Influence of capsular tension ring on posterior capsule opacification in myopic eyes.

Purpose: To determine the effect of a capsular tension ring (CTR) implantation in preventing posterior capsular opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery in patients with high myopia.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective single-surgeon standardized-surgical-procedure fellow-eye comparison trial, 34 patients with high myopia had phacoemulsification surgery. Although one eye received an acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) and CTR, other eye received only an IOL as control.

Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness analysis in suspected malingerers with optic disc temporal pallor.

Purpose: To investigate the value of temporal retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL(temporal)) thickness in the prediction of malingering.

Materials And Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on 33 military conscripts with optic disc temporal pallor (ODTP) and 33 age-and sex-matched healthy controls. Initial visual acuity (VA(i)) and visual acuity after simulation examination techniques (VA(aset)) were assessed.
