| Abstract | PURPOSE: To compare corneal endothelial cell loss during cataract extraction by phacoemulsification with 2 different phaco-tip positions. SETTING: Ophthalmic Research Center and Department of Ophthalmology, Labbafinejad Medical Center, Shahid Beheshti Medical University, Tehran, Iran. DESIGN: Randomized clinical trial. METHODS: Eyes scheduled for cataract extraction were randomly assigned stop-and-chop phacoemulsification with the phaco tip in the conventional bevel-up position or with the phaco tip in the bevel-down position. During surgery, the effective phacoemulsification time (EPT) was recorded. Preoperative endothelial cell parameters were compared with measurements taken 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS: Each group comprised 30 eyes (30 patients). There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, anterior chamber depth, axial length, or EPT between the 2 groups. The mean preoperative endothelial cell density (ECD) was 2544 cells/mm(2) ± 64 (SD) in the bevel-up group and 2471 ± 59 cells/mm(2) in the bevel-down group (P=.610). Postoperatively, both groups had a significant decrease in ECD. The mean endothelial cell loss was 5.9% in the bevel-up group and 13.6% in the bevel-down group (P=.012). The percentage of hexagonal cells and coefficient of variation in cell size were not different between the 2 groups preoperatively or postoperatively; however, after surgery, there was a significant decrease in the percentage of hexagonal cells in both groups. CONCLUSION: Corneal endothelial cell loss during phacoemulsification was significantly higher when the phaco tip was in the bevel-down position than in the conventional bevel-up position.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
