How to manage the cataract with nystagmus under topical anesthesia: A case report

Abstract

In the case, we aim to point out the way to manage the cataract with nystagmus under topical anesthesia in phacoemulsification surgery. A 62-year-old female patient came to department of ophthalmology in January 2020 with a complaint of blurry vision in her right eye for a year. The observed visual acuity of the subject's right eye was measured to be 0.15. During the biomicroscopic examination, the presence of bilateral nystagmus and cortical cataract was observed. The iris and retina were found to be undamaged. No lens subluxation was seen. Under topical anesthesia in phacoemulsification surgery, globe stabilization was provided by holding the conjunctival pouch. With one hand and with the other hand, capsulorhexis, the most critical part of the operation was achieved. The case we present is close to point out the easy method to explain to manage this kind of cataracts. How to cite this article: Alaçamlı G.
