Cationic nanoemulsion vs. 0.15% sodium hyaluronate artificial tears in the healing process following modern surface keratorefractive surgery.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of artificial tears containing either cationic nanoemulsion (CCN) or sodium hyaluronate artificial tears (SH) on early postoperative healing after modern surface refractive surgery.

Materials And Methods: In this multicenter, prospective, double-masked, parallel-group (1:1), comparative study, 129 patients (n = 255 eyes) were randomized to receive CCN (n = 128) or SH (n = 127) as an adjuvant treatment after either transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (transPRK) or Epi-Bowman keratectomy (EBK). The patients' perspectives were gathered using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, and uncorrected (UCVA), and corrected (BCVA) visual acuity were assessed before and one week and one month after the procedure.

[Visual and anatomical outcomes of three intravitreal aflibercept injections in eyes with neovascular form of age-related macular degeneration].

Purpose: To evaluate results of treatment of choroidal neovascularization due to age-related macular degeneration with aflibercept in a group of patients representative for Polish population.

Material And Methods: Three intravitreal injections of 2.0 mg of aflibercept were administrated to 48 eyes with active choroidal neovascularization at the four week intervals.

[Uveal effusion syndrome complicated by anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and cystoid macular edema].

The current paper presents a case of unique presentation of idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome. The 28 years old patient with combined bilateral choroidal and retinal detachment, recurrent in the left eye, underwent surgical procedures. He was treated with lamellar sclerectomy under the scleral flap in both eyes and another sclerectomy in the left eye later on.

[Refractive changes in children with pseudophakia].

Purpose: To report refractive changes after cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation in children.

Material And Methods: 104 patients (123 eyes) operated between January 1987 and December 1997 with congenital or traumatic cataract. Refractive power in both operated and non operated eyes, were measured.

[Axial length and corneal curvature in pseudophakia in children].

Purpose: To assess changes in axial length, corneal curvature in pseudophakia in children.

Material And Methods: 104 patients (123 eyes) operated between January 1987 and December 1997 with congenital or traumatic cataract. Serial measurements were made of axial length and corneal curvature.
