Objective: To evaluate the effect of ketorolac-soaked contact lenses (CLs) on postoperative pain after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and their potential side effects including conjunctival hyperaemia and delayed epithelial healing.
Methods: This is a prospective, randomised, double-blind, contralateral eye study. A total of 310 eyes of 155 patients who underwent PRK in both eyes were included in the study.
Background: The main complication of primary pterygium surgery is the recurrence of the pterygium. In the present study, we aimed to compare a classical technique and facilitated tenon-free conjunctival autograft preparation and a limited tenon removal technique in pterygium surgery in terms of recurrence rate, complications, and operation duration.
Material And Methods: This is a retrospective, comparative, observational study.
Purpose: In the present clinical study, it was aimed to investigate the possible effects of Trypan blue (TB) use on the corneal endothelium during cataract surgery in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) during a three-month follow-up period using the contralateral eye control design.
Methods: This prospective, randomised controlled, individual cohort study included 92 eyes of 46 patients with bilateral PEX and cataracts. While 1% TB was applied to one eye of the patients before capsulorhexis (study group), it was not applied to the other eye (control group).
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical findings and courses of five patients who developed toxic anterior-segment syndrome (TASS) after cataract surgery and investigate the cause.
Materials And Methods: In May 2010, on the same day, ten patients were operated on by the same surgeon. Five of these patients developed TASS postoperatively.
