J Ophthalmol
June 2021
Department of Ophthalmology, Rabin Medical Center, Petach Tikva, Israel.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find prognostic factors associated with low visual acuity in patients experiencing vitreous loss during cataract surgery.
Methods: A retrospective, noncomparative, interventional, case study of patients experiencing vitreous loss during cataract surgery. Data collected included demographics, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), axial length (AL), presence of ocular comorbidity affecting central vision, timing of intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, position of the implanted lens, and the presence of corneal sutures.
Early isolated optic neuropathy caused by cyclosporine.
Int Ophthalmol
April 2019
Department of Ophthalmology, Rambam Health Care Campus Affiliated with the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the early effects of cyclosporine on the optic nerve for the first time, involving 192 eyes from 98 patients.
- Results showed that older age (over 46 years) was significantly linked to optic neuropathy in patients taking cyclosporine, while a longer treatment duration had a non-significant correlation.
- The authors recommend including optic nerve function tests, like visual evoked potential (VEP), in the follow-up care for patients on cyclosporine to monitor potential issues.
