Outcomes of cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation with and without intracameral triamcinolone in pediatric eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate whether intracameral triamcinolone has an effect on anterior segment inflammation and visual axis obscuration after pediatric cataract surgery with intraocular (IOL) implantation.

Setting: Iladevi Cataract and IOL Research Institute, Ahmedabad, India.

Methods: This retrospective age-matched case-control study comprised consecutive eyes of children having phacoaspiration, posterior capsulectomy, vitrectomy, and IOL implantation.

Triamcinolone-assisted vitrectomy in pediatric cataract surgery: intraoperative effectiveness and postoperative outcome.

Purpose: To evaluate intraoperative effectiveness and postoperative outcome of intracameral, preservative-free triamcinolone acetonide in pediatric cataract surgery.

Methods: A prospective, interventional, observational case series was performed in children undergoing congenital cataract surgery. Three standardized applications of triamcinolone acetonide were used.

Comparison between Ringer's lactate and balanced salt solution on postoperative outcomes after phacoemulsfication: a randomized clinical trial.

Aim: To compare the effects of balanced salt solution (BSS) and Ringer's lactate (RL) on corneal thickness, endothelial morphology, and postoperative anterior chamber inflammation in eyes undergoing phacoemulsification.

Setting: Iladevi cataract and IOL research center, Ahmedabad, India.

Materials And Methods: This prospective randomized study comprised 90 consecutive patients with age-related cataract who were randomly assigned to either Group 1 (n = 45) with BSS or Group 2 (n = 45) with RL.

Intraoperative performance and postoperative outcomes of cataract surgery in infant eyes with microphthalmos.

Purpose: To report the intraoperative performance and postoperative outcomes in microphthalmic eyes of infants younger than 1 year having bilateral cataract surgery.

Setting: Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India.

Methods: This prospective observational study excluded eyes with ocular trauma, inflammation, posterior persistent fetal vasculature causing stretching of the ciliary processes or tractional retinal detachment, aniridia, or chorioretinal coloboma.

Triamcinolone-assisted vitrectomy in pediatric cataract surgery.

We describe a technique to manage anterior vitreous face disturbance that may occur during performance of a manual posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (PCCC) in pediatric eyes. The technique renders the vitreous visible to the anterior segment surgeon and ensures a thorough and complete anterior vitrectomy in congenital cataract surgery after a manual PCCC using preservative-free triamcinolone acetonide.

DisCoVisc versus the soft-shell technique using Viscoat and Provisc in phacoemulsification: randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: To compare the effects and outcomes of DisCoVisc (hyaluronic acid 1.6%-chondroitin sulfate 4.0%) with those of the soft-shell technique using Viscoat (sodium hyaluronate 3.
