Abstract :

Aim–to study the corneal endothelial density before and after Manual small incision cataract surgery(M–SICS). Materials and methods–a total of 100 eyes of 100 patients undergoing M–SICS with PCIOL were included in the study. A detailed history, thorough ocular examination including laboratory tests were done. Endothelial cell density was measured with specular microscope pre–operatively and post–operatively at 1 week,1 month and 3rd month. Results– The mean endothelial cell density(ECD) before undergoing operation was 2597.11 ± 224(SD) while post–operatively at 1st week,1st month and at 3rd month were 2377.39 ± 223(SD), 2349.36±223(SD) and 2328± 224(SD)cells/sq mm respectively. There is reduction of 8.5%, 9.5% and 10.4% endothelial cells at 1st week,1 month and 3rd month respectively . Conclusion – Endothelial cell loss after Manual SICS is comparable to other extracapsular cataract surgery. Hence Manual SICS can be considered as an alternative to Phacoemulsification in developing countries
