Filter by:To-date there have been only very few studies to examine the effect of cataract surgery to patients with wet age-related macular degeneration. The evidence on the effects of cataract surgery in such patients suggests improvement of their visual function and quality of life, but at the same time a subclinical susceptibility to macular edema and exacerbation of the choroidal neovascularization. Therefore it is highly important to identify the optimum treatment regime, pursuing the best anatomical and functional postoperative results.
Topical anaesthesia of the eye for ophthalmologic procedures avoids pain and discomfort of local anaesthetic injection in the peribulbar or retrobulbar block so that patient comfortability is achieved. Sedation during topical anaesthesia of the eye is mostly required to achieve anxiolysis, amnesia and keeping the patient calm all through the procedure. In the present study, the investigators will investigate the effect of nalbuphine/dexmedetomidine versus nalbuphine/propofol on the sedation as a primary outcome, intra-operative, postoperative analgesia, vital signs, patient and surgeon satisfaction and side effects as secondary outcomes
Purpose: To assess the time-efficiency of a designated operation room (OR) workflow in the introduction of Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS, LenSx, Alcon®). The study was carried out in a public hospital with high volume of procedures. Setting: Ophthalmology department of a tertiary referral Spanish public hospital. Design: Prospective, controlled, surgical intervention study. Methods: A total of 167 eyes were enrolled, including 62 eyes undergoing conventional phacoemulsification surgery. In phase I, patients were assigned either to FLACS-I (n=63) or conventional phacoemulsification surgery (n=62). One surgeon operated the Femto-second laser, another finished the procedure, whereas another performed a conventional phacoemulsification. In the second phase (FLACS-II), all the surgeries were FLACS (n=42). A surgeon performed the FLACS procedure and two different surgeons completed the surgeries in separated ORs. Surgical and roll-over times of all the patients were recorded.
The objective of this study is to obtain an initial assessment of the safety and performance of an investigational AIOL in patients undergoing cataract extraction and IOL implantation.
Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study is to investigate the end tidal carbon dioxide pressure (ETCO2) values in order to determine the carbon dioxide accumulation under drape and to investigate it's hemodynamic effects based on anesthetic and surgical records in eye surgeries under local anesthesia. Methods: The data were collected from anesthetic records of the patients who were followed with noninvasive capnograph (Capnostream 20 p, Oridion®, Israel) by the anesthesiology department in the operating room at Duzce University Faculty of Medicine Hospital during the period of January 2016 to December 2016. Collected data from the 42 patients' records were systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures, operation duration, total local anesthetic and, heart rate, ST segment analysis, ETCO2 pressure, pulse oximeter values. The time periods of collected datas were determined as: after the anesthesia and before drape closure (baseline level), at 10th, 15th, 20th, 45th of the surgery and 5 minutes after drape removal.
The main objective is to describe the characteristics of dry eye syndrome before and after surgery at one month of cataract surgery, using a multimodal analysis of the ocular surface. The secondary objectives are to evaluate: - Predictive factors of dry eye syndrome during cataract surgery: - The characteristics of dry eye syndrome - Implications for the patient's quality of life
Comparison of the new extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) ARTIS ACTIVE, which is designed as a twinset of IOLs, with the standard EDOF IOL AT Lara .
Goals of the study are to evaluate how peri-operative versus intra-operative anti-VEGF intravitreous injections affect visual acuity (BCVA) in patients with persistent diabetic macular edema who are undergoing cataract surgery; and to evaluate how peri-operative versus intra-operative anti-VEGF intravitreous injections affect OCT CSF thickness and total number of postoperative injections in patients with diabetic macular edema who are undergoing cataract surgery.
Previously, the investigators have developed a minimal invasive lens surgery in the purpose of reduce post-operative complications of congenital cataract. This prospective, randomized controlled study aims at comparing the prognosis of the minimal invasive lens surgery and the traditional cataract surgery for treating congenital cataracts.
To study the pathological mechanism of cataract by genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics.
