Cataract Surgery in High Hyperopia.

Background: Although cataract surgery is a well-established and standardised procedure, it can be demanding and associated with higher complication rates in high hyperopia. We present clinical data for highly hyperopic patients who underwent cataract surgery over a 12-year period (2005 - 2016) and at a single centre.

Patients And Methods: Out of a total of 11 434 cataract operations, 41 highly hyperopic eyes (SN60AT ≥ 31 dpt) were included for analysis.

The prognostic value of retinal vessel analysis in primary open-angle glaucoma.

Purpose: To analyse a prognostic value of initial retinal vessel flicker response for the 3-year development of functional (visual field) and morphological (nerve fibre layer thickness) damage progression in primary open-angle glaucoma patients.

Patients And Methods: Initially, 70 patients were recruited, and flicker response was measured by standardized procedure with the retinal vessel analyser (RVA). Ocular coherence tomography of retinal nerve fibre layer (OCT RNFL) and a visual field testing were performed at beginning and every 6 months for 3 years; 56 patients completed the study.
