Abstract:
Abstract Background Total or ‘NO GLOW’ cataracts pose a surgical dilemma in terms of choice of surgery between SICS and Phacoemulsification. Aim This study compares the distribution of Torsional Phacoemulsification versus Small Incision Cataract Surgery in NO GLOW Cataracts Settings and Design A hospital based cross-sectional study, conducted in a tertiary care institute located in the hilly region of northern India. Methods and Material All patients above 40 years of age with NO GLOW cataract undergoing SICS/T-PHACO were included. Ethical approval and consent from patient was duly sought. The choice of surgery was based on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) afforded by the patient and anterior segment factors related to cornea and anterior chamber depth (ACD). Statistical Analysis The data was analyzed using SSPS trial version 23. For categorical data, Chi square test and student t test was applied. Results 251 eyes having cataract were operated out of which 71(28.3%) were NO GLOW cataracts. T-PHACO was done in 214 (85.3%) while SICS was performed in 37(14.7%) of total cases. The difference was found to be statistically significant. Out of the NO GLOW cataracts, just 35.2% eyes underwent SICS and 64.8% eyes had T-PHACO with a statistically significant difference. NO GLOW cataracts for SICS had mean axial lengths similar to those meant for T-PHACO with no significant difference. No eye undergoing T-PHACO had to be converted to SICS. Conclusion This study shows the plausibility of T-PHACO among patients and surgeons in eyes having total cataracts despite their smaller axial lengths.
