The first successful planned extracapsular cataract extraction was reported by Jacques Daviel in 1752. The history of European cataract surgery in the first half of the 18th century, immediately prece...
The proportion, clinical characteristics, and risk factors of zonulopathy in primary angle closure disease (PACD) were analyzed. Zonulopathy is an underrecognized common finding in PACD, especially in...

This is a retrospective analysis of 88 consecutive patients with PACD who underwent bilateral cataract extraction at Beijing Tongren Hospital from August 1, 2020 to August 1, 2022. Zonulopathy was dia...
Of 88 patients with PACD (67.3 ± 6.9 y old, 19 males and 69 females), the overall proportion of zonulopathy was 45.5% of patients (40/88) and 30.1% of eyes (53/176). Among the PACD subtypes, the propo...
Zonulopathy is common in PACD, especially in patients with AAC. Shallow anterior chamber depth and thick lens thickness were associated with an increased proportion of zonulopathy....
Cataract, defined as an opacity of the lens in one or both eyes, is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. Cataract may initially be treated with new spectacles, but often surgery is required, whic...
To compare visual outcomes after implantation of trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) to those of extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs. To produce a brief economic commentary summarising recent economic ...
We searched CENTRAL (which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Trials Register), MEDLINE, Embase, and three trial registries on 15 June 2022. For our economic evaluation, we also searched MEDLINE an...
We included studies comparing trifocal and EDOF IOLs in adults undergoing cataract surgery. We did not include studies involving people receiving IOLs for correction of refractive error alone (or refr...
We used standard Cochrane methods. Two review authors working independently selected studies for inclusion and extracted data from the reports. We assessed the risk of bias in the studies, and we asse...
We included five studies that compared trifocal and EDOF lenses in people undergoing cataract surgery. Three trifocal lenses (AcrySof IQ PanOptix, ATLISA Tri 839MP, FineVision Micro F) and one EDOF le...
Distance visual acuity after cataract surgery may be similar whether the lenses implanted are trifocal IOLs or EDOF (TECNIS Symfony) IOLs. People receiving trifocal IOLs may achieve better near vision...
94 million people are blind or visually impaired globally, and cataract is the most common cause of blindness worldwide. However, most cases of blindness are avoidable. Cataract is associated with dec...
Presbyopia occurs when the lens of the eyes loses its elasticity leading to loss of accommodation. The lens may also progress to develop cataract, affecting visual acuity and contrast sensitivity. One...
To assess the effectiveness and safety of implantation with trifocal versus bifocal IOLs during cataract surgery among people with presbyopia....
We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Trials Register) (2022, Issue 3); Ovid MEDLINE; Embase.com; PubMed; ClinicalTrials...
We used standard Cochrane methodology and graded the certainty of the body of evidence according to the GRADE classification....
We identified seven studies conducted in Europe and Turkey with a total of 331 participants. All included studies assessed visual acuity using a logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (LogMAR ch...
We found low-certainty of evidence that compared with bifocal IOL, implantation of trifocal IOL may improve uncorrected intermediate visual acuity at one year. However, there was no evidence of a diff...
Mitomycin C has been used adjunctively in various procedures, including pterygium excision. Delayed wound healing, the long-term complication of mitomycin C, can occur several years later and may rare...
A 91-year-old Thai woman had undergone pterygium excision 26 years ago, with adjunctive mitomycin C, as well as an uneventful extracapsular cataract extraction in the same year. The patient developed ...
This is a case report of a rare novel complication of mitomycin C application. Conjunctival bleb formation from the reopening of surgical wound, which was related to the previous mitomycin C use, coul...
To explore the utility of the Catquest 9SF visual function (VF) questionnaire along with visual acuity (VA) for determining appropriateness and priority for cataract surgery. To evaluate the feasibili...
Prospective multicentred interventional observational study....
Subjects undergoing sequential cataract surgery in both eyes at 4 sites in Ontario....
We recorded best-corrected VA (BCVA) and VA with current correction (CCVA) in each eye and both eyes (OU) and Catquest-9SF responses on a tablet before and after cataract surgery. Linear regression mo...
Preoperative BCVA and CCVA in the worse eye were significant predictors of change in VF (p = 0.006 and p = 0.008, respectively); subjects with worse VA had a greater improvement in VF after surgery. T...
For patient groups with equal VA, the Catquest-9SF score can help determine priority for surgery. Web-based data capture and interpretation allow for efficient virtual assessments of VF. A BCVA in the...
To evaluate the effect of Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) on macular thickness and to compare the combined GATT and cataract extraction (CE) with GATT surgery alone regarding mac...
A retrospective, comparative study was designed. The patients who underwent GATT or combined GATT and CE with preoperative and regular postoperative spectral domain optic coherence tomography analysis...
Fifty-four eyes fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in this study, (Group 1 = 29 eyes, Group 2 = 25 eyes). The mean thicknesses of central macula (CM), superior inner macula (SIM), and ...
GATT can be a safe procedure with minimal and transient adverse effect on macular thickness and structure. Performing GATT together with CE caused no additional increase in the risk of macular thicken...
To describe the clinical and demographic characteristics of patients presenting with cataract at uveitis diagnosis treated at a single institution between 2005 and 2019 and to analyze postoperative ou...
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of children (<18 years of age) diagnosed with cataract at their initial uveitis presentation who subsequently underwent cataract extraction. Outcome mea...
A total of 14 children (17 eyes) were included. Mean patient age was 7.2 ± 3.9 years. Methotrexate was initiated preoperatively in 11 patients; adalimumab, in 3. Primary intraocular lens was implanted...
In our study cohort, surgery for preexisting cataract at uveitis diagnosis resulted in improved visual acuity. Postoperative uveitis flare-ups were relatively uncommon, occurring in 4 of 17 eyes. Glau...
Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) and goniotomy with Kahook Dual Blade both achieved sustained reductions in intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication burden in eyes with steroid-i...
To characterize the 24-month surgical outcomes of GATT and excisional goniotomy in eyes with steroid-induced or uveitic glaucoma....
A retrospective chart review was performed of eyes with steroid-induced or uveitic glaucoma that underwent GATT or excisional goniotomy, either standalone or combined with phacoemulsification cataract...
Forty eyes of 33 patients underwent GATT, and 24 eyes of 22 patients underwent goniotomy, of which 88% and 75%, respectively, had 24-months' follow-up. Concomitant phacoemulsification cataract surgery...
Both GATT and goniotomy demonstrate favorable efficacy and safety in steroid-induced and uveitic glaucoma eyes. Both procedures achieved sustained reductions in IOP and glaucoma medication burden at 2...
