Abstract:AIM: To investigate the clinic efficacy and operation safety of improved small incision extracapsular cataract extraction in the sight-regaining program.
METHODS: Totally 82 cases(82 eyes)included in the sight-regaining program of the cataract patients were underwent small incision extracapsular cataract extraction conbined with improved technology(anterior capsule staining, continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, auxiliary incision), postoperative visual recovery and operative complications were observed.
RESULTS: Postoperative visual acuity: uncorrected visual acuity when out of hospital: ≥0.3 were 67 cases(82%); 1wk after dismissed from hospital: ≥0.3 were 76 cases(93%), admist which ≥0.8 were 45 cases(55%). There is no serious complication such as posterior capsule rupture, zonular dialysis, etc. in the operation.
CONCLUSION: Combined use of improved technology can increase operation safety of small incision extracapsular cataract extraction.
