Popis: | We describe a combined cataract/glaucoma procedure for patients on chronic miotics that includes smallincision phacoemulsrfication to provide increased predictability of visual outcome and early visual rehabilitation, and an inferior pupilloplasty to facilitate intraoperative visualization. To date, 42 procedures have been performed with excellent results. Complications, although minimal, have included iridolenticular/ iridocapsular adhesions, diplopia, rupture of 10-0 polypropylene sutures, peripheral anterior synechia, hyphema, and fibrinoid aqueous. |
