Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference on the penetration of betadine 5% when using lidocaine 2% jelly versus topical tetracaine 0.5% in topical cataract surgery. This will be assessed comparing bacterial colony count and species by taking swabs from the eye surface before and after the topical anesthesia has been administered.
To study the effect of Diclofenac drops or Dexamethasone drops on combined surgery of trabeculectomy and cataract surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Akreos Toric IOL following cataract surgery.
Hypothesis : Phacoemulsification is superior to SICS with regards to: - Immediate unaided high and low contrast visual performance - Its impact on quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ESBA105, a single-chain (scFv) antibody against TNF-alpha, efficiently penetrates into the anterior chamber and the vitreous body upon topical administration to the eye.
The objective of this study is to evaluate postoperative visual function in patients implanted bilaterally with the ReSTOR Aspheric Intraocular Lens (IOL).
Cataract surgery is the most prevalent surgical procedure. Since most candidates are elderly patients, hypertension is common among these patients. Preoperative anxiety and tension may cause elevation of patient's heart rate and blood pressure and thus expose them to serious potential complications such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Medical clowns are known to reduce preoperative anxiety of both children and their parents. It is possible therefore that medical clown may have such a beneficial effect also on patients scheduled for cataract surgery under local anesthesia.
Two intraocular irrigating solutions (BSSPlus versus Lactated Ringer's) are compared in this prospective, randomized, masked trial to investigate for differences in preservation of corneal integrity after phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
This study evaluates the visual performance and occurrence of posterior capsular opacification after implantation of a new aspherical intraocular lens compared with a control spherical lens of otherwise identical design.
The use of dexmedetomidine in cataract surgery is still limited and to date only one study has examined anesthetic technique in this patient population. This pilot study will therefore compare the use of dexmedetomidine and propofol in subjects undergoing cataract surgery. The primary endpoint will be based on simple cardiorespiratory measures often associated with complications from sedation as well as assessment of the achieved sedation by the attending anesthesiologist and surgeon.
