by nuclear density.
  • Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis achieved an 88.9% success rate.
  • 75% of eyes achieved visual acuity over 0.5 post-operation, with significant differences between groups. Mild corneal edema and posterior capsule tear were noted complications.

Impact:
