TARGET EMMETROPIA IN MANUAL SMALL INCISION CATARACT SURGERY
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 16
Abstract
Patient dissatisfaction is very common even with good cataract surgery. Cataract surgery done by phacoemulsification with foldable IOL implantation results in minimal astigmatism. This results in early rehabilitation thereby rendering the patient nearly emmetropic for both distant and near work. But the drawbacks of this surgical technique are high cost, steep learning curve and is entirely machine dependent. This study has been conducted to know if it is possible to achieve minimal astigmatism with MSICS with rigid PMMA IOL in selected cases thus achieving cost effectiveness and reducing the duration of surgery
