Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of staged and combined phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) to treat cataract patients with corneal endothelial dysfunction. Surgical and postoperative complications, visual acuity and corneal endothelial cell density are evaluated.
The main objectives of this feasibility study were: - To demonstrate the feasibility of HARMONI Modular Intraocular Lens (HMIOL) implantation and assembly in subjects undergoing cataract surgery (All HMIOL Cohort), and - To demonstrate the feasibility of the HMIOL optic component exchange procedure (performed 3 months following primary cataract extraction) (Cohort 2).
To compare the use of an injectable compound containing an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory at time of cataract surgery to standard of care that is the use 3 different topical medications to prevent inflammation and infection after routine cataract surgery.
Nowadays cataract patient's expectations are closer to those of refractive surgery patients. Patients want to be spectacle independent. However, fifteen to twenty percent of cataract surgery patients have from 1.00 to 3.00 diopters (D) of corneal astigmatism which makes achieving spectacle independence unlikely in this patients unless the astigmatism is treated at the time of cataract surgery. Option to treat this astigmatism include corneal or limbal incisions (LRIs), the use of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) or LASIK. Regardless of the treatment of choice to correct the astigmatism at time of cataract extraction, a treatment plan has to be calculated preoperatively. This planning include: keratometry measurements and the use of a calculator to estimate the treatment and orientation of IOL and/or placement of the LRIs. New technology has been developed and is widely used. Among this technology, we have the VERION Image Guided System. This system encompasses a reference unit that takes a picture of the eye with the patient in the sitting position creating image of the patient's eye, capturing scleral vessels, limbus and iris features. It measures keratometry as well as the corneal diameter (limbus) and pupil size. The information captured is transferred automatically to its planner where IOL power calculation and astigmatism correction calculation are completed. Additionally, intraoperative wavefront aberrometry has been used in the last couple of years with increase success.
Recently a prototype of a combination of an anterior segment OCT (VISANTE; Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) and an operating microscope (OPMI 200; Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) was introduced that allows measurements of the crystalline lens as well as the lens capsule itself after removing the crystalline lens of cataract patients intra-operatively. This device uses OCT technology to create high resolution B-scans (=images) of the anterior segment of the eye. The OCT was shown to be highly reproducible for ACD measurements pre-operatively 12 and small changes of the IOL/crystalline lens can be detected 13. In a previous study (EK-10-125-0710) that was recently published in the journal "Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science" it was shown that intra-operative measurements of the anterior lens capsule improve the refractive outcome theoretically.14 However, in this previous study conventional eye models were used for IOL power calculation and only the intra-operative measurement replaced pre-operative ACD measurements. Aim of this study is to observe, whether the postoperative refractive outcome could be improved theoretically by using both pre- and intra-operative measurements for retrospective IOL power calculation with new eye models.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of XG-102 (900µg) compared to vehicle in the treatment of subjects with inflammation and pain following cataract surgery.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the Centurion® Vision System (CVS) used with the 45° Balanced Tip will result in less Cumulative Dissipated Energy (CDE) than the lnfiniti® Vision System (IVS) used with the 45° Mini-Flared Kelman (MFK) tip during cataract extraction surgery via phacoemulsification of cataract grades NII- NIV [Lens opacities classification system II (LOCSII)].
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subtenon block (SB)anesthesia with dexmedetomidine in combination with bupivacaine versus intravenous dexmedetomidine for postoperative analgesia and emesis control in infants undergoing cataract surgery.
Since femtosecond laser was approved for cataract surgery by FDA in 2010, femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) has demonstrated high precision of capsulotomy, reduced phacoemulsification power and time, and comparable refractive outcome in clinic. It is still unknown whether there are toxic substances produced due to photochemical or high-energy physical effect of femtosecond laser during FLACS.
The management of childhood glaucoma (CG), childhood cataract (CC) and other birth defects affecting the eyes requires frequent hospital attendances and often multiple surgical and medical interventions, and are often associated with poor vision. Chronic medical conditions and vision impairment can affect quality of life (QoL). The QoL of children with the above conditions has not previously been evaluated.
