Effect of infusion pressure on retinal structure and function during cataract surgery
Journal Title: Guoji Yanke Zazhi - Year 2018, Vol 18, Issue 8
Abstract
With cataract surgery become commonly performed, to pursue efficiency of the surgery, ophthalmologists prefer to increase vacuum during phacoemulsification. High vacuum can cause the instability of the anterior chamber, requiring increased infusion pressure to maintain the stability. However, high infusion pressure can affect the structure and function of the retina. This article reviews the studies of effect of infusion pressure during cataract surgery on retinal structure and function.
