Interventions

Cataract Surgery PROCEDURE

Cataract surgery was performed by using phacoemulsification technique, routinely. But other techniques for instance extra or intracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE, ICCE) techniques were performed when needed. Phacoemulsification technique was performed by 2 experienced surgeon (G.A. and E.C.) under topical anesthesia, thorough limbal incision. Foldable single piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) was inserted in the bag. In the presence of complications related to anterior or posterior capsules, 3 pieces IOL was preferred. When ECCE technique was chosen, single piece polymethyl methacrylate IOL was inserted.
