Filter by:The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of single injection peribulbar anaesthesia against the classic double injection technique. This was a double blind randomized controlled trial involving two groups of consenting, adult Nigerian subjects with operable age-related cataract. An anaesthetic nurse who allocated the subjects to the two groups administered all the injections. The same surgeon operated on all the subjects while the principal investigator and a research assistant measured the outcome variables. All others were blinded as to subject allocation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the visual quality and function of pseudophakic patients.
In this study, the investigators introduce a surgical procedure called "IOL-shell technique" in the purpose of reduce complications of surgeries for dense cataract, and report a prospective randomized controlled study aiming at assessing efficacy and safety of the IOL-shell technique, which showed that the new procedure offered a safer way for hard cataract surgery over the conventional phacoemulsification procedure without compromise in efficacy.
The fibrin sealants are prepared from fibrinogen, thrombin, and sometimes factor XIII that have been purified from human plasma. Tissucol Duo Quick (Baxter, Vienna, Austria) is a kind of fibrin sealants with popular use. It is a 2-component tissue adhesive that resembles natural fibrin formation. This glue has 2 components: fibrinogen (mixed with factor XIII and aprotinin) and thrombin-CaCl2 solution. When equal amounts of the 2 components are mixed, the monomers aggregate by cross-linking, resulting in a fibrin clot. It forms a elastic, whitish substance and provides strong adhesion to the tissue. Therefore, it is a good agent to seal small wounds or to replace the use of suture.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of bromfenac ophthalmic solution 0.09% for reducing postoperative inflammation in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) undergoing cataract surgery and receiving standard postoperative eye drops (dexamethasone 0.1% plus tobramycin 0.3% ophthalmic solution). DESIGN Two arms, parallel group, randomized, single center, prospective, phase IV clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS Sixty-two subjects with PEX and cataract will be sequentially assigned, according to a computer-generated randomization list (1:1), to bromfenac (n = 31) or not (n = 31). INTERVENTION Cataract surgery by means of phacoemulsification and implantation of posterior-chamber intraocular lens will be performed by two experienced ophthalmic surgeons. Standard Arm: only a standard antibiotic and steroid ophthalmic suspension will be given starting the day after the surgery for two weeks, dosed QID for the first week and BID for the second week (dexamethasone 0.1% and tobramycin 0.3% eye drops association). Experimental Arm: eyes will receive bromfenac BID for two weeks starting the day after surgery. Standard post-operative topical antibiotic and steroid will be also given concurrently, dosed QID for the first week and BID for the second week (dexamethasone 0.1% and tobramycin 0.3% eye drops association). Measurements will be carried out at baseline and after one day, 3 days, 1 week and 4 weeks from cataract extraction.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of OMS302 compared to phenylephrine when administered in irrigation solution during cataract extraction on intraoperative pupil diameter, acute postoperative pain, and safety in children birth through 3 years.
To determine the efficacy of Lenstatin™, an over-the-counter nutritional supplement, in inhibiting the progression of nuclear cataract in eyes after pars plana vitrectomy.
This study assesses the efficacy and safety of two concentrations of omaveloxolone (RTA 408) ophthalmic suspension for the prevention of corneal endothelial cell loss following cataract surgery.
Gabapentin pretreatment may reduce hyperalgesia occurring at the second surgery in serial, bilateral cataract surgery.
The purpose of the present study is to elucidate the spectrum of ocular flora and their antimicrobial susceptibility profiles in patients undergoing routine cataract surgery.
