[Cataract extraction combined intraocular lens implantation through corneal incision].
OBJECTIVE
We reported the clinical results of the extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation through a corneal incision.


METHODS
The ECCE with IOL implantation was performed through a stepped corneal incision within limbus 1.0-1.5 mm. The changes of intraocular pressure (IOP), endothelia and astigmatism were observed.


RESULTS
The IOP has no significant changes, and the rate of endothelial cells loss (12.55%) also has no significant differences compared with routine cataract extraction. The corneal astigmatism became 0.96 DC with the rule after operation.


CONCLUSIONS
For complicated cataract after trabeculectomy, uveitis with pupillary block, and serious diabetic cataract, the intraocular surgery through a corneal incision is effective and safe.
