Anterior Astigmatism Research Articles

Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of birnanual microphacoemulsification and Acri. smart intraocular lens implantation. Methods 75 patients （89 eyes ） with age-related cataract were divided into two groups in random. 34 patients （40 eyes） were treated with bimanual microphacoemulsification while other 41 patients （49 eyes） were treated with conventional phaeoe- mulsification. The visual acuity, phacoemulsifieation time, the endothelial cell loss percentage, anterior chamber aqueous protein concentration, astigmatism and operative complications were observed. Results The mean phaco energy of bimanual group （ 12. 34 ± 7.57 ） % was lower than conventional group （ 17. 16 ± 9. 35） %. The uncorrected visual acuity of bimanual group was better than conventional group in 1 day and 1 week after surgery. Flare intensity at 1 day postoperatively was significantly lower in bimanual group than in conventional group（ 19.47 ± 5.28 and 22.86 ± 4. 30 pc/ms, P =0. 015）. The astigmatism of birnanual group （0.78 ± 0.40） D were significantly lower than conventional group（ 1.12 ± 0. 48 ） D. Conclusions The bimanual microphaeoemulsification and Acri. smart intraocular lens implantation are safe and effective which can be performed through a 1.2 mm incison. Key words: phacoemulsification; lenses, intraoeular; cataract; micro-ineision
