Description
Estimated cost for Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation at general public hospitals in China is about ¥5600-20000, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥8000-25000, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
Primary clinical use is the surgical treatment of age-related, traumatic, congenital, or secondary cataracts. It restores functional vision by removing the opacified natural lens via ultrasonic emulsification and replacing it with a foldable intraocular lens. Indications include best-corrected visual acuity ≤20/40 interfering with daily activities, glare disability, progressive lens opacity impairing examination of posterior segment, or cataract-induced phakomorphic glaucoma.
Normal Range
Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test with numerical laboratory values; therefore, there is no 'normal range' of quantitative measurements. Success metrics include postoperative visual acuity (e.g., ≥20/40 Snellen at 1 month), intraocular pressure (IOP) within 10–21 mmHg, absence of corneal edema or posterior capsule opacification, and IOL centration within ±0.3 mm of the visual axis.
Low Values - Possible Causes
N/A — This is a surgical intervention, not a test yielding low/high numeric values. However, suboptimal surgical outcomes (e.g., low postoperative visual acuity) may result from: 1) Pre-existing macular pathology (e.g., age-related macular degeneration), 2) Corneal endothelial decompensation, 3) Posterior capsular rupture during surgery, 4) Incorrect IOL power calculation, 5) Persistent postoperative inflammation or cystoid macular edema.
High Values - Possible Causes
N/A — As a surgical procedure, it does not produce high-value lab results. Elevated postoperative parameters (e.g., high IOP >25 mmHg, high corneal thickness >600 µm indicating edema, or high anterior chamber cell count >2+) may indicate complications such as: 1) Malignant glaucoma, 2) Intraocular inflammation (iritis/uveitis), 3) Hyphema or fibrin reaction, 4) Cortical steroid response (steroid-induced IOP elevation), 5) Pupillary block due to mispositioned IOL or vitreous prolapse.
