Comparison of visual performance with an aspheric intraocular lens and a spherical intraocular lens.

Purpose: To compare the visual performance after implantation of the Akreos Adapt Advanced Optics aspheric intraocular lens (IOL) and the Sensar AR40e spherical acrylic IOL.

Setting: Eye Department, Southampton University Hospital, United Kingdom.

Design: Randomized masked single-center clinical trial.

Intraocular pressure outcome in primary 5FU phacotrabeculectomies compared with 5FU trabeculectomies.

Purpose: Combined surgery for glaucoma and cataract may not achieve as low intraocular pressure (IOP) as compared with trabeculectomy alone. The aim of this study was to assess the IOP control of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) phacotrabeculectomies compared with 5-fluorouracil trabeculectomies.

Methods: A retrospective, nonrandomized study of consecutive primary 5FU phacotrabeculectomies and primary 5FU trabeculectomies.

Cause-specific visual impairment and mortality: results from a population-based study of older people in the United Kingdom.

Objective: To assess the association between mortality and cause-specific visual impairment in older people.

Methods: Visual acuity and causes of visual impairment were collected in 13 569 participants 75 years and older participating in a randomized trial of health screening. Participants were followed up for mortality for a median of 6.

Needle revision of failing and failed trabeculectomy blebs with adjunctive 5-fluorouracil: survival analysis.

Purpose: To report the outcome of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-augmented bleb needling revision of failed and failing filtration blebs and to identify risk factors for failure, indicators for success, and any complications of the procedure.

Design: Prospective, observational, noncomparative, interventional case series with survival analysis.

Methods: The results of 101 bleb needling procedures augmented with subconjunctival 5-FU injection were determined after a minimum follow-up of 9 months.
