Abstract

Study design: Retrospective study.Purpose:cataract surgery outcomes in patients with nanophthalmos.Methods:The data regarding the clinical profile,intraoperative and post operative complications of cataract surgery were analyzed.The patients were taken up for cataract surgery only after controlling the IOP to <20mm Hg by doing prophylactic laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and/or by giving adequate IOP lowering agents.All surgeries were performed without doing any prophylactic sclerotomies. Results:18 patients (27 eyes) with nanophthalmos were included.Age ranged from 26-80yrs with a mean of 54.44±14.16yrs. Axial length ranged from 15.06-19.6mm with a mean of 18.36±1.2mm.Out of 18 patients,5 patients(9 eyes)underwent LPI. 2 patients had associated retinitis pigmentosa.None of the patients had choroidal effusion during the surgery or postoperatively
