| Summary: |
Purpose: The aim of
this paper is to present an alternative method of
phacoemulsification.
Material and methods: Bimanual
phacoemulsification through two paracenteses was
performed in 15 eyes. After cataract removal intraocular
lenses were implanted into the capsular bag through a
small paracentesis (less than 2 mm).
Results: Anatomical and functional results were
good in all cases. After comparison with conventional
phacoemulsification we concluded, that the bimanual
technique shortens the time of ultrasounds usage and
reduces postoperative astigmatism.
Conclusions: Phacoemulsification performed
through two paracenteses can be the next step in
cataract surgery development. |
