The objective of this study was to determine the complication risk and prevalence after phacoemulsification in cats with presumed congenital/inherited cataracts. Twelve client-owned cats were included in the study. This retrospective study spanned 13 yr and involved 22 eyes. The median age at the time of surgery was 15 mo (range: 4.5-168 mo of age). Recorded complications were 3 eyes developed postoperative ocular hypertension, 1 eye developed glaucoma, 7 eyes developed feline herpes virus-1 signs, and 7 eyes developed postoperative uveitis >2 wk after surgery. No eyes had developed intraocular sarcomas at the time of their last exam. All eyes remained visual at last follow-up (range: 0.5-121 mo). Success was defined as a comfortable and visual eye without intraocular neoplasia, glaucoma, a partial or complete retinal detachment, or uveitis that occurred >2 wk after surgery or persisted longer than 2 wk. Twenty-one out of 22 eyes had a successful outcome. In this study, cats with presumed congenital/juvenile cataracts who underwent phacoemulsification had an excellent outcome.
本研究旨在确定疑似先天性/遗传性白内障猫行超声乳化术后的并发症风险和发生率。本研究纳入了 12 只患宠。该回顾性研究跨越了 13 年，涉及 22 只眼。手术时的中位年龄为 15 月龄（范围：4.5-168 月龄）。记录到的并发症包括 3 只眼发生术后眼高压，1 只眼发生青光眼，7 只眼发生猫疱疹病毒-1 迹象，7 只眼发生术后葡萄膜炎>2 周。在最后一次检查时，没有眼发生眼内肉瘤。所有患眼在最后一次随访时均保持视力（范围：0.5-121 月龄）。成功定义为没有眼内肿瘤、青光眼、部分或完全视网膜脱离或葡萄膜炎的舒适和有视力的眼，这些并发症发生在术后>2 周或持续时间超过 2 周。22 只眼中有 21 只获得了成功的结果。在这项研究中，接受超声乳化术的疑似先天性/幼年白内障猫有极好的结果。
