Filter by:This study aims to recruit patients of the Glaucoma Investigative and Research Unit (GIRU) of Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital (RVEEH) with mild to moderate glaucoma who are due to undergo cataract surgery and randomise each to either cataract surgery or combined cataract surgery with iStent Inject® insertion. Only patients who meet the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be recruited. The outcomes measures of the study will be a comparison of: 1) extent of IOP reduction; 2) reduction in number of topical glaucoma medications; 3) patient treatment satisfaction - between the two treatment groups.
This study is the long term analysis of two types of FSL 3-plane corneal wound profiles, namely CT1 and CT2 obtained after a FSL cataract surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the AcrySof® IQ PanOptix™ Intraocular Lens (IOL) Model TFNT00 when implanted to replace the natural lens following cataract removal.
In July 2016, the FDA approved an extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOL (Tecnis Symfony, Abbott Medical Optics) helping to improve the sharpness of vision at near, intermediate and far distances reducing the need of glasses after cataract surgery. It is available in both a non-toric version and a toric version for patients with astigmatism. The difference between this lens and the multifocal (MIOL) counterpart is that the EDOF, similarly to a monofocal IOL, has one focal point (elongated in the EDOF) while the multifocals have 2 focal points; therefore, having less of a halo and glare problem. Pivotal trial results where Symfony was compared to a monofocal IOL showed similar uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), better intermediate (77% vs. 34% 20/25 uncorrected intermediate visual acuity - UCIVA) and near vision (Symfony patients were able to read two additional, progressively smaller lines compared to the monofocal IOL).A One potential disadvantage of the EDOF IOL compared to a MIOL is the visual performance at near.B One option to deal with this potential shortcoming is to set the non-dominant eye for a small residual myopic error (-0.50 D)C what is referred to as nano-vision or mini mono-vision.
Patients implanted with the ReSTOR 2.5 multifocal IOL in the dominant eye and the ReSTOR 3.0 in the non-dominant eye have overall satisfaction and spectacle independence at least comparable to that with bilateral implantation of the 3.0 add lens. Glare and haloes and other unwanted visual side effects with this mixed combination of lenses is better than with bilateral 3.0 lenses.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the HARMONI® Modular Intraocular Lens System with a toric optic in subjects with pre-existing corneal astigmatism in need of cataract surgery.
Background: Phacoemulsification is the most common surgical procedure performed in the United States and European Union and sedation is commonly used during phacoemulsification to help alleviate patient anxiety and prevent the patient from interfering with the procedure. The investigators have administered ketamine in addition to midazolam in this regard. To study the effectiveness of this technique, The investigators proposed a study to determine if adding low-dose ketamine to midazolam has any beneficial (or negative) effects on operating conditions, patient satisfaction, and recovery during and after unilateral phacoemulsification procedures performed using topical anesthesia and intravenous (IV) conscious sedation. Methods: In a free-standing Outpatient Surgery Center, the investigators conducted a randomized, double-masked, 3-arm, prospective comparison of IV midazolam only vs. midazolam with ketamine 5 mg IV vs. midazolam with ketamine 10 mg IV. The investigators then measured a single surgeon's assessment of surgical conditions, self-reported patient satisfaction, postoperative pain score, and duration of postoperative stay. The investigators also analyzed the dose of midazolam required to meet subjective anxiolysis in each group.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the HARMONI® Modular Intraocular Lens System with a toric optic (HMTIOL) in subjects with pre-existing corneal astigmatism in need of cataract surgery.
Despite the advantages already demonstrated by FLACS, these surgeries still require ultrasonic devices for fragmentation of the lens. The ultrasonic energy used during phacoemulsification may induce complications such as reduction of endothelial cells and corneal edema. In this sense, it would be beneficial to develop surgical techniques that eliminate the need for ultrasound. The group of surgeons of Alfredo Tranjan Ophthalmic Center, recently developed a surgical technique of cataract that optimizes the use of the laser, eliminating the need for ultrasound during the surgical procedure. Thus, the crystalline fragmentation process does not involve ultrasound being performed by the laser itself. It is expected that this procedure will reduce the complexity of cataract surgery, and be safer in terms of potential corneal lesions. The present study intends to evaluate the benefit and safety of FLACS without use of ultrasound (USFREE), compared to traditional phacoemulsification surgery using ultrasound in patients with senile cataract. In this sense, it is intended to primarily compare the volume of balanced saline solution (BSS) between surgeries.
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy simultaneous, trans-conjunctival, 25-Gauge vitrectomy and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implant in patients with metamorphopsia and visual impairment due to idiopathic epiretinal membrane and cataract. All 30 patients recruited underwent complete ocular examination, visual acuity measurement with ETDRS, metamorphopsia assessment with M-Charts and Metamorphometry® and foveal thickness evaluation by sd-OCT preoperatively, at 30, 90, 180 days postoperatively.
