Filter by:Rationale: The number of highly myopic patients is increasing. Especially in East and Southeast Asia, up to 90% of adolescents are currently myopic. Long-term treatment of high myopia can be obtained by three types of surgery: laser refractive surgery, phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation, and refractive lens exchange Implantation with a pIOL is the preferred treatment for high myopes, resulting in increasing patient numbers implanted due to the increasing numbers of patients with high myopia. Long-term results show that implantation of a pIOL induces an accelerated decrease in corneal endothelial cells (EC). Although some risk factors for increase EC loss have been identified, the underlying mechanism is currently unknown. It is hypothesized that the aqueous flow in the anterior segment of the eye (i.e. anterior chamber) is disturbed, causing an altered nutritional flow in the anterior chamber. Another hypothesis is that the pIOL causes chronic subclinical inflammation in the anterior chamber resulting in increased EC loss. Currently there is insufficient proof to confirm or reject either hypothesis. If one of these hypotheses can be confirmed, it is likely to induces significant changes in clinical practice. Objective: The primary objective of the study is to explore the role of inflammation in the anterior chamber on endothelial cell loss in patients implanted with iris-fixated pIOLs. The secondary objective is to identify whether there is a correlation between biomarkers in aqueous humour and biomarkers in tears, both related to the accelerated progression of EC loss. Study design: Two strategies are incorporated in the design of this study. The first part will retrospectively evaluate EC loss in patients with iris-fixated (IF) phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs). The second part is prospective and will compare EC measurements, cytokines in aqueous humour and in tears from patients scheduled for IF-pIOLs explantation and compare them to patients with routine cataract surgery. Study population: Patients over 18 years of age, undergoing regular cataract surgery, and patients undergoing pIOL explantation in combination with cataract surgery. A total number of 126 patients is needed, equally divided over two groups.
This study is a prospective, single-arm, observational study of the Catalys Precision Laser System in real-world clinical practice. The study will be conducted at one site at the Boao Super Hospital in Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone of Hainan province in China. The study is being conducted to evaluate the overall performance of the Catalys Precision Laser System. One or both eyes of each subject will be included in study. The Catalys system is used as part of cataract surgery to create LASER cuts as intended by the surgeon to aid in cataract surgery, without adversely impacting the risk to the patient.As such, the endpoints of surgeon rating of completeness of corneal incisions, anterior capsulotomy and phacofragmentation and any device related adverse events from the time of Catalys System use to 1-month postoperative follow-up should adequately cover the evaluation of the intended use of the Catalys System.
Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare the analgetic effect of two solutions of intracameral anesthesia in patients undergoing cataract surgery and assess the factors influencing the patients' postoperative activities. Methods: In this prospective, single-blind, randomized study, a group of 62 patients undergoing cataract surgery received Mydrane (Mydrane group) or a combination of 1% solution of lignocaine and 0.025% solution of adrenalin (reference group) as an intraocular anesthetic. The analgetic effect of these two anesthetic methods was evaluated using psychological tools - Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VAS Pain) and Brief Pain Inventory-short form (BPI) on the next day after the surgery.
This study will investigate the effectiveness of an optometric follow up of cataract surgery versus an ophthalmic surgeon follow up. It will investigate patient satisfaction,safety and cost.
Cystoid macular edema (CME) can limit visual acuity after cataract surgery. Little is known whether the incidence is similar between standard ultrasound phacoemulsification cataract surgery (phaco), femtolaser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), and combined phacoemulsification cataract surgery plus micro invasive glaucoma surgery (phaco+MIGS) procedures.
This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, subject- and evaluator-masked, bilateral-implant study conducted at up to 15 sites worldwide. A total of up to 280 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio for implantation with either the TECNIS Symfony plus IOL Model ZHR00V or the Trifocal IOL. This will ensure that data from at least 100 subjects in the TECNIS Symfony plus lens group and at least 100 subjects in the Trifocal lens group will be available for analysis at the 6-month follow-up timepoint. All subjects will be followed for up to 6 months postoperative.
Check the sedation conditions during topic cataract surgery
Prospective survey study of patients who previously underwent cataract surgery with the Alcon PanOptix or PanOptix Toric intraocular lens in both eyes.
This study will provide a profile of blindness/visual impairment, avoidable blindness and cataract surgery service in Chaonan, mainland China. We also evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) comparison with conventional survey.
This study evaluates and compares clinical outcomes of < 85 and ≥ 85 year old patients who underwent cataract surgeries.
