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...
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 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...
Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the world and, as such, cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed operations globally. Surgical techniques have changed dramatically over the...
To compare the effectiveness and safety of FLACS with standard ultrasound phacoemulsification cataract surgery (PCS) by gathering evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs)....
We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Trials Register; 2022, Issue 5); Ovid MEDLINE; Ovid Embase; LILACS; the ISRCTN regi...
We included RCTs where FLACS was compared to PCS....
Three review authors independently screened the search results, assessed risk of bias and extracted data using the standard methodological procedures expected by Cochrane. The primary outcome for this...
We included 42 RCTs conducted in Europe, North America, South America and Asia, which enrolled a total of 7298 eyes of 5831 adult participants. Overall, the studies were at unclear or high risk of bia...
To investigate the surgical and pharmacological management and outcomes of patients with cataract and concurrent uveitis....
Data from the Swedish National Cataract Register, 2018-2019, were collected and analysed. Uveitic eyes were identified and eyes without uveitis were used as controls. Generalized estimating equations ...
The study included 719 eyes with and 256 360 without uveitis. The mean age was 66.0 ± 13.5 (standard deviation [SD]) years in the uveitis group and 74.3 ± 8.7 years in the control group (p < 0.001). S...
In this large registry-based Swedish cohort study, the findings demonstrate that cataract surgery in patients with uveitis poses more challenges and requires special surgical precautions. Eyes with co...
This is a 5 years multicentre database study that recruited subjects from the Malaysian Ministry of Health Cataract Surgery Registry (MOH CSR), aimed to determine risk factors that affect cataract sur...
The aim of the study was to evaluate the refractive outcomes of combined cataract surgery and vitrectomy compared to cataract surgery alone....
This retrospective chart review study included two groups: (1) combined surgery in 103 eyes (101 patients) who underwent cataract surgery with posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) placement by a...
There was no statistically significant difference between predicted and actual postoperative refractive outcomes between the combined and cataract surgery alone groups (within ±0.5 diopters [D], p = 0...
Combined cataract surgery and vitrectomy allows excellent refractive outcomes equal to cataract surgery alone, allowing each procedure to be performed independently by separate anterior and posterior ...
In 2020, almost 100 million people were blind or visually impaired from cataract. Cataract surgery is a cost-effective treatment for cataracts. In Nigeria, twice as many women are cataract blind as me...
A retrospective review of cataract surgery undertaken in all eye health facilities in Imo State in 2019. Data collected included the type and location of facilities, patient demographics and the numbe...
The CSR overall was 330/million and was slightly higher in women (347/million) than in men (315/million) (p<0.001). More elderly women (≥65 years) accessed cataract surgery through outreach than men a...
The overall CSR in Imo state was approximately one-third of that recommended for sub-Saharan Africa. Although the CSR was higher in women than in men, considerably higher CSRs are needed in women to a...
Visual impairment and interventions to preserve vision may impact dementia risk. Thus, we aimed to explore the associations of cataract and cataract surgery with the risk of dementia....
Prospective data from 300,823 individuals in the UK Biobank were used. We used multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals for ...
After a mean follow-up of 8.4 years, 3226 individuals were diagnosed with dementia. The nonsurgical cataract group had increased risk of all-cause dementia (HR, 1.214; 95% CI, 1.012-1.456; p = .037) a...
Cataract patients who did not receive surgical treatment had an increased risk of dementia. However, cataract surgery could reverse the risk of dementia. Our findings on brain structures and pathways ...
A teenage boy who was previously diagnosed to have congenital ichthyosis presented to the eye clinic with complaints of gradually decreasing vision in both eyes since childhood. The best-corrected dis...
