Background: Despite a significant body of research, no consistency on postoperative foveal thickness as measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT), can be recorded. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effect of uncomplicated cataract surgery in the thickness of the retina in the foveal area during the early postoperative period.
Methods: In a prospective study, 79 eyes were assessed by OCT, on day 1, and weeks 2 and 4 after uncomplicated phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in the Athens University Clinic.

Objective: To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcome in eyes with indocyanine green (ICG)-assisted idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multifocal electroretinogram (MFERG).
Design: Prospective, interventional, noncomparative case series.
Methods: Twenty eyes of 20 patients with idiopathic ERM underwent pars plana vitrectomy and ICG-assisted ERM and internal limiting membrane (ILM) removal.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the long-term effects of inserting a capsular tension ring (CTR) in patients with large traumatic zonular dialysis who underwent cataract surgery.
- A total of 17 eyes were analyzed over an average follow-up of 25.9 months, with no instances of capsule collapse and generally improved visual acuity, except in one case due to other eye issues.
- The findings suggest that using a CTR is a safe and effective method to prevent intraocular lens decentration in these complicated cataract cases.
Aims: To compare and correlate retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurements obtained by scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) with defects detected by short-wavelength automatic perimetry (SWAP) in eyes with ocular hypertension (OHT).
Methods: SLP and SWAP were performed in 96 eyes of 48 consecutive patients with OHT.
Results: Twenty-five eyes (26%) had SWAP visual field defects.
Purpose: There is evidence that ocular blood flow plays a critical role in the clinical course of glaucoma. Any reduction in ocular blood flow due to topical antiglaucoma treatment should therefore be avoided. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term effect of local latanoprost application on ocular hemodynamics.
