Bilateral cataract surgery improves neurologic brake reaction time and stopping distance in elderly drivers.

Aims: To determine brake reaction times before and after bilateral cataract surgery in elderly drivers.

Methods: Sixty-four patients were evaluated on the day of and 4 weeks after bilateral cataract surgery. Forty-three healthy individuals with a valid driving licence served as the control group.

Ultra-wide-field imaging of choroidal melanoma before and after proton beam radiation therapy.

Objective: To evaluate the imaging characteristics of choroidal melanoma before and after proton beam radiotherapy via Optos ultra-wide-field scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.

Methods: Retrospective, descriptive study of choroidal melanoma patients treated with proton beam radiotherapy. All patients underwent full clinical evaluation, including best-corrected visual acuity, ultrasound examination and ultra-wide-field scanning laser ophthalmoscopy imaging in the pseudo-colour (red and green channel) as well as auto-fluorescence mode.
