A comparison of patient pain and visual outcome using topical anesthesia versus regional anesthesia during cataract surgery.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the level of patient pain during the phacoemulsification and implantation of foldable intraocular lenses while under topical, intracameral, or sub-Tenon lidocaine.

Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective study. Three hundred and one eyes subjected to cataract surgery were included in this study.

Outcome of primary vitrectomy in phakic patients aged younger than 50 years with rhegmatogenous retinal detachments.

Purpose: To evaluate the visual outcome, primary anatomic success, and cataract progression of phakic eyes of patients aged younger than 50 years treated for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with primary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).

Methods: This was a retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study. The data from 53 RRD patients undergoing PPV were analyzed.
