Capsulorhexis phimosis after bimanual microphacoemulsification and in-the-bag implantation of the Akreos MI60 intraocular lens.

An 80-year-old woman with corticonuclear cataract had cataract extraction by bimanual microphacoemulsification and in-the-bag implantation of the Akreos MI60 (Bausch & Lomb) intraocular lens (IOL). After 6 months, a complete capsulorhexis phimosis developed and surgery was performed to open and reduce the phimosis, with complete functional recovery. In the fellow pseudophakic eye, an acrylic hydrophobic Acri.

Bimanual microphacoemulsification and Acri. Smart intraocular lens implantation combined with vitreoretinal surgery.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of bimanual microphacoemulsification combined with vitrectomy in eyes with clinically evident cataract and vitreoretinal pathology.

Setting: Institute of Ophthalmology of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy.

Methods: This prospective case series comprised 19 consecutive patients with clinically significant cataract who were scheduled for vitrectomy.

Bimanual microphacoemulsification versus coaxial miniphacoemulsification: prospective study.

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of bimanual microphacoemulsification and coaxial miniphacoemulsification and assess the potential advantages of the former over the latter.

Setting: Institute of Ophthalmology, University of Modena, Modena, Italy.

Methods: In a controlled prospective clinical trial, 100 eyes of 50 patients with nuclear or corticonuclear cataract of grade 2 to 4 on the Lens Opacities Classification System III had phacoemulsification.
