A comparison of 500 Binkhorst implants with 500 routine intracapsular cataract extractions. 1978

N S Jaffe, and D M Eichenbaum, and H M Clayman, and D S Light

We compared 500 Binkhorst lens implants with 500 routine intracapsular cataract extractions. The two groups consisted of consecutive cases matched according to surgeons, surgical technique, time interval of the study, and ocular status. The results of visual acuity were comparable in the two groups; 89.0% of the implant group and 85.4% of the routine intracapsular group achieved 6/12 (20/40) or better visual acuity. The rate of complications in each group was comparable except in the case of corneal edema, which was higher in the implant group (1.2%) than in the routine intracapsular group (0.4%). The rate of clinically significant cystoid macular edema was higher in the routine intracapsular group (2.2%) than in the implant group (1.4%).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007908 Lens, Crystalline A transparent, biconvex structure of the EYE, enclosed in a capsule and situated behind the IRIS and in front of the vitreous humor (VITREOUS BODY). It is slightly overlapped at its margin by the ciliary processes. Adaptation by the CILIARY BODY is crucial for OCULAR ACCOMMODATION. Eye Lens,Lens, Eye,Crystalline Lens
D007909 Lenses Pieces of glass or other transparent materials used for magnification or increased visual acuity.
D008268 Macular Degeneration Degenerative changes in the RETINA usually of older adults which results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the MACULA LUTEA) because of damage to the retina. It occurs in dry and wet forms.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.
