Dr Gunjan Tank, Dr. Suketu Bhapal

Abstract :

 AIM : To study patients having posterior capsular rent during cataract surgery with slit lamp examination as well as UBM and to find out complications associated with it. MATERIAL AND METHODS : 51 patients having posterior capsular rent during cataract surgery were evaluated as a cross sectional study. All patients underwent slit lamp examination, USG and UBM. Tononetry and fundoscopy was also performed in each case. Results are evaluated as per UBM findings. RESULTS : In our study 5o% of patients had peripheral anterior synechiae, 20% of patients had pupillary block, 10% patients had posterior synechiae, 8% patients had optic capture and iris bombe and 2% patients had descemet’s tear and exudative memane. In our study 84% patients of ACIOL developed glaucoma while only 8% of each tilted iol patients and SFIOL patients develop glaucoma.. As 0.55mm is normal thickness of cornea, > 90% of patient had corneal edema in our study. 34 patients were having corneal thickness more than 0.6mm. CONCLUSION : With slit lamp examination one can diagnose PC rent accurately when cornea is clear, but in patients with post operative corneal edema and non dilating pupil UBM has an important role in diagnosing PC rent and its associated changes
