Methods Of the 203 eyes in 190 cataract cases,120 eyes received small-incision anterior chamber neucleofragmentation-cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation surgery(small-incision group),83 eyes received phacoemulsification cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation surgery(phaco group).Results After three days,the rates of the vision ≥0.5 were 74 eyes(61.7%) in small-incision group and 54 eyes(65.1%) in phaco group,respectively(χ2 =0.24,P0.05).After one month,the rates of the vision ≥0.5 were 98 eyes(81.7%) in small-incision group and 72 eyes(86.7%) in phaco group,respectively(χ2=1.48,P0.05).There was no significant difference between small-incision and phaco groups.After operation,both groups,which all performed sclera tunnel incision,had minor astigmatisms.In small-incision group,the main complications were reversible corneal opacification,iris-detachment during operation,anterior chamber hemorrhage and anterior chamber inflammation. Conclusion Small-incision anterior chamber neucleofragmentation-cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation surgery has little injury,rare complications,good treatment outcome and simple technique,which is feasible and practical for grass-roots hospitals.Read More
