The Study of Late Post Operative Complications (Pco) Following Small Incision Cataract Surgery with Square Edged Rigid/ Foldable Intraocular Lens Implantation
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: PCO is one of the most common complication of cataract surgery and there is a primary need to reduce its incidence. Treatment with Neodymium:YAG ( Nd: YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy is expensive and associated with significant morbidity in the identified patients. Improvements in surgical technique and IOL related factors like material and design definitely influences the PCO development and its incidence. Aim and objective: The assesment of visual outcome and posterior capsular opacification in 750 eyes of 700 patients operated for cataract surgery - SICS with PCIOL implantation. Also early identification of complications, timely intervention & management to ensure quality vision. Material and Methods: The study is a retrospective study which involves the assesment of visual outcome & various post operative complications in 750 eyes of 700 patients operated for cataract surgery( SICS with PCIOL implantation) in the department of ophthalmology in KGMCH, Asaripallam during Febravary 2016 to May 2016. Patients attending our hospital out patient department & also through camps in kanyakumari district are recruited. Results: The various post operative complications following Rigid/ Foldable IOL implantation are hyphaema, cornealedema/ striate keratopathy, intraocular pressure rise, cystoids macular edema, bullous keratopathy. Among patients with rigid IOL 11% developed the post operative complications where as in patients with foldable IOL 4% developed the complications. PCO developing later after 6 months period is found to be the most common cause for defective vision. Conclusion: The modern surgical techniques, IOL optic design and lens material are the important factors in reducing the incidence of PCO.
