Abstract: Aim: To compare the post operative visual outcome and complications between the two groups, In the Bag IOL & Sulcus Fixated IOL. Though this study was done 10 years back, but now because the research material about this topic is published less and not done, so we thought of publishing it. Materials & Methods: This is a prospective clinical study done at Aravind Eye hospital Tirunelveli during September 1999-2000 to compare the visual outcome and complication of posterior chamber IOL implantation.100 patients in each group i.e.in the Bag IOL and Sulcus Fixated IOL placement were reviewed and followed up for a period of 12 months. All cases were operated by small incision cataract surgery technique. Results: 200 cases of posterior chamber IOL implantation by small incision cataract surgery (SICS) were included in our study. Majority of patients were in the age group of 50-70 years. In both groups with male to female ratio were 51.5:48.5. In group-I, (32%) had nuclear sclerosis with posterior sub capsular cataract and in group-II, 36% had mature cataract pre-operative best corrected visual ranged from 6/6 to perception of light only. Post operative complication like corneal oedema, iritis, pupillary abnormality, pigment dispersion, decentration and PCO formation were more in group-II. Post operative uncorrected visual acuity of 6/12 was seen in majority of cases and best corrected visual acuity of 6/6 was seen in 78% of group-I and 60% of group-II. Majority of patients had against-the-rule astigmatism of less than one diopter, 43% in group-I & 47% in group-II. Conclusion: In-the-bag IOL implantation was a better technique as compared to ciliary sulcus IOL implantation.
Key Words: Small incision cataract surgery, In-the-bag, Ciliary sulcus. |
