Currently cataract surgery is the most frequently undertaken surgical intervention in healthcare; over 300, 000 cataract operations were undertaken in 2003–2004 under UK National Health Service (NHS) care.1 High volume day-care surgery is now standard and given the large numbers of patients, th...
Of the 200 eyes, 74.5 % underwent a complete procedure of laser capsulotomy, lens fragmentation, and corneal incisions; 5 eyes had suction breaks during the laser procedure that led to the remainder of the laser procedure being aborted; 21 (10.5 %) eyes showed the presence of small anterior ...

Cataract surgery is being transformed into a refractive operation, and is now the most common procedure to correct refractive errors, being performed five times more frequently than corneal refractive treatments.8 Unfortunately, the limitations of currently available biometry and surgical techniques mean ...

The procedure was not reported for 1 eye. The mean age for membranectomy was 1.8 years (range, 0.2-11.1 years), while the mean age for capsulotomy was 7.6 years (range, 0.2-13.7 years). Among children age 2 years or younger at the time of initial lens surgery, additional surgery to ...
The clinical outcomes of interest were: visual acuity at time of discharge from postoperative hospital follow up, visual acuity at time of final refraction; complications related to surgery occurring during the operation, within 48 hours of surgery, and within 3 months of surgery. In addition, ...
