Abstract:
From 39 eyes of 31 cases which received the cataract operation performed under the surface anesthesia by 2 specialists, 2 senior, 1 third and 1 first year residents at Red cross Society, the following results were obtained. 1. The maximal value of intraocular pressure was 19.0mmHg, minimal value, 11.5mmHg and the average, 14.9mmHg just before the cataract operation. 2. The rupture of the capsule was 21.4% and the loss of vitreous body, 7.1% in intraocular lens extrations. 3. The degree of anteior projetion of the eyes had not direct relationship with the intracapsular lens extraction. 4. All patients who received the cataract operation were required sufficient akinesia sedation. 5. Within normal intraocular pressure, the intraocular pressure didn't seem to have any effect to the loss of vitreous body.
