Cataract surgery is a safe, effective and common elective procedure in Australia but access is inequitable. True waiting times for cataract care are undisclosed or inconsistently reported by governmen...
To assess the performance of a deep learning (DL) algorithm for evaluating and supervising cataract extraction using phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation based on cataract surg...
DeepSurgery was trained using 186 standard CS videos to recognize 12 CS steps and was validated in two datasets that contained 50 and 21 CS videos, respectively. A supervision test including 50 CS vid...
DeepSurgery achieved stable performance for all 12 recognition steps, including the duration between two pairs of adjacent steps in internal validation with an ACC of 95.06% and external validations w...
DeepSurgery represents a potential approach to provide a real-time supervision and an objective surgical evaluation system for routine CS and to improve surgical outcomes....
To evaluate factors influencing best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in paediatric patients with bilateral congenital cataracts (CC) after cataract extraction and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, a...
This retrospective study followed 194 paediatric patients with bilateral CC from January 2008 to December 2021. The endpoint event was defined as a final BCVA < 0.22 Log MAR at the last follow-up, whi...
A prognostic model for long-term visual acuity in bilateral CC after surgical treatment was established as follows: ln h(t) = -0.009 × "age at cataract extraction" - 0.015 × "age at IOL implantation" ...
This long-term visual acuity prognostic model demonstrates adequate performance for individualized prediction and assists in clinical decision-making. The risk stratification index guides optimal timi...
To analyze the hotspots and trends in artificial intelligence (AI) research in the field of cataracts....
The Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science Core Collection was used to collect the research literature related to AI in the field of cataracts, which was analyzed for valuable informati...
A total of 222 relevant research articles from 41 countries were selected. Since 2019, the number of related articles has increased significantly every year. China (n = 82, 24.92%), the United States ...
This study revealed the hot spots and potential trends of AI in terms of cataract diagnosis and intraocular lens power calculation. AI will become more prevalent in the field of ophthalmology in the f...
To describe the preferred cataract surgery practices among Malaysian ophthalmologists and medical officers in comparison with the recommended practices....
An online questionnaire was sent out in April 2021, to Malaysian Ophthalmologists and medical officers who perform cataract surgeries. The questions were focused on the preferred cataract surgery prac...
A total of 173 participants responded to the online questionnaire. 55% of the participants were within 31-40 years of age. 56.1% preferred peristaltic pump over venturi system. 91.3% of participants p...
This survey provides some insight into the current practices among Malaysian ophthalmologists. Most of the practices are in line with international guidelines for preventing postoperative endophthalmi...
Diabetic macular edema (DME) causes visual impairment in diabetic retinopathy (DR). Diabetes mellitus is a global epidemic and diabetic individuals are at risk of developing DR. Approximately 1 in 10 ...
With the increasing use of technology and an emerging need for virtual clinical reviews, particularly following the recent pandemic, it is essential to evaluate the safety of these clinical tools....
This retrospective study aims to determine the safety of virtual follow-up day one after cataract surgery....
All patients who underwent cataract surgery at Auckland District Health Board, New Zealand (Aotearoa), and were triaged for telephone review the day after surgery, from 5...
Nine hundred and eighty-seven cataract surgeries were triaged for virtual follow-up over the retrospective study period. Nine hundred and eighty-five cases in 928 patients met the inclusion criteria. ...
This is the largest study of a virtual day one post-operative follow-up following cataract surgery, and demonstrates that, in carefully selected subjects, virtual follow-up is a safe alternative to a ...
Cataract and glaucoma are two of the most common ocular comorbidities. Cataract surgery has been shown to influence intra-ocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma; nevertheless, the extent of t...
A systematic review was performed, including six different RCTs that studied the net effect of cataract surgery on IOP. Eligibility criteria required a full washout from hypotensive therapy, allowing ...
Included studies revealed a consistent reduction on IOP occurring after surgery, varying between 4.1 and 8.5 mmHg depending on the RCT. There was also a decrease in the number of glaucoma medications,...
Although the role of cataract surgery in the algorithm of glaucoma treatment remains to be established, this review highlights a consistent decrease on IOP following surgery and a reduced dependency o...
To evaluate the clinical characteristics, surgical approach and visual results in pediatric traumatic cataract....
Data of pediatric and adult traumatic cataract patients were retrospectively analyzed. Age, gender, cause and zone of trauma, additional clinical findings, initial and final visual acuity (VA) were an...
The mean age of 18 patients in the pediatric group was 9.4(SD 5.7); 18 patients in the adult group was 47.8(16.2) years. There was a male predominance in both groups (12/16 male, respectively). The mo...
Traumatic cataract is a major cause of visual loss in children. Lower OTS and presence of additional surgery were the prognostic factors for poor final VA in the pediatric cases. Optimal timing and ac...
Several studies have demonstrated that central corneal thickness (CCT) increases in pediatric eyes after cataract extraction with or without intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. This thickening has be...
