Abstract:

Prevention of the anterior capsular contraction syndrome (ACCS) in the late postoperative period in patients with lens subluxation is a current problem of phacoemulsification (PE).

PURPOSE

To develop and clinically evaluate a differentiated method of surgical prophylaxis against ACCS during PE in patients with lens subluxation.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Phacoemulsification surgery with in-the-bag IOL implantation and postoperative follow-up were carried out in 192 patients (192 eyes) with cataract and lens subluxation. In all patients, complete anterior capsulorhexis at the beginning of the surgery was not possible. A differentiated approach was used for capsulorhexis extension at the final stage of the operation after in-the-bag IOL implantation. Three groups of patients were formed according to the three most common clinical situations.

RESULTS

There were no signs of ACCS development in as many as 189 (98.4%) cases. In 3 (1.6%) cases, slight narrowing of the anterior capsulorhexis opening was noted, however, with no effect to the IOL position and functional results of the operation.

CONCLUSION

The differentiated approach to anterior capsulorhexis in patients with lens subluxation allowed to perform phacoemulsification with in-the-bag IOL implantation and to avoid ACCS development in the late postoperative period.
