ABSTRACT

The case of a female patient who was seen at the cataract service of "Enrique Cabrera" ophthalmological center in Havana was presented. The objective was to describe the results of phacoemulsification cataract surgery to treat iridocorneal endothelial syndrome through the cho choo chop and flip phaco variant. The biomicroscopic changes of the anterior segment, the tonometry, the endothelial cell density and the best corrected visual acuity before and after surgery were shown. The main results comprised minimal changes in the iris from the biomicroscopic viewpoint, normalization of ocular tension, loss of less than 15% in endothelial cell density and postoperative optimal visual acuity. It was concluded that phacoemulsification cataract surgery proved to be a valid alternative that achieved visual improvement in a case of iridocorneal endothelial syndrome, with stable recovery from the underlying disease.
