DEAR DR. LAMB - A lot
of us with cataracts would
like to hear something about
this new operation. I think
they use ultrasound to vibr
ate out the cataract. Is this
better than the old methods?
DEAR READER - The
lens is normally clear and
composed of soft gelatinous
material that can change its
shape readily. The shape is
changed by the contraction of
a ring of muscles around the
outer edge of the disk-like
lens. As the clear lens
material gets cloudy you can
no longer see through it. The
area of opacification may be

common cause of baldness

than females. The exact

Ultrasonic surgery
for cataracts
small or grow to include the
entire lens. In older persons
the cataract is often hard and
rigid. In younger people it
may be soft ana pliable.
There are a number of
problems with cataract surg
ery. The lens is encased in a
capsule membrane. Im
mediately behind the lens is
the large chamber of the eye
ball, and it is full of a jelly
like material called the
vitreous. The part of the cap
sule behind the lens is the
front partition or wall that
keeps this material from
leaking out to the front of the
eye. In younger people the
lens capsule is attached to
the jelly-like material.
Surgeons like to leave the
capsule in place and not have
to tear the lens loose.
To avoid problems in
younger patients the surgeon
makes a tiny incision about
one-eighth inch long. With
special instruments he
carefully removes the cap
sule layer in front of the lens
material. He may need to ir
rigate the area to help wash
out the smaller pieces.
It is not possible to suck out
the hard cataract material in
older persons. By that time
the vitreous jelly-like
material is less well attached
to the capsule on the back
side of the lens. Commonly an
incision nearly an inch long is
made and the whole lens
structure with its front and
back capsule is slipped out.
There seems to be some ad
vantages in avoiding the
larger incision needed to slip
out the intact hard lens. The
large incision causes greater
distortion of the outer eye
leading to more astigmatism
and other problems. The
combined technique using a
small incision, ultrasonics
and irrigation, which doesn’t
require the more compli
cated computer technique of
replacing fluid in the lens
space, will probably become
more common. A decision on
which of these techniques to
use has to be individualized
for the patient.
