Comparison of different endophthalmitis prophylactic measures in cataract surgery - An analysis of 2.4 lakh cases.

Purpose: To compare different endophthalmitis prophylaxis methods adopted in cataract surgery (manual small-incision cataract surgery and phacoemulsification) between the years 2013 and 2021 in the community eye care section of a tertiary eye care hospital in South India and report their outcomes.

Methods: All cataract surgeries performed from January 2013 to December 2021 (2,46,874 surgeries) at a single center were included in this retrospective study. The different endophthalmitis rates with each regimen were analyzed and evaluated.

High power custom toric intraocular lens for correcting high corneal astigmatism in post-keratoplasty and keratoconus patients with cataract.

Purpose: To analyze the outcomes of phacoemulsification with high power customized toric intraocular lens implantation (IOL) in patients with high corneal astigmatism (6-10 D Cyl) post keratoplasty and keratoconus eyes with cataract.

Methods: Five eyes post keratoplasty with clear graft, four eyes with stable keratoconus, one eye with pterygium excision scar with visually significant cataract were included in this retrospective study. Phacoemulsification was done followed by implantation of custom made high power toric IOL in all patients.
