Abstract
To evaluate the outcome of prophylactic use of intravitreal ranibizumab in cases of complicated phacoemulsification surgery, ranibizumab was injected through intravitreal route in 7 cases of complicated phacoemulsification cases. An intraocular lens was implanted in the capsular bag or in the sulcus. Ophthalmic viscosurgical device was aspirated, and 0.05 mL of ranibizumab was injected in middle vitreous space. Cases were followed up, and optical coherence tomography was performed. The first postoperative uncorrected visual acuity was 20/40 in 3 cases, 20/80 in 3 cases, and 20/120 in 1 case. Considering the prevalence of cystoid macular edema after complicated cataract surgeries, this might be an alternative treatment modality.
