Methods: Two patients are unable to lie flat respectively during phacoemulsification underwent this technique in Jingdong and Tonghai county Hospital of Yunnan province in China. Each patient was positioned erect or semirecumbent in a standard reclining cataract surgical chair. The ceiling-mounted microscope was rotated 60 degrees from the vertical to point toward the patient. Results: The intraoperative and postoperative periods were uneventful in two patients, with good visual outcomes after surgery. Conclusion: This technique is valuable for situations where the patient requires upright positioning because of the inability to recline flat, and should be considered for cases where standard surgical positioning is not possible.展开更多

The results revealed that this combined operation can make most of them get useful visual acuity, although they were often accompanied with several comlicated eye injuries. We think the most important thing is to choose suitable opertion time, the reasonable operation method and take close followup after operation.展开更多

This paper studies the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) levels in aqueous humor after traumatic cataract extraction and posterior chamber (PC) intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in rabbits,and discusses the effect of TNF on postoperative anterior ocular inflammation. Methods. Twenty seven pigmented rabbits were divided into three groups: for the first group, the IOL were placed in the capsular bag after traumatic cataract extraction; for the second, the Extracapsular cataract extraction without IOL implantation; and for the third, the control group without surgical intervention. On the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th day postoperatively, aqueous humor samples were obtained. A modified double antibodies indirect sandwich ELISA was used to detected for the presence of TNF. The data were studied by means of analysis of variance in SAS software. Result. The TNF level was increased in aqueous humor and reached its maximum on the 1st postoperative days after traumatic cataract extraction and PC IOLs implantation, and the TNF levels are significantly higher (P<0 05) on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th day postoperatively in traumatic cataract extraction and PC IOL implanted group than that in the non surgical intervention group and extracapsular cataract extraction group. Conclusions. The increase of TNF levels had a close relationship with presence of the IOL itself which induces the secretion of TNF. This suggested that TNF as the principal mediators of immunological and inflammatory responses, so that may play critical role in anterior ocular inflammative response after traumatic cataract extraction and IOL implantation.展开更多

Patients with a corneal spherical aberration 【0.3 μm were implanted with a zero-spherical aberration advanced optics(AO) aspherical IOL and patients with an aberration ≥0.3 μm received a Tecnis Z9003 aspherical lens in experimental group. RA patients were randomly implanted with an AO lens or a Tecnis Z9003 lens. Three months after surgery total spherical aberration, photopic/mesopic contrast sensitivities, photopic/mesopic with glare contrast sensitivities, and logMAR vision were measured.RESULTS:Statistical analysis on logMAR vision showed no significant difference between two groups(P =0.413). The post-surgical total spherical aberration was 0.126 ±0.097 μm and 0.152 ±0.151 μm in the experimental and RA groups, respectively(P =0.12). The mesopic contrast sensitivities at spatial frequencies of 6,12 and 18 c/d in the experimental group were significantly higher than of the RA group(P =0.00; P =0.04;P =0.02). The mesopic with glare contrast sensitivity in the experimental group at a spatial frequency of 18 c/d was also significantly higher vs the RA group(P =0.01).CONCLUSION:Pre-surgical corneal spherical aberration measurement in cataract patients followed bycustomized selection of aspherical IOL implants improved mesopic contrast sensitivities at high spatial frequencies, and thus is a superior strategy compared to the random selection of aspherical intraocular lens implants.展开更多

Patients with corneal spherical aberration ≤0.3 μm were implanted with a zero-spherical aberration advanced optics(AO) aspherical intraocular lens and those with corneal spherical aberration >0.3 μm received a Tecnis ZA9003 aspherical lens(-0.27 μm spherical aberration). Preoperative total remnant spherical aberration was estimated and actual total spherical aberration was measured 3months postoperatively. The consistency between preoperative and postoperative spherical aberration was analyzed by t-test,correlation analysis, and Blant-Altman plots.Results: The estimated and measured values of total spherical aberration were(0.189±0.151) μm and(0.141±0.131) μm,with a statistical difference(t=5.347,P<0.01). For 45 eyes implanted with AO lenses, preoperatively estimated and postoperatively measured total spherical aberration were(0.268±0.137) μm and(0.214 ±0.103) μm. For 37 eyes implanted with Tecnis ZA9003, preoperative estimate of total spherical aberration was(0.092±0.103) μm and postoperative measured value was(0.054±0.106) μm. Statistical significance was noted, as was a positive linear correlation between preoperative and postoperative values(γ=0.846,P<0.01). Bland-Altman analysis showed high consistency between the estimated and measured spherical aberration.Conclusion: The estimated total spherical aberration measured preoperatively differed from the value measured postoperatively, but the two values showed good agreement. It is clinically feasible to conduct personalized selection of asphericalIOL based on Scheimpflug photography system(Pentacam) to measure corneal spherical aberration.展开更多
