Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare two techniques for scleral fixation of intraocular lenses (IOL): the double-flanged polypropylene method and the Hoffman scleral pocket method.
- Involving 140 patients, the results showed that both techniques produced similar visual acuity outcomes, but the flange technique resulted in less myopic spherical equivalents and had a higher incidence of complications, such as elevated intraocular pressure and corneal edema.
- The flange technique may be a viable option for scleral IOL fixation due to its shorter learning curve and comparable surgical time, despite having more complications associated with it.
Purpose: To evaluate the association of different pre-operative parameters with surprise phacodonesis during cataract surgery among patients with pseudoexfoliation (PXF).
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective charts review of all PXF patients who underwent cataract surgery between the years 2013 and 2018. Pre-operative parameters (demographics, biometry, intraocular pressure (IOP), endothelial cell count, pupil size, cataract density, glaucoma status, cup to disc ratio, number of glaucoma medications, prior intra-vitreous injections, risk for intraoperative floppy iris syndrome) were compared between patients with and without surprise phacodonesis.
Wound-assisted air injection in Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep
June 2022
Background: Early postoperative graft detachment remains one of the most common complications of DSAEK.
Objectives: To describe a modification of a simple method to facilitate a firm AC, without a leak, during DSAEK.
Method: Ten consecutive DSAEK surgeries were reviewed.
Effect of Rho-associated kinase inhibitor on human corneal endothelial cell apoptosis.
J Cataract Refract Surg
April 2020
Purpose: To evaluate whether exposure to Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor will promote human-cultured corneal endothelial cells (CECs) survival in a commercial storage medium.
Setting: Edith Wolfson Medical Center, Holon, and Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel.
Design: Experimental study.
Purpose: To evaluate whether prophylactic exposure of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) to a selective Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitor will inhibit CEC apoptosis after phacoemulsification.
Setting: Laboratory evaluations at the Edith Wolfson Medical Center, Holon, Israel and the Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel-Hashomer, Ramat-Gan, Israel and the Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel-Hashomer, Ramat-Gan, Israel.
Design: Experimental study.
Background: Warm compresses are widely touted as an effective treatment for ocular surface disorders. Black tea compresses are a common household remedy, although there is no evidence in the medical literature proving their effect and their use may lead to harmful side effects.
Objectives: To describe a case in which the application of black tea to an eye with a corneal epithelial defect led to anterior stromal discoloration; evaluate the prevalence of hot tea compress use; and analyze, in vitro, the discoloring effect of tea compresses on a model of a porcine eye.
Rehabilitation time after simultaneous bilateral photorefractive keratectomy for low to moderate myopia.
J Cataract Refract Surg
January 2006
Purpose: To evaluate the visual acuity rehabilitation time after simultaneous bilateral photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) using a flying small spot laser.
Setting: Eye Tech Medical Laser, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Methods: In this prospective interventional nonrandomized clinical trial, 42 consecutive eyes (21 patients) with myopia ranging from -0.
Minimal astigmatism after sutureless planned extracapsular cataract extraction.
J Cataract Refract Surg
March 2002
Purpose: To evaluate astigmatism after mini-nuc extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) in which a chevron incision is enlarged to 6.0 to 7.0 mm for easier nucleus removal and to compare the results with those using a 5.
