Purpose:
To compare outcomes of implantation of IOL by
push – in and pull – in, in accordance of in the bag placement of iol, anterior chamber maintenance and stretching of incision.
Setting:
: Yeshwantrao Chavan Rural hospital, latur and MIMSR Medical College Latur, Maharashtra, India
Methods:
230 cataract cases were selected for IOL implantation, 115 by each method. Charts were made of the number of attempts taken by each method for implanting IOL in bag and problems noted with each method.
Results:
Pull – in method of IOL implantation is more beneficial than Push – in method, with former having advantage of higher incidence of in the bag implantation with a significance of 98% (Chi-square test probability value less than .02) in experienced hand, less anterior chamber collapse, less instrumentation and less wound gaping with only dis-advantage of a confident hand required for pull–in method.
Conclusions:
Pull-in method is better than push-in method with advantages of its own.
