  • Title: Cataract surgery in nanophthalmic eyes.
    Author: Brockhurst RJ.
    Journal: Arch Ophthalmol; 1990 Jul; 108(7):965-7. PubMed ID: 2369356.
    Abstract:
    Cataract surgery in nanophthalmic eyes may be complicated by postoperative uveal effusion. Evidence is presented that prophylactic lamellar scleral resection with decompression of the vortex veins, performed 2 months or more prior to cataract extraction, may reduce the incidence of this severe complication. A randomized study to determine the benefit of such prophylaxis is advocated.
