Clinical Comparison of the Performance of Two Marketed Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Devices (OVDs): The Bacterially Derived Healon PRO OVD and Animal-Derived Healon OVD.

This clinical investigation compared the clinical performance of two marketed ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVDs): the bacterially derived Healon PRO OVD (test) and the animal-derived Healon OVD (control) under normal use conditions during cataract removal and lens implantation. This prospective, multicenter, randomized, parallel, participant/evaluator masked, postmarket investigation enrolled 139 subjects (170 eyes), 116 (143 eyes) of which were treated (73 test; 70 control group). Both test and control OVDs were used, at a minimum, to inflate the anterior chamber and protect the endothelium prior to cataract extraction according to the standard procedure.

Reproducibility and reliability of retinal and optic disc measurements obtained with swept-source optical coherence tomography in a healthy population.

Purpose: To analyze the reproducibility of macular and peripapillary thickness measurements, and optic nerve morphometric data obtained with Triton Optical coherence tomography (OCT) in a healthy population.

Study Design: Observational cross sectional study.

Material And Methods: A total of 108 eyes underwent evaluation using the Triton Swept Source-OCT.

Ability of swept source OCT to detect retinal changes in patients with bipolar disorder.

Purpose: To evaluate the ability of swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) to detect retinal changes in patients with bipolar disorder (BD).

Methods: Twenty-three patients with BD and 23 controls underwent retinal evaluation using SS deep range imaging (DRI) Triton OCT. Full retinal thickness, the ganglion cell layer (GCL), the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and choroidal thickness were evaluated with automated segmentation software.

Early Changes in Visual Quality and Corneal Structure after DMEK: Does DMEK Approach Optical Quality of a Healthy Cornea?

Purpose: To evaluate early changes in visual function and visual quality parameters after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and to compare the outcomes with healthy controls.

Methods: Thirteen patients who underwent DMEK and 14 controls were evaluated. All subjects underwent visual function evaluation, including visual acuity under photopic and mesopic lighting conditions and contrast sensitivity (CSV) tests CSV 1000 and Pelli-Robson.

VISUAL FUNCTION AND RETINAL CHANGES IN PATIENTS WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER.

Purpose: To evaluate visual and retinal changes in patients with bipolar disorder. To analyze the correlation between structural changes and visual function parameters.

Methods: Thirty patients with bipolar disorder and 80 healthy controls underwent visual function evaluation with Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study charts at 100%, 2.

Evaluation of Early Graft Detachment After Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Using New Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography.

Purpose: To evaluate the ability of Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) in detecting early endothelial graft detachment after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and to determine the possible causes of graft detachment using 2 different protocols for anterior segment (AS) imaging.

Methods: Eight eyes from 8 consecutive DMEK surgeries were evaluated. High-resolution images were captured with SS-OCT using 2 different radial protocols for AS imaging (16- and 6-mm radial protocols).
