Phacoemulsification is a safe and effective surgical approach for managing subluxated cataracts, yielding good visual outcomes. Careful surgical planning and technique are crucial for successful outcomes in these complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Cataract Surgery

Background:

  • Subluxated cataracts present unique surgical challenges.
  • Phacoemulsification aims to address these challenges while preserving ocular structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of phacoemulsification in patients with subluxated cataracts.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of this surgical technique in complex cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 22 eyes with subluxated cataracts.
  • Preoperative assessment included visual acuity, slit-lamp examination, and fundus evaluation.
  • Phacoemulsification with foldable intraocular lens (IOL) implantation (in-the-bag or scleral fixation) was performed.

Main Results:

  • No major intraoperative complications were observed.
  • Good postoperative visual acuity (6/12-6/6) was achieved in 55.55% of eyes.
  • Complications included IOL decentration (40.9%), pupillary capture (9.09%), and one case of retinal detachment.

Conclusions:

  • Phacoemulsification offers a safe and predictable surgical option for subluxated cataracts.
  • Tailoring surgical parameters to the grade of subluxation is essential for optimal results.
