Filter by:Cataract, is a clouding of the lens in the eye gradually leading to reduction of the visual acuity. In most cases it can be managed with surgery, removing the own lens and replacing it with an artificial lens, intraocular lens (IOL). These lenses are made in different materials with different properties. Uveitis refers to an inflammation in the iris, ciliary body and choroid. Patients with this disease have an increased risk of developing cataract due to the inflammation itself and treatment with steroids. They also have an increased risk of complications during surgery and postoperatively. In this group the selection of IOL might be of greater importance. The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study is to compare the outcome of hydrophobic and hydrophilic intraocular lenses in patients with and without uveitis
Cataract is an ophthalmic disease that usually affects the elderly population. Cataract surgery with phaco-emulsification is now the most frequently performed intraocular surgical procedure in the developed world. However, differences in surgical technique impact the severity of surgical trauma and post-operative recovery. The amount of post-operative ocular pain and inflammation plays a significant role in the Patient's perception of the surgical success. Several ophthalmic products have been studied in the management of post-surgery ocular inflammation and pain following cataract surgery. Corticosteroids are considered the gold standard for the treatment of ocular inflammation, and their most commonly used route of administration is the topical instillation as eye drops formulation. After topical administration of Dexamethasone, the concentration in the anterior chamber increases and declines within hours, necessitating frequent daily instillations of eye drops for several weeks. This might be associated with compliance issues, particularly in elderly Patients or in individuals with disabilities. A pharmaceutical formulation allowing for a less frequent administration could therefore be an attractive alternative. NETILDEX™ eye drops solution, containing Netilmicin Sulfate 4.55 mg (3mg/ml) and Dexamethasone Disodium Phosphate 1.32 mg (1mg/ml), is already available for Patients. A new ophthalmic gel, preservative-free formulation has been developed. This new formulation has been tested in pre-clinical animal studies and in a clinical trial. The new formulation contains Xanthan gum, a high molecular mass polysaccharide approved by the FDA in 1969 for food products. It is used in the product as viscosity enhancer and to give to the product pseudo-plastic characteristics and prolonged ocular retention time. The purpose of this trial is to show that the administration of a reduced dose of NETILDEX ™ gel 2 times a day starting on the day of cataract extraction by means of phaco-emulsification and administered until 14 days after surgery is sufficient to obtain a non-inferior efficacy of the NETILDEX ™ eye drops solution administered 4 times a day for the same period.
The purpose of this study is to quantify the opacity of posterior capsule in pediatric cataract comparing two intraocular lens materials.
This study included patients who visit for refractive surgery (photorefractive keratectomy, photorefractive keratectomy with with corneal collagen cross linking, laser in situ keratomileusis, small incision lenticule extraction), phakic Intraocular Lens implantation (Implantable Collamer Lens, artiflex), and cataract surgery. Patients will be examined whether iris recognition scanner of smartphone works before and after surgery. In addition, before and after pupil dilation (5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm), patients will be examined whether iris recognition scanner of smartphone works well.
Deep topical fornix nerve block anaesthesia is now a known form of nerve block for cataract surgeries by phacoemulsification. In this study the investigators intend to compare ropivacaine and bupivacaine in various parameters during phacoemulsification.
This study will measure the dynamic real-time intraocular pressure (IOP) in the anterior chamber during standard phacoemulsification surgery. What is known: - Fluidics control is determined to be one of the primary drivers of physician decision making in choosing phacoemulsification equipment. - Active pressure system fluidic control has a perceived and possibly real (based upon recent literature) improvement in intra-cameral IOP stability and reduced pressure fluctuations. - Improved fluidics can allow for reduced dynamic IOP fluctuations, in-the-bag positioned phaco tip, and intra-cameral fluid flow all of which will likely improve corneal health post-operatively.
In a randomized clinical trial, 30 eyes with traumatic cataract after open globe injury with IOL implantation underwent early and 30 eyes underwent late cataract surgery. We excluded patients who were under 12-year-old. All patients were visited at 1week, 4 weeks , 12 weeks and six months after surgery. In each visit, patients were examined regarding visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), anterior chamber inflammation, IOL position and posterior synechiae. In addition, posterior segment evaluation and funduscopy were performed. Intraoperative complication including posterior capsular rupture, anterior vitrectomy and zonulysis as well as the site of IOL implantation were documented and postoperative complications including raised IOP, anterior chamber inflammation, visual axis opacity, posterior synechiae, subluxation of IOL, IOL pigment deposition were listed.
To compare the effects of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and conventional phacoemulsification surgery (CPS) on subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in age-related cataracts.
The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of music therapy on anxiety and hypertension during cataract surgery procedures performed under topical anaesthesia.
This study will evaluate outcome in subjects who have elected to have Zepto capsulotomies during cataract surgery with phacoemulsification.
