Effect of Anterior Chamber Instability during Phacoemulsification Combined with Intraocular Lens Implantation

Abstract

Both operating microscopy and iOCT are efficient for AC stability evaluation. When the phaco and I/A tips were withdrawn from the AC, there was frequent instability. Intraoperative AC instability can increase surgery-induced inflammation and lead to postoperative complications such as PVD, retinal detachment, and macular edema. The self-made ACM can effectively reduce the incidence of intraoperative AC instability and these complications.
