PURPOSE: The aim of the present study is to assess central corneal edema and visual recovery after cataract surgery performed according to two technologies: conventional ultrasonic and liquefaction (Aqualase®). METHODS:This is a prospective contralateral study in wich 20 patients with comparable preoperative conditions were submitted to cataract surgery were evaluated. Preoperative assessment involved complete ophthalmological examination and the study included patients with bilateral cataracts up to grade 2, according to the Lens Opacity Classification System II. The same cristaline fracture […]

PURPOSE: To present biometric predictability, evaluating postoperative refraction and visual acuity in eyes submitted to multifocal intraocular lens implantation. METHODS: Retrospective study in 88 eyes of 50 patients, submitted to phacoemulsification with multifocal lens implant of three commercial brands: ReSTOR, ReZoom and Tecnis. For biometric examination were used: optic biometry associated to the use of tomography of anterior segment and Holladay II biometric formula. With postoperative refraction, visual acuity and implanted IOL, according to Holladay II formula, we calculated the […]
