Abstract
The aim of our studies was to find out whether the position of the eyeball in the orbit was associated with the occurrence of corneal collapse during cataract extraction as well as with the occurrence of vascular detachment in the postoperative period. We followed up 87 patients (35 men and 52 women) aged 44 to 87 with immature, mature, and over-mature age-related cataract. Eyeball elevation was measured using a Hertel mirror exophthalmometer. The patients were divided into three groups according to the position of the eyeball in the orbit. The distance was less than 16 mm for Group 1 patients (29 patients), 16-20 mm for Group 2 (46 patients), more than 20 mm for Group 3 (12 patients).
