Incidence Of Photophobia In Peripheral And Sector Iridectomy

Fifth patients had bilateral intracapsular cataract extractions with a peripheral iridectomy in one eye and a sector iridectomy in the opposite eye. There was no difference in photophobia between the two eyes in 78% of patients. Twelve percent of the patients had greater photophobia in the eye with the peripheral iridectomy, and 10% had greater photophobia in the eye with the sector iridectomy.

Viscoat aspiration with an enlarged Simcoe cannula

ABSTRACT Enlarging the aspiration port on a Simcoe double‐barreled irrigation/aspiration cannula from a 0.3 mm to 0.4 mm diameter facilitates Viscoat® (chondroitin sulfate‐sodium hyaluronate) removal at the end of cataract extraction surgery.
