Choroidal Thickness Change in Patients With Diabetic Macular Edema.

Background And Objective: To evaluate subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in diabetic macular edema (DME) and its relationships.

Patients And Methods: One hundred and six eyes were included in this prospective, nonrandomized case control study. They were divided into 37 cases of healthy, normal subjects and 69 cases of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) with DME.

OUTER RETINAL LAYER THICKNESS AS GOOD VISUAL PREDICTOR IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETIC MACULAR EDEMA.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between outer retinal layer (ORL) thickness in diabetic macular edema to visual acuity (VA).

Methods: Ninety-five eyes were included in this prospective nonrandomized case-control study. They divided into 30 cases of healthy normal subjects and 65 cases of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with diabetic macular edema.

Effect of Limbal Relaxing Incisions on Corneal Aberrations.

Purpose: To study the effect of limbal relaxing incisions on corneal aberrations after phacoemulsification with aspheric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Methods: Forty-five eyes underwent microincision cataract surgery with on-axis phacoemulsification incision. These eyes were divided into two groups: limbal relaxing incision group (23 eyes) and control group (22 eyes).

Effect of biaxial versus coaxial microincision cataract surgery on optical quality of the cornea.

Context: Visual function is determined by a combination of the cornea, which has a larger effect and internal aberrations generated by the intraocular lens and those induced by the surgery. These corneal refractive changes are related to the location and size of the corneal incision. The smaller the incision, the lower the aberrations and the better the optical quality.
