Objective: The aim of this article is to study the effect of unilateral congenital cataract surgery on ocular growth and corneal flattening.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 59 patients operated on due to a unilateral congenital cataract. The median age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was 17 months (interquartile range, 5-39 months).
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of various surgical procedures in the management of posterior capsule and anterior vitreous on the prevention of visual axis opacification.
Subjects, Material And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 120 eyes operated for unilateral congenital cataracts, with a median age at the time of cataract surgery of 21 months (interquartile range, 6-52 months). The eyes were divided into 3 groups: group 1 (eyes with intact posterior capsule, n=39), group 2 (eyes with posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, n=38), group 3 (eyes with posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and anterior vitrectomy, n=43).
Purpose: To evaluate the long-term effects on corneal endothelium after pediatric cataract surgery.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 58 eyes operated for unilateral pediatric cataract with a mean age at the time of cataract surgery of 38.2 ± 41.
Purpose: To determine whether an intravitreal bevacizumab injection after phacoemulsification can improve cataract surgery visual outcomes in patients with diabetic macular edema by acting on the degree of edema.
Setting: Fundación Oftalmológica del Mediterráneo, Valencia, Spain.
Methods: We selected 26 consecutive diabetic patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy and macular edema who were to undergo cataract surgery, and we divided them into two randomized groups to be studied prospectively.
Purpose: An analysis is made of a serious late complication (opacification) of different models of hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Methods: Seven lenses were explanted from seven patients treated for cataracts with phacoemulsification and implantation of different types of hydrophilic acrylic IOLs (five SC60B-OUV from MDR, one Aquasense from OII, and one H60M Hydroview lens from Bausch & Lomb) who developed important vision impairment in the late postoperative period (1 to 3 years) due to lens opacification. The explanted lenses were subjected to exhaustive study involving photographic analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.
