To describe the pre-surgical, surgical, and post-surgical considerations for phacoemulsification in non-human primates.
Records of non-human primates that underwent phacoemulsification by the Ophthalmology Services of FHCV-UAB and HCV-UM, between 2003 and 2009 were reviewed.
Five primates were represented: one gorilla, one chimpanzee, one pygmy marmoset, one orangutan, and one chacma baboon. Three were males and two females, of a median age of 16.8 years. Four primates presented bilateral cataracts and one unilateral (n = 9 eyes). Cataracts were immature in two eyes, mature in four and hypermature in 3. One-handed phacoemulsification was used in seven eyes and a two-handed technique in 2. Intraocular lenses (IOLs), with optic powers between +19.0 and +21.5D, were implanted in the four large-sized primates. All the primates were more active and social after the surgery.
Phacoemulsification in non-human primates is highly successful and associated with an overall good visual outcome. Nevertheless, specific considerations should be applied in these species.
描述非人灵长类动物白内障超声乳化手术的术前、术中和术后注意事项。
回顾了2003年至2009年间在FHCV-UAB和HCV-UM眼科服务中心接受超声乳化手术的非人灵长类动物的记录。
涉及五只灵长类动物：一只大猩猩、一只黑猩猩、一只侏狨、一只猩猩和一只南非大狒狒。其中三只雄性，两只雌性，中位年龄为16.8岁。四只灵长类动物患有双侧白内障，一只患有单侧白内障（共9只眼）。两只眼的白内障为未成熟期，四只眼为成熟期，三只眼为过熟期。七只眼采用单手超声乳化技术，两只眼采用双手技术。为四只大型灵长类动物植入了屈光度在+19.0至+21.5D之间的人工晶状体（IOL）。所有灵长类动物术后都更加活跃且社交性增强。
非人灵长类动物的超声乳化手术非常成功，总体视觉效果良好。然而，在这些物种中应考虑一些特殊因素。
