Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of primary posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis (PPCCC) on the positional stability of IOLs. METHODS This study is a prospective intra-individual comparative randomized controlled trial including 31 patients (62 eyes). Eyes of the same patient were randomly assigned to the PPCCC group (18 right eyes and 13 left eyes) or group without PPCCC (NPCCC group). Eyes in both groups were implanted with a one-piece foldable hydrophobic acrylic IOL via routine cataract surgery. Patients in the PPCCC group underwent additional manual PPCCC before IOL implantation. Examinations were performed 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively. IOL tilt (x, y), decentration (x, y), anterior chamber depth (z) and refractive prediction error data were collected and analyzed with Pentacam. RESULTS Postoperatively, the range of IOL position change over 3 months in PPCCC group was comparable to NPCCC group, which indicated smaller value in every tilt and decentration index. PPCCC eyes showed comparable tilt and decentration with NPCCC eyes in this study endpoint: mean tilt (x, y), decentration (x, y) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were 1.04 ± 0.56°, 0.90 ± 0.64°, 0.239 ± 0.140 mm, 0.233 ± 0.133 mm and 4.01 ± 0.32 mm, respectively, in the PPCCC group vs. 1.09 ± 0.76°, 1.10 ± 0.82°, 0.252 ± 0.153 mm, 0.244 ± 0.155 mm and 4.01 ± 0.38 mm, respectively, in the NPCCC group. Refractive prediction error in the PPCCC group demonstrated a mild hyperopic shift vs. the NPCCC group (0.13 ± 0.50 vs. 0.05 ± 0.39; p = 0.208), and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) did not differ between the two groups (0.027 ± 0.014 vs. 0.059 ± 0.185; p = 0.377). CONCLUSIONS Comparable IOL tilt, decentration, ACD and refractive prediction error were observed in PPCCC eyes with that underwent routine cataract surgery. Little IOL position fluctuation and good visual acuity were shown in PPCCC group over time. TRAIL REGISTRATION The study was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Register Center on May 27th, 2020 (protocol code ChiCTR2000033304, 27/05/2020).

Use of Simultaneous Bilateral Cataract Surgery (SBCS) to Optimize Parameters Affecting the Subjective Perception of the Procedure. J Ophthalmol 2021; 2021:5584906. [PMID: 34194819 PMCID: PMC8214475 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5584906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Revised: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Simultaneous Bilateral Cataract Surgery (SBCS) is still a relatively controversial procedure. The main objection is the risk of bilateral endophthalmitis or bilateral refractive error. However, SBCS has also some advantages (faster visual rehabilitation, lower risk of nosocomial infection, and lower cost). Performing surgery on both eyes in one session has one additional advantage which has not yet been described in the literature (according to the information available to authors). It allows surgeons to distinguish the effect of minor differences in the surgical protocol on the subjective perception of the procedure more accurately, which is a more suitable method than comparing two independent groups of patients. Purpose To compare the effect of minor changes in the surgical protocol during SBCS on intraindividual subjective perception of surgery (pain, pressure, glare, and perception of the duration of the surgery). Methods During the surgery of the right and left eyes of one patient, we randomly changed one surgical parameter (use of intracameral anesthesia, light intensity of the operating microscope, type of eyelid speculum, creation of the posterior circular capsulorhexis, and communication with the patient during surgery). Patients immediately after both surgeries subjectively evaluated the perception of pain (on the scale 0–10), pressure, and glare (on the scale 0–5) and estimated the duration of the surgery, separately for each eye. Each change was evaluated in a group of 50 patients. Results In the control group with no parameters changed, we noted no difference in subjective perception of the first and second surgery. In subgroups, where we changed the protocol, we detected only minor differences in subjective perception of pain, pressure, glare, and duration of the surgery. Only one statistically significant difference in subjective pain perception was in the subgroup where we used eye intracameral anesthesia (0.34 eyes with intracameral anesthesia, 0.44 eyes with only topical anesthesia). We did not note any statistically significant differences in the perception of the time of surgery. Conclusion SBCS can be used to optimize the parameters of cataract surgery. In our study, we noted a positive effect of intracameral anesthesia on subjective perception of surgery.
