An elegant sutureless ECCE procedure
It is ideal for situations where high quality, high volume output is desirable without high-tech instrumentation or equipment
Provides an alternative to standard ECCE when phaco is high risk.

Ideally utilized as part of a team system to maximize efficiency as a single procedure approach to cataract surgery
Increasingly being utilized as an alternative tool for high risk cataracts
Integral part of a “funnel” strategy: screening, diagnostics, perioperative care, and surgical care
Has provided a new paradigm to address the problem of global cataract blindness

The funnel strategyThe funnel strategy
Utilizes key skills at each level of care Maximizes use of individual strengths Surgical yield in areas of low access is
approximately 15% of those being screened Criteria based: Decreased vision, nl pupils,
clear cornea If surgical goal is 3,000 cases, 20,000 will
need to be screened, 8,000 examined.

Flexible enough to be used with a variety of cataract pathologies
Quick, efficient surgery once mastered Rapid recovery
Minimal postoperative corneal edema• Minimal induced astigmatism (studies show
comparable to phaco) No sutures to be removed late Low cost per case

Anesthesia Anesthesia
Routine peribulbar or anterior conal block- topical possible but less desirable
Lidocaine 2% 5cc alone usually sufficient because of short case time
Orbital compression helpful but does not require soft eye like ECCE
Routine prep and drapeTopical 5% betadine conj. drops and skin scrub,
isolate lashes

Scleral incisionScleral incision
With fine toothed forceps hold limbal tissue and create 7.5 mm “frown’’ incision 1.5 mm from limbus at apex of the frown. 1/2 to 2/3 depth.
Initially it may be easier to make a simple linear incision

Sclero-corneal tunnel dissectionSclero-corneal tunnel dissection
Carefully follow the curve of the globe, slicing anteriorly approx 2 mm into clear cornea centrally
Take care to “straighten” the limbal junction angle A 3 to 3.5 mm tunnel length (half the length of the
crescent blade)

Remove remaining cortex using suck and wash approach (dragging cortex to center of pupil and releasing).
Standard Simcoe is not ideal instrument- designed for limbal incision. Chamber maintenance is dependant on making inner opening the pivot point. The eye is now ready for lens implantation.
Fill anterior chamber with methylcellulose or air.

The all-age magnitude of blindness for EC Province is estimated to be 38,354 people out of a population of 6.57 million;
Avoidable causes of blindness accounted for 73.2% of blindness, 86.1% of severe visual impairment and 85.7% of visual impairment.
