We discuss the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations for cataract surgery in eyes with high myopia. We also reviewed the recent literature on refractive outcomes and complicat...
Several novel intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas have recently been developed to optimize refractive outcomes. Haigis formula is the most accurate among the third-generation IOL formula...
There are multiple preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations when performing cataract surgery in myopic eyes. Further research is needed to optimize the refractive outcomes in the...
Cataract surgery in the setting of small pupil represent a major challenge and it is associated with a higher risk of complications. When pharmacologic pupil dilation fails, mechanical pupil expansion...
A variety of pupil expansion devices are offered on the market. They differ for design, material, shape, size, cost, and easiness of insertion/removal, nonetheless they all seem to be effective in imp...
Mechanical pupil expansion can be effectively achieved with a variety of devices, which are well tolerated and can facilitate cataract surgery in the setting of poor mydriasis....
To explain reasons for phaco chop, outline strategies for transitioning to chop, and summarize recent articles discussing chopping techniques....
New variations of phaco chop may help with managing dense cataracts. Studies generally continue to show similar phaco time between traditional manual chopping and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract s...
Both vertical and horizontal chopping continue to demonstrate multiple advantages over other nucleus disassembly techniques....
To compare the intraoperative challenges, complications, and operation time of illuminated chopper-assisted cataract surgery between cataract surgery only and phacovitrectomy in eyes with diabetic ret...
One university hospital, retrospective case series. Two hundred ninety-five eyes of 295 consecutive patients with diabetic retinopathy who underwent cataract surgery only or phacovitrectomy were retro...
Of the 295 eyes, 211 underwent cataract surgery only, and 84 underwent phacovitrectomy. Intraoperative challenges such as small pupil, miosis, or poor red reflex occurred more frequently (46 [21.8%] v...
The use of an illuminated chopper is a potential solution for diabetic cataract surgery, particularly in phacovitrectomy, by decreasing the use of supplemental devices, operation time, and posterior c...
Retrospectively registered....
To compare the binocular vision status of patients pre- and post-cataract surgery, and to investigate the risk factors for patients who develop binocular vision anomalies post-surgery....
A prospective study of patients (≥50 years) who elected to undergo bilateral cataract surgery was implemented. A comprehensive binocular vision test battery including stereopsis, ocular alignment, fus...
Seventy-three participants were included at baseline, 24 (33%) of whom were diagnosed with non-strabismic binocular vision anomalies (NSBVA), mainly convergence insufficiency (18/73, 25%). Fifty-one p...
Binocular vision anomalies, especially convergence insufficiency, are prevalent in the age-related cataract population. Cataract surgery does not appear to be a significant risk factor for the develop...
Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS)'s effect on reducing ultrasound energy, accumulated with cumulative dispersed energy (CDE) units, still remains controversial. This study aims to ev...
It was a retrospective case-control study. Total 629 eyes receiving either low-energy FLACS (performed with Ziemer LDV Z8 platform) or CPS were divided into two groups according to preoperative gradin...
We found overall CDE had no significant difference between two surgeries. However, low-energy FLACS led to a significantly lower CDE in patients with harder cataracts than CPS (18.47 ± 4.32 vs. 12.96 ...
The reduced energy consumption was observed by using low-energy FLACS irrespective of surgeons' experience or the approaches adopted in patients with harder cataracts. Therefore, we can have more conf...
To explore the changes of cytokines expression in aqueous humor (AH) of eyes of patients with congenital cataract (CC) who underwent delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery (DSBCS)....
28 patients with CC underwent DSBCS. AH samples were collected from each eye before surgery. The contents of cytokines in AH were detected by Luminex xMAP Technology....
There was no significant difference in the expression of IL-8, IP-10, MCP-1 and PDGFAA in the AH of the first and second eyes (P = 0.35, 0.39, 0.17, respectively). The level of IL-8 in the first-eye A...
The first-eye surgery in patients with CC may not cause the change of cytokines in the contralateral eye. The expression of IL-8, IP-10 and MCP-1 in the AH was negatively correlated with the age of pa...
The study was registered at www.chictr.org.cn on March 22, 2022 and the clinical trial number is ChiCTR2200057927....
Analysis of age at time of detection and surgery of dense unilateral cataract and investigation of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in a nationwide register-based cohort study, based on the routine...
Data were derived from the Paediatric Cataract Register (PECARE). All children (n = 54) diagnosed with dense congenital unilateral cataract between January 2007 and September 2014 who had surgery befo...
The majority, 35/54 (65%), were detected and operated on before age 6 weeks and 30/35 (86%) were referred from maternity wards. Visual acuity (VA) ≥ 0.5 (decimal, 0.3 logMAR) was found in 7/53 (13%) o...
A total of 90% of the children were detected with cataract within 100 days of birth and 80% were operated on within this period. This study showed better visual acuity in those treated for dense unila...
Climate change is one of the most important threats to human health nowadays. The healthcare industry produces a significant part of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. The aim of this study is to asses...
This observational case series study estimates and analyses the carbon footprint of a single cataract surgery using phacoemulsification in Ávila Hospital. ISO standard 14064 was applied....
The carbon footprint of a single cataract surgery in Ávila Hospital was 86.62kg CO...
Collaboration between pharmaceuticals and ophthalmologists is important to improve the environmental impact of cataract surgery. Future research is needed to introduce changes that do not compromise p...
To review most recent studies and clinical trials regarding pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention of inflammation after the cataract surgery....
FLACS gave opportunity to evaluate inflammatory cytokines in the aqueous humour right after the laser procedure, which led to acknowledging the inflammation pathogenesis during the phacoemulsification...
Inflammation after the cataract surgery can be prevented, and these methods are one of the most essential topics with growing phacoemulsification rate. Topical NSAIDs are cost-effective not only for p...
