Efficacy of Phaco combined with IOL implantation through 3.2mm transparent corneal incision in treatment of cataract

Abstract

AIM: To explore the effect of 3.2mm clear corneal incision cataract phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens(IOL)implantation.METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 95 cases(107 eyes)cataract patients treated in our hospital, and all patients were given 3.2mm clear corneal incision Phaco combined with IOL implantation. The postoperative visual acuity, corneal curvature, corneal astigmatism, anterior chamber depth and complications were observed.RESULTS: Postoperative 3d, 1wk, 1mo patients with the uncorrected visual acuity(0.16±0.06, 0.15±0.05, 0.14±0.04)were significantly better than preoperative(0.48±0.15). The anterior chamber depth(3.86±1.09, 3.69±1.04, 3.84±1.07mm)was significantly higher than the preoperative(2.71±0.88mm)(PP>0.05).CONCLUSION: 3.2mm clear corneal incision Phaco combined with IOL implantation can effectively improve the recovery of postoperative visual acuity and reduce the corneal astigmatism, and it is a safe and effective surgical treatment of cataract.
