Purpose: Validate a novel approach for assessing residual astigmatism's impact on visual acuity in pseudophakic patients using defocus curves and spherical equivalent compensation.
Materials And Methods: Thirteen patients over 40 with cataracts and normal ophthalmological examinations were enrolled in a prospective, non-randomized cohort study. The defocus curve method was employed, wherein visual acuity was measured with spherical lenses ranging from -2.
Purpose: To evaluate the performance of optimized parameters of femtosecond laser for cataract surgery corneal incisions regarding opening, patency and surgically induced astigmatism (SIA).
Patients And Methods: Patients scheduled for femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery between May 2018 and December 2018 were enrolled. Inclusion criteria were a healthy preoperative cornea and uneventful FLACS.
Objective: To implement a method to train residents in the performance of phacoemulsification surgery, with the steps completed in reverse chronological order and with the easiest step being undertaken first.
Methods And Analysis: We created a method for training ophthalmology residents in which we taught phacoemulsification surgery in a series of steps learnt in reverse order. Each resident advanced through the teaching modules only after being approved in the final step and then progressed to the complete performance of surgeries.
Introduction: This retrospective consecutive case series assessed 12-month effectiveness and safety of iStent or iStent inject trabecular micro-bypass implants with cataract surgery in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) in a real-world clinical setting.
Methods: Effectiveness outcomes consisted of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction; glaucoma medication reduction; proportions of eyes achieving IOP < 18, < 15, or < 12 mmHg; and proportional analysis of medication usage. Safety outcomes included adverse events, secondary surgeries, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
Introduction: In this real-world, retrospective, comparative study we evaluated 6-month performance and safety in consecutive eyes following implantation of the iStent® or iStent inject® trabecular micro-bypass device with concomitant cataract surgery.
Methods: Performance outcomes included intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction; glaucoma medication reduction; proportions of eyes achieving an IOP of < 18, < 16, < 14, or < 12 mmHg; and proportions of eyes on 0, 1, 2, or ≥ 3 medications. Safety outcomes included adverse events, secondary surgeries, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of pure honey and 20% autologous serum and BSS in corneal epithelial healing in rabbits after 48 hours.
Methods: All solutions were applied after an epithelial removal of 13-millimeters diameter area. Areas of epithelial healing were studied at 12, 24 and 48 hours.
