HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM A ROUTINE CATARACT SURGERY ?
PREOPERATIVE
INTRAOPERATIVE
POSTOPERATIVE
WHEN TO BE CONCERNED ?
• Degree of myopia– High myopia (2%)• ( Spherical equivalent -6.00 D or more; Axial length 26.5
mm or more)
– Pathological myopia (0.5%)• ( Spherical equivalent -8.00 D or more; Axial length 32.5
or more)
UNILATERAL / BILATERALKeep the possibility of amblyopia, specially if unilateral
Visual acuity before onset of cataractHistory of spectacle use; History of trauma
PATIENT EXPECTATIONS (informed consent)Use of reading glasses
Refractive surprises
CENTRAL FUNDUS EVALUATION*Macular scar* *Forster Fuch’s spot* *Myopic degeneration* *Epiretinal membrane*
*CNV* *Posterior staphyloma*
Careful INDIRECT OPHTHALMOSCOPY to look for retinal breaks
Zonular weakness
IOL POWER CALCULATION*Axial length pitfalls* *SRK II / SRK-T / Holladay 2 formula*
*Aim for postop residual myopia*
INTRAOPERATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
• Peribulbar / Retrobulbar block : chances of globe perforation ; topical / subtenon anaesthesia
• Clear corneal incisions with a short tunnel– Limbal / scleral incisions heal poorly due to low scleral
rigidity– Suture if in doubt
• High elasticity of anterior capsule
• Deep AC – Difficult instrumentation– Stretching of iris - > pain (intracameral lignocaine)– Reverse pupillary block (Lens-Iris-Diaphragm
Retrodisplacement Syndrome (LIDRS))– (Low bottle height with low vacuum)
• Avoid traction to vitreous base– Abrupt collapse of anterior chamber– Inject viscoelastic before removing probe
• Posterior capulorrhexis (to avoid future need for YAG capsulotomy); controversial
• IOL – To implant or not
– Abbott Medical Optics Sensar AR40M acrylic IOL (as low as –10 D)
– Alcon AcrySof acrylic IOL (as low as –5 D)– Bausch & Lomb Crystalens AO (as low as +4 D) – Hoya Surgical Optics iSymm (as low as +6 D)
– Avoid silicon IOLs
POSTOPERATIVE
• Refraction takes longer to stabilize
• Check for retinal breaks
• Closer and more frequent follow ups
• Operate the other eye earlier if high anisometropia
