Intracameral phenylephrine and ketorolac during cataract surgery to maintain intraoperative mydriasis and reduce postoperative ocular pain: Integrated results from 2 pivotal phase 3 studies.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of phenylephrine 1.0%-ketorolac 0.3% (Omidria) for maintenance of mydriasis during, and reduction of ocular pain after, cataract surgery.

Implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses using a magnification strategy in cataractous eyes with age-related macular degeneration.

Purpose: To examine visual function after targeting -2.0 diopter (D) spherical equivalent (SE) when implanting a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) in eyes with cataract and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Setting: Three private practices.

Safety and efficacy of bromfenac ophthalmic solution (Bromday) dosed once daily for postoperative ocular inflammation and pain.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and ocular safety of bromfenac ophthalmic solution (bromfenac) 0.09% dosed once daily for the treatment of ocular inflammation and pain after cataract surgery with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.

Design: Randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled or active-controlled, multicenter, clinical trials.

Clinical outcomes of complex and uncomplicated cataractous eyes after lens replacement with the AcrySof toric IOL.

Purpose: to compare outcomes for uncomplicated versus complex eyes after implantation of AcrySof toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) (Alcon Laboratories Inc) in a retrospective series of cataractous astigmatic eyes.

Methods: toric IOLs were implanted in 230 eyes of 162 adult patients. Approximately half (52%, n=120) the eyes had no complications (uncomplicated group).

Etiology, prevalence, and treatment of dry eye disease.

Purpose: This review article examines the prevalence, etiology, and current therapies of dry eye disease, with special focus on postmenopausal women.

Method: A systematic literature search utilizing MEDLINE was conducted to identify peer-reviewed articles related to dry eye published prior to September 2008. The terms "dry eye" and "women" were searched in combination with one or more of the following words or phrases: prevalence, postmenopausal, etiology, risk factors, therapy, medications, surgery, tear film, and quality of life.

A clinical comparison of two different prednisolone acetate formulations in patients undergoing cataract surgery.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of two topical steroid prednisolone preparations (Econopred Plus 1%, prednisolone acetate 1%: EPP; Pred Fortedagger 1%, prednisolone acetate 1%: PF) in reducing postoperative inflammation in cataract patients.

Methods: This was a 4 week, randomized, parallel-group, single-center, active-controlled study. One group of patients received postoperative topical EPP while the other group received postoperative topical PF.

Analysis of elements of interlenticular opacification.

Purpose: To report the histopathologic and ultrastructural features of three cases of interlenticular opacification (ILO) between piggyback intraocular lenses.

Design: Interventional case series with clinicopathologic correlation.

Methods: Three pairs of acrylic piggyback lenses were explanted due to decrease in visual acuity associated with ILO.
