Cyclodialysis cleft repair and cataract management by phacoemulsification combined with internal tamponade using modified capsular tension ring insertion.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the surgical outcomes of cyclodialysis cleft repair and cataract management by phacoemulsification combined with internal tamponade using a modified capsular tension ring (MCTR) compared with direct cyclopexy.

Methods

The preoperative and postoperative characteristics of patients with cyclodialysis clefts who underwent surgery via insertion of an MCTR into the ciliary sulcus (MCTR group; 16 patients, 16 eyes) or direct cyclopexy (DC group; 16 patients, 16 eyes) were recorded.

Results

The cyclodialysis extended over 2.6 ± 1.9 clock hours in the MCTR group and 3.5 ± 1.8 clock hours in the DC group (P = 0.094). Postoperatively, the IOP was not significantly different between the MCTR and DC groups (12.9 ± 3.7 mmHg vs. 13.8 ± 6.2 mmHg, P = 0.985); the
