Visual Outcomes of Manual, Small-Incision Cataract Surgery in Patients with Coexisting Corneal Opacity
Journal Title: International Journal of Ophthalmology & Eye Science (IJOES) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between corneal opacity and vision acuity in patients with cataracts and coexisting corneal opacity by calculating the area of corneal opacities in the optical zone. Methods: This retrospective study involved 177 cataract patients (184 eyes) with corneal opacity who were successfully undergoing manual, small-incision cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. These patients were all treated by the same surgeon from December, 2011 to March, 2014 in our hospital. The 184 eyes analyzed were divided into three groups according to the area of corneal opacity in optical zone (O/OZ): Group 1: O/OZ < 30%, Group 2: 30% ≤ O/OZ < 60%, Group 3: O/OZ ≥ 60%. Results: Preoperative visual acuity
