Preferred practice of cataract surgery in brown cataract: A questionnaire-based survey among Indian ophthalmic surgeons.
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology 2022 November
Purpose: To determine the most preferred method of operating brown cataracts among ophthalmologists in India.
Methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted among ophthalmologists all over India through electronic and social media from May 1 to June 15, 2022. All single, voluntary entries within the stipulated time period were accepted for analysis.
Results: A total of 230 ophthalmologists participated in the study among which 198 (86%) preferred Manual small-incision cataract surgery (mSICS) as the first option. This was preferred due to the high risk of complications associated (40, 33.6%) as well as endothelial damage due to increased Phaco power (53, 47.9%). The majority of the surgeons (162, 70.4%) preferred a superior tunnel for SICS, and 51.7% (119) performed continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis in 100% of their cases. The most common complication encountered was posterior capsular rupture (PCR) (66%), followed by zonular dialysis (ZD) (18.7%), whole bag removal (8.3%), and Descemet's membrane detachment (7%).
Conclusion: Despite diverse recent new modalities of Femto Laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). Phakonit, and Smart Intraocular Lens (IOLs), the majority of ophthalmologists still find the manual small-incision cataract surgery (mSICS) procedure a safe surgery for mature brown cataracts.
