ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the surgical results and complications in leprosy patients with cataract who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation retrospectively.METHODS:
A total of 17 eyes of 13 leprosy patients with cataract underwent a phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. We performed pupillary sphicterectomy or sector iridectomy for miotic pupils.RESULTS:
With mean age of 73 years and a mean follow-up of 8.2 months, patients admitted for 3.2 days. The average visual acuity was 0.1 (0.04~0.3) preoperatively, 0.5 (0.04~1.0) at 1 week after operation, and 0.6 (0.1~1.0) at 2 months after operation. Intraoperative complications were posterior capsular rupture (2 eyes) and vitreous loss (1 eye). Common Postoperative complications were after cataract (4 eyes) and hyphema (2eyes).CONCLUSIONS:
We thought the phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation was useful method for cataract of leprosy patient for increased life quality and satisfaction.Palabras clave
