Eighty five canine eyes performed phacoemulsification for cataract extraction between January 1999 and December 2001 were reviewed. Mean age was 7.26 years old and main breed was poodle (37 dogs). Mature cataract was 51.76％, immature cataract 27.05% and hypermature 21.18％. Improvement of vision was detected in 75 (88.24%) of 85 eyes at 4 weeks after surgery. Postoperative complications were posterior capsular opacification(6), partial posterior synechia(5), glaucoma(3) and uveitis(2). Reasons for failure of visual improvement among the patients performed phacoemulsification were mainly related to development of postoperative anterior uveitis, secondary glaucoma and progressive retinal degeneration.

Background: Long-term comparisons of phacoemulsification with topical medication are limited in canine diabetic cataracts. Objectives: To compare outcomes of eyes submitted to phacoemulsification with those of topical medication for canine diabetic cataracts and identify risk factors for complications. Methods: Through medical records review, 150 eyes (76 dogs) with diabetic cataracts were included; 58 eyes (31 dogs) underwent phacoemulsification (phaco-group) and 92 eyes (48 dogs) received ophthalmic solution alone (medication-group). The medication-group was divided into owner-led and vet-led groups depending on who elected not to perform surgery. Comparisons involved time-to-complications, vision, and the number and type of ophthalmic solutions administered. The association between complications and pretreatment clinical findings was investigated. Results: No difference was found in complication risk between the phaco and owner-led medication groups. Conversely, the vet-led medication-group had a higher complication risk than the other groups. At the last follow-up, 94.8% of the phaco-group had vision, whereas 7.6% of the medication-group restored some visual axis. Poor glycemic control in the medication-group and younger age in the phaco-group increased complication risk. At 1-year post-treatment, the average number of ophthalmic solutions administered was 1.7 and 2.6 in the phaco and medication groups, respectively. The medication-group used anti-inflammatories the most throughout the follow-up, whereas the phaco-group used anti-inflammatories the most until 1-year post-treatment and lacrimostimulants at 1.5-year post-treatment. Conclusions: For canine diabetic cataracts, phacoemulsification is recommended because it is superior to topical management alone in terms of maintaining vision and reducing the number of ophthalmic solutions required in the long term.

Background: Long-term comparative data of phacoemulsification combined with endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (phaco-ECP) versus phacoemulsification (phaco) alone in dogs are rare. Objectives: To investigate the effects of ECP on postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) and complications after phaco in dogs with normal IOP. Methods: Medical records of IOP, conjunctival hyperemia, corneal edema, aqueous flare, posterior synechia, intraocular fibrin, and posterior capsule opacification (PCO) formation in 15 canine eyes that underwent phaco-ECP and 36 eyes that underwent phaco alone were evaluated retrospectively. ECP was applied when either the iridocorneal angle or the ciliary cleft was narrow or closed. Results: The IOP of the phaco-ECP group persisted within the normal range postoperatively. The phaco-ECP group had a shorter period of dorzolamide use than did the phaco group. PCO was formed earlier in the phaco-ECP group than in the phaco group. The phaco-ECP group showed more severe corneal edema than the phaco group at every follow-up visit. Posterior synechia was more severe in the phaco-ECP group than in the phaco group from two weeks until the last follow-up. Conclusions: Although ECP might cause more postoperative complications such as corneal edema and posterior synechia, it could effectively reduce the incidence of IOP increase after phaco in dogs with a high risk of postoperative glaucoma.

A 2-year-old miniature poodle dog was referred to Seoul Animal Clinic for assessment of traumatic ocular lesion by cat claw. Corneal perforation accompanied by hyphema following iridal laceration was observed in the left eye. Topical antibiotics, mydriatics and systemic antibiotics/steroids were applied to treat severe uveitis with miosis and fibrinous exudate. Although lenticular lesion was explored after mydriasis, it was obscured by severe corneal edema around corneal perforation. Despite aggressive treatments, the uveitis became more serious in the next day. To prevent septic implantation syndrome from anterior lens capsule disruption, phacoemulsification surgery was performed. The anterior lens capsule disruption was detected during continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis. The left eye remained the vision with mild posterior capsule opacification and intermittent conjunctival hyperemia during seven-month follow-up.

