Surgical technique
IOL, LEAKAGE
The procedure was performed under topical or general anesthesia, according to the patient’s condition, by a single anterior segment surgeon (HMR). After a 2.8 mm clear corneal incision, phacoemulsification was performed using the divide and conquer technique, and the IOL was inserted in the capsular bag using the Monarch II injector and a C cartridge (Alcon Laboratories Inc., Fort Worth, TX, USA). After irrigation and aspiration, the anterior chamber was formed with the balanced salt solution. There was no wound leakage. Subconjunctival betamethasone (4 mg) and ceftazidime (100 mg) were injected, and the eyes were patched.
