Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the impact of a new intracameral combination of mydriatics and anesthetic (ICMA) on cataract surgery outcomes at a hospital in France, comparing results before and after its implementation.
- A retrospective review of three patient groups showed that while visual outcomes and complications remained stable, the duration of surgery and patient turnover times significantly decreased after ICMA was introduced.
- The findings suggest that using ICMA as a standard procedure improves efficiency in cataract surgery without compromising patient safety or vision results.
Treatment of persistent ocular discomfort in patients with Cogan's epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD) is a challenge for ophthalmologists. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of a topical heparan sulfate mimetic polymer (HSMP) in reducing ocular discomfort in EBMD patients. This retrospective, noninterventional study included 22 consecutive patients in 3 tertiary ophthalmological units with spontaneous, recurrent, acute ocular pain, resistant to various topical lubricants.

Antiviral prophylaxis (AVP) may fail to prevent recurrence of HSK due to viral resistance, inadequate dosing, or poor patient compliance. In this prospective multicenter study, we enrolled immunocompetent patients with recurrent HSK despite AVP.

Design: Prospective, case-control study.
Participants: Thirty-three patients with a unilateral and relapsing herpes simplex keratitis (HSK group) that was quiescent during evaluation (no acute episode in the past 3 months) and 66 patients with no history of HSK (control group).
Background: Corneal hypoesthesia is the landmark of HSV and VZV keratitis and can lead to neurotrophic keratitis. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) derived technique, which offers possibilities to study axonal architecture. We aimed at assessing the potential impact of recurrent HSV or VZV-related keratitis on the axonal architecture of trigeminal nerves using DTI.

It results from a massive release of cholesterol crystals from widespread atherosclerotic disease. The main difference with atherosclerosis is the severity and the quantity of the embolic events that occur during the course of the disease, eventually leading to multivisceral failure and death.

Methods: Fifteen patients with a history of recurrent unilateral HSK and normal Snellen visual acuity (0 logMAR) were enrolled. Eyes with HSK (HSK group) were statistically compared with normal fellow eyes (Control group).
Purpose: To assess the impact of recurrent unilateral herpetic keratitis (HK) on the tear secretion of the unaffected fellow eye.
Design: Prospective, noninterventional study.
Participants And Controls: Thirty-five patients with a history of recurrent unilateral HK (clinically quiescent for at least 3 months) (HK group) and 35 patients who were age- and sex-matched with no history of corneal disease (control group).
