Abstract:AIM:To study the effect of posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis(PCCC) in phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation·METHODS:Totally 72 cases(72 eyes) undergoing phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation from January 2003 to December 2010 were analyzed.PCCC were used in the intraoperative posterior capsule tears.After surgery,the best-corrected visual acuity,the count of corneal endothelial,intraocular pressure,corneal edema,anterior chamber Tyndall’s sign,pupil and position of the intraocular lens were analyzed·RESULTS:One month after surgery,comparision of the best-corrected visual acuity beyond 0.8 between the cases which used PCCC and the cases which didn’t use PCCC was statistical significant.The difference of the count of corneal endothelial,intraocular pressure,corneal edema,anterior chamber Tyndall’s sign between the cases which used PCCC and the cases which didn’t use PCCC wasn’t statistical significant·CONCLUSION: PCCC can be more effective in reducing postoperative complications in the case which can use PCCC,and the patients can attain a more stable and comfortable visual acuity.
