Optical coherence tomography of the effects of stromal hydration on clear corneal incision architecture.
J Cataract Refract Surg
August 2009
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of stromal hydration on clear corneal incision (CCI) architecture immediately after surgery using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, United Kingdom.
Methods: Clear corneal incisions in adult eyes were examined using a Visante AS-OCT imaging system within 1 hour of surgery.
Article Synopsis
- A study describes a method for placing an unsutured posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) during cataract extraction at the same time as vitrectomy with silicone oil in a group of patients.
- The research involved 25 patients, and the keyhole-shaped capsulorhexes technique was used to improve access and visibility during surgery.
- The results showed that 60% of the eyes successfully received a PC IOL with relatively low complication rates, indicating this method could be beneficial for similar surgical needs in the future.
