    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of oblique nuclear chopping and nuclear extraction by binding procedure (ONCNEB) in cataract extraction. METHODS: Extracapsular cataract extraction by ONCNEB with foldable IOL implantation was performed in 86 senile cataract cases (97 eyes) by using a line-shaped cataract nuclear chopping apparatus developed by the authors. RESULTS: In 97 eyes treated with ONCNEB, there was posterior capsular rupture in 1 eye; anterior chamber hemorrhage in 2 eyes; elevated intraocular pressure in 6 eyes; mild corneal edema in 8 eyes which subsided within 5 days. Corrected visual acuity > or = 0.5 was obtained in 78 eyes (80.41%) one week and 91 eyes (93.81%) three months after the operation. Corrected visual acuity was > or = 1.0 in 66 eyes (68.04%) three months after the operation. Mean astigmatism one week and three months postoperatively showed not significant difference as compared with preoperative astigmatism. CONCLUSION: The ONCNEB can solve the problem of implanting foldable IOL through a small incision. This procedure is relatively simple and safe.
