| description | The development of ophthalmology in Cuba in recent years has prompted the introduction of new surgical techniques for the treatment of cataracts, some of them are modified from others seeking to improve their results and introduce concepts to optimize them. This work was intended to determine the results of extracapsular lens extraction by the modified Blumenthal technique. An observational, descriptive, prospective cross-sectional study was conducted. The universe consisted of all patients (eyes) diagnosed with presenile and senile cataract who were surgically treated with this surgical technique in the Eye Center of the State of Lara, Venezuela, in the period from March 2006 to June 2010. The sample was formed by a simple random sample of 3 280 patients. Most of them were over 60 years of age and there was a similar behavior in both sexes. The white skin patients predominated, most were retired ones, and a preoperative visual acuity of counting fingers. There were few complications: the most common were posterior capsule rupture, vitreous loss and hyphema. |
