Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 46
Abstract
Surgical results of pars plana vitrectomy combined with SICS: To evaluate the technical feasibility, safety, outcome, and incidence of complications after combined clear corneal small incision cataract surgery (SICS) with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and vitreoretinal surgery. [b]METHODS[/b]: Combined operations of SICS and PPV were performed on 52 eyes of 52 patients with cataract and vitreo retinal diseases. [b]RESULTS[/b]: The mean follow - up time was (10.3 ± 2.8) months. Postoperatively, visual acuity improved in 46 eyes (88.5%); was unchanged in 6 eyes (11.5%). The best-corrected visual acuities (BCVAs) were the following: 6/12 or better (9 eyes), 6/24 to 6/60 (24 eyes), 3/60 (5 eyes), 1/60 (10 eyes), and fingers counting (FC) to light perception (LP) (4 eyes). In 38 eyes BCVA was 6/36 or better, and in 9 eyes it was 6/12 or better postoperatively. Postoperative complications included posterior capsular opacification (7 eyes); secondary glaucoma (1 eye); and retinal detachment (2 eyes).
