There were 3 males and 3 females, ages 39-73 years (average 52.5 years), two of them were implanted with toric lenses. In all eyes hydrodissection was successfully performed and the lens material was ...
Hydrodissection can be safely performed in combination (but not exclusively) with FLACS, in eyes with posterior polar cataract with no evidence of a preexisting posterior capsule rent. Hydrodissection...
Unilateral congenital cataracts present multiple barriers in the development of vision and stereoacuity despite the improved visual optics that early surgery, contact lenses and intraocular lenses (IO...
To compare outcomes of 2 surgical techniques in children undergoing cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation: optic capture of IOL without anterior vitrectomy (AV) or in-the-bag IOL w...
Prospective randomized controlled trial....
Patients were randomized to 2 groups: optic capture without AV (group 1) or in-the-bag implantation with AV (group 2). The following variables were compared: visual axis opacification (VAO), inflammat...
Fifty-one eyes of 37 children were investigated with a mean follow-up of 20.1±8.5 months. Group 1 and group 2 had mean ages of 59.2±32.6 and 46.5±21.9 months, respectively (P = .104). Three eyes in gr...
The optic capture method was similar to the conventional technique in the quantitative evaluation of comprehensive data such as visual axis opacification, inflammatory sequelae, refractive outcomes, a...
Intraocular visualization in cataract surgery is currently achieved using the ophthalmic surgical microscope (OSM). Three-dimensional (3D) heads-up display is a burgeoning intraocular visualization te...
To analyze ocular biometric changes following unilateral cataract surgery in children....
A total of 57 children aged under 13 years who underwent unilateral cataract surgery were analyzed. Groups were classified according to their age at surgery: group I (age <3), II (3≤ age <6), III (6≤ ...
During 7.81 ± 4.39 years, the overall myopic shift (D) and the rate of myopic shift (D/year) were significantly higher at -3.25 ± 3.21 D and -0.45 ± 0.44 D/year in the pseudophakic eyes than -1.78 ± 2...
Following unilateral cataract surgery, a significant postoperative myopic shift was noticed in the pseudophakic eyes compared to the fellow phakic eyes in groups under 6 years old. Postoperative myopi...
Surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) has been widely discussed in the literature as the change in corneal astigmatism resulting from corneal incision. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ...
The analysis was based on a dataset of 122 eyes of 122 patients with preoperative and one month postoperative measurements performed with the IOLMaster 700 biometer from 1 clinical center and a standa...
The mean corneal power of total keratometry reduced slightly after cataract surgery (-0.05 dpt), resulting mostly from a decrease in back surface power (-0.04 dpt). The astigmatism vector component C...
Cataract surgery locally flattens the cornea in the incision meridian. This flattening shows a large individual variation and therefore a poor predictability. Our study indicates that SIA in modern ca...
Recent national data suggests that less than 0.5% of NHS cataract patients undergo immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS). Since ISBCS improves service efficiency, increasing its prac...
Patients at cataract clinics across three NHS hospital sites were recruited to complete an investigator-led structured questionnaire. Open-ended and closed-ended questions were used to assess awarenes...
Questionnaires were completed by 183 patients. Mean participant age was 70.5 (9.9) years and 58% were female. Forty-three percent were aware of ISBCS, chiefly via clinic staff. Just over a third would...
Our study indicates that significantly more NHS patients would be willing to undergo ISBCS if given the choice. The reluctance of surgeons to recommend ISBCS and patient misunderstandings regarding th...
Cataract is a leading cause of global blindness, affecting around 33% of blind individuals worldwide. It significantly impacts individuals' well-being, independence, and quality of life, posing a subs...
This study utilises data from the Longitudinal Ageing Study of India (LASI) conducted in 2017-18, that covered, 73,396 individuals aged 45 and above. Logistic regression, univariate, and bivariate ana...
The prevalence of cataract among older adults in India was 14.25%, with higher rates among females and the older adult. Socioeconomic disparities werelarge, with lower prevalence among those with high...
Cataract remains a significant public health concern in India, particularly among older adults. The study highlights the importance of addressing socioeconomic disparities in cataract treatment access...
Cataract, glaucoma, and glaucoma suspect patients report differing visual symptoms. Asking patients about their visual symptoms may provide useful diagnostic information and inform decision-making in ...
To compare visual symptoms in glaucoma, glaucoma suspect (controls), and cataract patients....
Glaucoma, cataract, and glaucoma suspect patients at Wilmer Eye Institute responded to a questionnaire rating the frequency and severity of 28 symptoms. Univariate and multivariable logistic regressio...
In all, 257 patients (mean age: 67.4 ± 13.4 y; 57.2% female; 41.2% employed), including 79 glaucoma, 84 cataract, and 94 glaucoma suspect patients, participated. Compared with glaucoma suspects, glauc...
Visual symptoms distinguish disease state to a moderate degree in glaucoma, cataract, and glaucoma suspect patients. Asking about visual symptoms may serve as a useful diagnostic adjunct and inform de...
Evaluation for systemic diagnosis is an important part of pediatric cataract management. While there are reports on associated systemic and ocular associations in children with infantile cataracts, re...
Retrospective chart review of consecutive patients undergoing cataract surgery at a pediatric tertiary referral center during 30-year period was performed. Associated systemic and ocular associations ...
Seven-hundred twenty-seven patients (1135 eyes) were included for analysis: 408 (56%) with bilateral and 319 (44%) with unilateral cataract. An identifiable cause for cataract was identified in 66% (2...
