Description
Summary:ABSTRACT The Determination of the tactics for surgical cataract treatment in the fellow eye in patients with bilateral cataracts did not received any unambiguous solution till now and the periods of operation performance are interpreted differently. The authors analyzed the results of treatment in 486 patients with bilateral cataracts. The authors identified a possible favorable interval between first and second operations in case of bilateral cataract, which was based on the clinical, functional and immunological parameters. Phacoemulsifications with peri-operative antibiotic prophylaxis were carried out not later than 4 days after the operation on the first eye, if there were no complications intra-operatively and in post-operative period in the first eye. Recommended time of surgery in the fellow eye in 114 patients of the main group allowed to reveal high functional results (0.7-1.0) in 90.4% in the first eye and in 85.1% of cases in the fellow eye, that promoted the restoration of binocular functions in 98 % of cases after surgery in the shortest possible time. In all patients of the main group the clear vision at different distances were achieved after surgery with bilateral implantation of multifocal IOLs in both eyes in the maximum shortest time. Selected dates of cataract surgery in both eyes taking into account the general and associated ocular pathology allows to reduce the emotional cost, time and organizational problems in preparation for the operation, adding the benefits of quality of early rehabilitation after surgery in both eyes.
