Article Synopsis
- Cataract surgery with an intraocular lens implant is the most common surgical procedure globally, and the success relies heavily on accurately calculating the lens's dioptric power.
- This study aims to compare the dioptric power calculation in cataract patients with and without pupil dilation by analyzing various factors like age, gender, and biometry.
- The results showed no significant differences in dioptric power calculations between the two groups, indicating that pupil dilation does not significantly impact the accuracy of these calculations.
Objective: Over a 70-month period, 100 consecutive Mexican mestizo individuals with a clinical marker associated with a primary hypercoagulable state were studied.
Methods: We prospectively assessed: the sticky platelet syndrome (SPS), the activated protein C resistance (aPCR) phenotype, coagulation protein C activity and antigen, coagulation protein S, antithrombin III, plasminogen, IgG and IgM isotypes of antiphospholipid antibodies, homocysteine levels, the factor V gene Leiden, Cambridge, Hong Kong, and Liverpool mutations, the 677 C-->T mutation in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolatereductase (MTHFR), and the G20210A polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region of the prothrombin gene.
Results: Of the 100 consecutive patients prospectively accrued in the study, only 29% were males.
