Objective: To study the effect of cataract on electroretinographic responses.
Material And Method: Thirty subjects with dense cataracts underwent electroretinogram (ERG) recordings before and after cataract surgery, using RETIport32 (Roland Instruments, Germany). The degree of cataract was classified according to the Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III). No significant eye diseases were noted in all subjects. Following the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV), scotopic, mesopic, photopic, oscillatorypotentials and 30 Hz flicker ERG responses were recorded. The mean amplitudes of a- and b-waves, pre and post-cataract surgery were analyzed using the paired t-test.
Results: Following cataract surgery, most of the ERG responses were slightly increased but the difference was not statistically significant. However, the mesopic b-wave amplitude was decreased significantly after cataract surgery.
Conclusion: Most of the ERG waves after cataract surgery were slightly higher than pre-operative waves, but the differences were not statistically significant. The ERG remains a reliable guide in evaluation of the visual prognosis before cataract surgery.

In this review, we explore the transformative role of Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM) in veterinary ophthalmology, focusing on its utility in evaluating the iridocorneal angle and ciliary body in dogs. We begin by outlining UBM's foundational principles, providing a holistic understanding of its operational mechanics. This is followed by an exploration of the techniques and considerations for optimal UBM imaging, including the use of topical anesthesia, probe positioning, and maintaining a controlled measurement environment.

Background: The development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is influenced by risk factors that contribute to inflammatory processes, cellular stress responses, and a dysregulation of the complement system. Given the incomplete understanding of the pathogenesis of AMD and the necessity for novel therapeutics, biomarker studies investigating aqueous humour from the anterior chamber of the eye serve as a valuable tool. This pilot study aimed to assess inflammatory mediators and complement components in aqueous humour of non-exudative AMD patients in comparison with a control group.

Background: This study evaluated the agreement of the ocular parameters obtained with the two optical biometers, the IOLMaster 700 and the Galilei G6 Lens Professional.
Patients And Methods: A comparative prospective study was conducted on 159 eyes of 91 adult patients using the IOLMaster 700 and Galilei G6 devices by a single examiner. Agreement between ocular biometric parameters: white-to-white (WTW) distance, keratometry (flat (K1) and steep (K2), mean (Km)) of anterior, posterior, and total corneal surfaces, central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and axial length (AL) were assessed using Bland-Altman analysis.