A two-year-old, spayed female, Bichon Frise, was referred for severe corneal edema and corneal ulcer in the left eye (OS). The cornea had gradually swelled over one week after phacoemulsification performed a month prior, and that was refractory to 5% sodium chloride eye drop instillation or temporary partial tarsorrhaphy. A complete ophthalmic examination was performed. Severe corneal edema with intrastromal bullae and moderate anterior chamber flare was found on slit-lamp biomicroscopy in the OS, which obstructed the fundus examination. Corneal thickness was measured using high-resolution ultrasound biomicroscopy. The thickness of the OS cornea was 2.74 mm. The "letter-box" conjunctival flap was planned. Dorsal and ventral superficial keratectomy followed by a hood conjunctival flap was performed. Topical and systemic antibiotics and 5% sodium chloride eye drops were prescribed. Decreased corneal thickness was observed at one week, two weeks, and two months postoperatively (1.53 mm, 1.32 mm, and 0.92 mm, respectively). There were no postoperative complications, such as ocular discomfort or recurrent corneal ulcers. The "letter-box" conjunctival flap, a type of superficial keratectomy and conjunctival advancement hood flap, effectively relieved the severe irreversible corneal edema. This could be a simple but effective surgical intervention for patients with endothelial cell damage especially after phacoemulsification.

A 13-year-old, castrated male Yorkshire terrier was presented with acute blepharospasm 2 months after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in the left eye. Menace response was weakly positive in the left eye. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 98 mmHg in the left eye. On ophthalmic examination using slit lamp biomicroscope, episcleral injection and corneal edema were observed in the left eye. Aqueous flare (1+) and iris bombe with peripheral anterior synechia were also detected in the left eye. In spite of medical treatments, IOP was remained more than 50 mmHg. Synechiolysis and radial iridectomy with irrigation/aspiration of anterior chamber were performed in the left eye. One week after the surgery, tissue plasminogen activator was injected to resolve the blood and fibrin clot in the left anterior chamber. Menace response was recovered completely 1 month after the surgery and IOP was maintained less than 20 mmHg more than 6 months.

Cataracts occur commonly in older dogs, which can lead to partial or complete vision loss. In the present study, a 12-year-old male poodle presented for evaluation of ocular sinister (OS) cataract. This study was a clinical case report on the process of performing surgery using phacoemulsification (PHACO) and the problems that arise in patient diagnosed with OS cataract. In the oculus dexter (OD), the artificial eye was inserted because there was no electroretinography (ERG) response. In the OS, the ERG was 51.6 μV, so operation was performed because the visual pathway function remained. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy of the OS showed complete loss of vision as a hypermature cataract and that the lens was hardened. During the cataract surgery using PHACO, visco-elastic agents were used to maintain the shape of the eyeball, and the PHACO procedure took 3.13 minutes. The hardened lens and visco-elastic agents were removed from the eye through PHACO surgery, and the operation was completed by inserting an intraocular lens (IOL). As a result of managing IOP for 2 months after surgery, it remained stable at a maximum of 19 mmHg, and no postoperative ocular hypertension (POH) occurred. Currently, one year has passed since the operation, and the dog maintains its daily life with its left eye without any problems.

The purposes of the present study were to compare the effects of viscoelastic materials available in phacoemulsification in dogs and to evaluate $ARTZ^{\circledR}$ as their substitute. Six eyes from the healthy adult dogs were used in each group with different viscoelastic materials, $Healon$^{\circledR}, Viscoat^{\circledR}$ and $Occucoat^{\circledR} and ARTZ^{\circledR}$. The phacoemulsification was carried out with surgical micmscope(Leica M65l, Germany) and pbacoemulsiscation gystemGfidek 6000, Japan). $ARTZ^{\circledR}$ had lower pseudoplasocity than other viscoelastics. There was not significant difference in phacotime, rate of posterior capsule rupture, incidence of the intraocular inflammation among the viscoelastic materials. The corneal thickness in all groups was significantly increased in a day after operation and decreased gradually. However $ARTZ$^{\circledR}$ had more time to recover the preoperative thickness than the others. CoBiunctival congestion in the group with $ARTZ^{\circledR}$ was more severe but. there were no postoperative posterior capsule opacity and visual loss. The present study indirated that $ARTZ^{\circledR}$ could be used as viscoelastic material in dogs with respect to the vision after surgery.
