Abstract

INTRODUCTION – NUCLEUS RELATED PROBLEMS DURING CATARACT SURGERY MAY CAUSE SEVERE VISION LOSS IF ADEQUATE MEASURES ARE NOT UNDERTAKEN. THESE PROBLEMS ARE RETAINED LENS MATTER, POSTERIOR CAPSULAR RENT WITH OR WITHOUT VITREOUS LOSS, ZONULAR DEHISCENCE OR NUCLEUS DROP INTO VITREOUS CAVITY.

METHOD- MOST OF CATARACT SURGERY COMPLICATION CAN BE AVOIDED IF PROPER OPERATIVE PROTOCOLS ARE FOLLOWED. THIS VIDEO DEMONSTRATES MANAGEMENT OF NUCLEUS RELATED COMPLICATION SUCH AS ANTERIOR CHAMBER WASH, ANTERIOR VITRECTOMY TO BREAK VITREOUS STRAND OR PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY TO REMOVE LENS FRAGMENTS AND MANAGEMENT WITH SCELERAL FIXATED IOL FOR BOTH SICS AND PHACOEMULCIFICATION.

CONCLUSION- PROPER MANAGEMENT OF NUCLEUS RELATED COMPLICATIONS IN CATARACT SURGERY MAY SAVE THE SIGHT.
