Abstract
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of surgical treatment of posterior polar cataract. Methods Retrospective analysis of 44 eyes of 32 patients with posterior polar cataract underwent phacoemulsification. The preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were compared. The condition of posterior capsule and postoperative complications were recorded. Results The postoperative BCVA of all patients were improved. There was statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative BCVA (P<0.05). The posterior capsular rupture occurred in 9 eyes (20.45%). There was 1 eye with lens nucleus dropping into vitreous cavity in operation and 6 eyes with high intraocular pressure at the first day after operation. Conclusion Reasonable operation could obtain good effect for posterior polar cataract, although the incidence rate of posterior capsular rupture is still high. Key words: Cataract, posterior polar; Phacoemulsification; Effect, clinical
