Percentages are adjusted for correlation between the eyes of patients who underwent bilateral lensectomy. The 95% CI is presented for overall outcome measures, and the 99% CI is presented for outcome measures pertaining to the specified demographic or procedural characteristic.
Ocular abnormality of the cornea, iris, or anterior chamber noted at the time of lensectomy. Excludes 11 eyes with anterior segment abnormality unknown.
Excludes 12 eyes with anterior vitrectomy unknown.
No indicates aphakia, yes, pseudophakia.
Not all eyes with cataracts were eligible for inclusion in the study.
The following surgical complications were reported at the time of lensectomy: cloudy cornea (11 eyes), dislocated implant (1 eye), hyphema (5 eyes), iris damage (6 eyes), iris prolapse (4 eyes), iris sphincterotomy (1 eye), lens fragment in vitreous (3 eyes), acute ocular hypertension (19 eyes), retained cortex (5 eyes), return to operating room (1 eye), unplanned iridectomy (4 eyes), and other (30 eyes).
