Purpose: To compare effective phacoemulsification time (EFX) in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) versus traditional quick chop phacoemulsification (QCP) in senile nuclear cataracts with different densities focusing on soft and hard ones.
Patients And Methods: A prospective non-randomized comparative study was carried out in Al Watany Eye Hospital and Ain Shams University Hospital, Cairo, Egypt; 250 eyes with senile nuclear cataract (NC) were included and classified into two main groups, FLACS and QCP groups. Each of them was stratified according to nuclear density into three subgroups, subgroups I (Soft NC), II (Medium NC), and III (Hard NC).
To assess functional outcomes of optical low vision aids (LVAs) for pediatric visual impairment due to central nervous system (CNS) tumors. A prospective case study was conducted on 15 children with history of CNS tumors with mean age of 10.47±1.

The purpose of study was to evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal injection of 2-Methoxyestradiol (2-ME) nanoemulsion in regressing neovascularization of a ROP rat model.
Methods: A prospective comparative case - control animal study conducted on 56 eyes of 28 healthy new born Sprague Dawley male albino rat.
Aim: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of cellular photoablation using BCECF-AM [2', 7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein, acetoxymethyl ester mixed isomers] as a method to control postoperative fibrosis in subscleral trabeculectomy (SST) compared to mitomycin C (MMC) in a rabbit model.
Methods: A comparative prospective case-control animal study was conducted. Fourteen rabbits were subjected to SST with intraoperative use of wound modulating agents (MMC or BCECF-AM) of the right eye (study groups I and II respectively) and SST without use of intraoperative wound modulating agents for the left eye (control group II).

Article Synopsis
- In 2011, the Egyptian revolution led to a notable shift in the patterns of eye trauma cases, with a significant rise in street injuries and incidents linked to violence.
- The study analyzed ocular trauma cases from 2006 to 2011 at Ain Shams University Hospital, focusing on factors such as age, sex, occupation, and the nature of injuries, revealing that most cases involved young males.
- In 2011, 237 cases of eye trauma were recorded, with a strong correlation between the injuries and the sociopolitical climate, highlighting ocular trauma as a critical cause of visual impairment in the population.
