Understanding Causes of Flat Anterior Chamber Post-Cataract Surgery Common causes of a flat anterior chamber after cataract surgery include excessive intraocular pressure, inadequate wound closure, overfiltration of the aqueous humor, or underlying eye conditions such as glaucoma or uveitis
Shallow AC after CE - American Academy of Ophthalmology Shallow Anterior Chamber After Cataract Surgery When faced with a flat anterior chamber in the immediate post-CE period, your DDx is determined by the answer to one key question: Is the IOP low, or normal high? IOP? How low is low, ie, at what IOP should push us to this side of the DDx? Less than 10
Re-forming the flat anterior chamber with Healon - PubMed A shallow or flat anterior chamber may occur after complicated cataract surgery, a filtering procedure for glaucoma, or combined surgery We describe a technique for injecting sodium hyaluronate (Healon) into the anterior chamber through the previous paracentesis tract in the operating room or at th …
An OD’s Guide to Postoperative Cataract Care - Review of Optometry Any comanaging optometrist must be comfortable grading anterior chamber inflammation, as this is used to judge progress throughout the post-op period (Table 1) It is important at this time to confirm that the patient understands their drop regimen
Cataract Surgery in an Eye With a Shallow Anterior Chamber By replacing the 4-mm thick cataract with a 1-mm thin IOL, cataract surgery in eyes with shallow anterior chambers can restore normal anterior segment anatomy Surgeons can achieve successful outcomes in these challenging cases through the appropriate use of OVDs, fluidic settings, and surgical techniques
Anterior chamber depth — a predictor of refractive outcomes after age . . . Anterior chamber depth (ACD) is becoming a hot topic and plays an important role in correcting the refractive errors (REs) after cataract surgery The aim of this study was to assess the ACD changes and their relationship with the REs after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in patients with age-related cataracts
Treating a Flat Anterior Chamber: What You Need to Know Surgical procedures for restoring a flat anterior chamber may include anterior chamber reformation, injection of viscoelastic substances, or placement of a drainage device to regulate intraocular pressure
Changes in Anterior Chamber Configuration after Cataract Surgery as . . . AOD, TISA, and TIA increased significantly after cataract surgery and showed positive correlation with ACA After cataract surgery, the ACD and angle width significantly increased in eyes with cataract AS-OCT is a good method for obtaining quantitative data regarding anterior chamber configuration
Anterior Chamber Changes Post Cataract Surgery Anterior chamber changes are common after cataract surgery and can impact vision and eye health Common changes include inflammation, increased intraocular pressure, and corneal edema Complications and risks associated with anterior chamber changes include infection, glaucoma, and corneal decompensation
Understanding Shallow Anterior Chamber in Cataract Shallow anterior chamber in cataract is a condition where the space between the cornea and the iris is reduced, leading to potential complications during cataract surgery Causes and risk factors of shallow anterior chamber include trauma, inflammation, certain medications, and anatomical variations
