Risk factors affecting visual outcomes following dropped nucleus after cataract surgery.

Background/ Aims: To describe the visual outcomes in eyes with dropped nucleus during phacoemulsification surgery.

Setting: Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC).

Design: Retrospective chart review of prospectively reported cases of dropped nucleus.

Comparison of Efficacy of Combined Phacoemulsification and iStent Inject versus Combined Phacoemulsification and Hydrus Microstent.

Aim: This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of combined phacoemulsification with iStent inject (Phaco-iStent) and Hydrus microstent (Phaco-Hydrus).

Methods: This was a retrospective comparative study of patients who underwent Phaco-iStent from April 2019 to August 2020 and Phaco-Hydrus from August 2019 to December 2020 at a tertiary eye centre in Singapore. Sixty-nine Phaco-iStent eyes and 49 Phaco-Hydrus eyes were included in this study.

Expression, secretion and functional characterization of three laccases in .

Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) are a group of molecules that can influence hormonal balance, causing disturbance of the reproductive system and other health problems. Despite the efforts to eliminate EDC in the environment, all current approaches are inefficient and expensive. In previous research, studies revealed that laccase-producing microorganisms may be a potential candidate for EDC degradation, as laccases have been found to be able to degrade many kinds of EDCs effectively and steadily.

Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of XEN45 Implant Versus Trabeculectomy in Asian Eyes.

Prcis: Combined phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy is able to achieve greater reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP), higher rates of complete surgical success and fewer postoperative manipulations and visits compared with combined phacoemulsification and Xen implantation in glaucomatous eyes.

Purpose: Our study aims to compare and understand the differences between the efficacy and safety of XEN45 implantation and trabeculectomy in Asian eyes with glaucoma.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center, comparative study of consecutive patients who underwent combined phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy (Phaco-Trab) from January 2013 to June 2014 and combined phacoemulsification and XEN45 implantation (Phaco-Xen) from May 2017 to September 2018 in a tertiary Ophthalmology center in Singapore.

12-Month Outcomes of Combined Phacoemulsification and iStent Inject in Asian Eyes with Normal Tension Glaucoma: A Single-Centre Experience.

Purpose: To evaluate efficacy and safety of the iStent inject combined with phacoemulsification in Asian eyes with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) up to 12 months after surgery.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Methods: Retrospective case series of eyes undergoing surgery from April 2017 to August 2019.

Efficacy of the XEN gel stent on intraocular pressure lowering in East Asian eyes.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of XEN45 gel stent (Allergan plc, Dublin, Ireland) in East Asian patients with glaucoma.

Methods: A retrospective study of consecutive XEN45 gel stent implantation surgeries with or without concurrent cataract surgery from May 2017 to August 2018 was performed in a single institution. The clinical charts of all cases were reviewed to examine the safety and efficacy of the implant.
