Ob of cataract operations according to the data of the eye clinic of Kazan University for ten years

Abstract

Recently, during eye operations in general and during the extraction of catataracts in particular, a great desire to adopt conservative methods began to be found. To such should be attributed and the extraction of cataracts without iridectomy. If, in spite of this, we dare to publish the results of the operation according to the Graefe method, that is, with iridectomy, then only in the hope that this message will not be superfluous and belated. At least, both in our country in Russia and abroad, as far as it was possible to be convinced personally during his stay there, this method still has the full right of citizenship, and therefore it is necessary to take it into account and conform when judging the meaning of any new or various modifications of the already existing method. Without a doubt, the most desirable method will be the one that gives the best results and least of all changes the appearance and shape of the organ. From this side, the operation of cataract extraction without iridectomy is more tempting, since the correct shape of the pupil is preserved and, according to the adherents of this method, better vision is obtained. There is no doubt that with this method there are also more complications, as is known, even since the introduction of the lens extraction operation.
