Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the efficacy, patient preference, and utility of a novel eye shield that utilizes a different adhesive mechanism in comparison to the current standard of care. The aims are to see if this product could be incorporated into postoperative care in the future to improve patient satisfaction and compliance. The study will involve 20 patients during the postoperative timeframe after cataract extraction and intraocular lens placement (CEIOL). These patients will be chosen from the clinic of Dr. Marc Toeteberg who will plan to have both eye surgeries done within 3 months of each other. These patients will be randomized to either control or intervention group. Intervention group will receive our novel eye shield prototype, while control group will receive an Alcon plastic eye shield. Both groups will receive the eye shields after surgery and will be sent home with these eye shields with normal postoperative care directions. Patient will be directed to wear eye shields for 24 hours then at night for first 2 weeks after surgery, while adhering to postoperative eye drops regimen. After successfully healing and passing the postoperative timeframe for the first eye we will proceed to the second arm of the study. Approximately 1-2 months after healing from the first surgery, patient will be scheduled for cataract surgery on the other eye, as is standard of care. After surgery on the second eye the patient will be given the other eye shield than what they received after the first surgery (control groups will receive the novel eye shield and experimental groups will receive the control eye shield). They will proceed to follow identical postoperative protocols after the second surgery. A short quantitative and qualitative questionnaire directly comparing the two eye shield experiences will be provided at the 1 month follow-up after the eye surgery.
Cataracts are cloudy areas in the lens of the eye that can cause changes in vision. Symptoms of cataracts include cloudy or fuzzy vision and sensitivity to glare. Cataract extraction with Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the world. Presbyopia affects almost everyone over the age of 50. With age, the natural crystalline lens loses its ability to change shape, or accommodate, to focus on near distances. Thus, individuals with excellent distance vision will still need to wear spectacles for near tasks such as reading, and intermediate tasks such as computer work.
The goal of this clinical trial is to look at the difference in pressure lowering effects in patients having two different combinations of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) at the time of their cataract surgery. Eligible patients will have mild to moderate glaucoma and be candidates for cataract surgery. The trial will look at the eye pressure before and one year after cataract surgery in patients. One eye in each patient will have cataract surgery with canaloplasty using OMNI. The patients other eye will have cataract surgery with canaloplasty and a HYDRUS stent. The trial will look at the differences in eye pressure and if patients are able to need fewer eye pressure lowering drops after surgery. Study participants will undergo preop testing of pressure, vision, slit lamp exam, ocular coherence tomography (OCT) of the nerve fiber layer (NFL) analysis, and visual field prior to cataract surgery with MIGS. One day, one week, one month, 6 month, and 1 year exams will be performed to check pressure, vision, slit lamp exam, and number of necessary eye pressure medications in each eye.
The aim of this study is to compare Mydrane ®, mydriatic eye drops and Mydriasert ® in terms of pupil site stability, surgical time, visual field and anterior chamber configuration modifications among primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients during cataract extraction surgery.
Misalignment of IOLs can cause severe loss of visual quality. Different types of misalignment are known. Tilt is one type of misalignment that is thought to play a negative role for the optical performance in eyes with IOL designs, especially, if they have aspheric, toric or multifocal optics. Due to the fact that tilt has an influence on visual quality, the prediction of the post-operative tilt could improve IOL power calculaton significantly especially for toric IOLs. the Aim of this study is to measure tilt with two modern OCT based devices and one Scheimpflug camera and to predict the post-operative tilt using partial least squares regression.
In case of instability or rupture of capsular bag occurs during cataract surgery, Yamane technique is one of the options to fix intracocularlens' haptics. Yamane technique uses a double-needle technique that seamlessly fixes the haptics intrascleral by creating a scleral tunnel. Aberrations, IOL tilting or even dislocations might occur and influence the final outcome of IOL implantation. The aim of this study is the evaluation of the postoperative tilt of Kowa PU6AS using Yamane technique. Furthermore of the corrected and uncorrected visual acuity and the anterior chamber depth are being developed.
In this randomized clinical trial, patients with concomitant glaucoma and cataract candidate for non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) and phacoemulsification (PE) and subtenon mitomycin injection will be enrolled. Patients will randomly be allocated to two groups ["NPDS and PE and autotransplantation of human anterior lens capsule (ALC)" and "NPDS and PE" alone]. Exclusion criteria will be the patients with prior ocular surgery, neovascular glaucoma, uveitis, or compromised ocular surface. The intervention group will be undergoing NPDS and PE with the use of an ALC as the spacer in the intrascleral lake. The control group will be undergoing NPDS and PE without any spacer. The primary outcome will be intraocular pressure measured on days 1, 3, 7, months 1, 3, 6, and 12. The secondary outcomes will be surgical success rate (complete and qualified), the number of glaucoma medications, best-corrected visual acuity, surgical complications, and the need for needling and laser goniopuncture measured at the same intervals. The complete success rate will be defined as intraocular pressure less than 18 mmHg with a 20 percent reduction without anti-glaucoma medication. The qualified success rate will be defined as intraocular pressure less than 18 mmHg with a 20 percent reduction with anti-glaucoma medication.
This trial hypothesized that novel laser refractive surgery techniques (PRK, LASIK, SMILE) or laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACAS) could suppress postoperative inflammation and improve recovery in patients by reducing oxidative stress generated by the surgical procedure. It is also intended to verify whether the new laser technology is necessary for clinical use in groups with low antioxidant activity through the detection of antioxidant activity in the eyes of patients.
The objective is to assess refractive accuracy of the Alcon Vision Suite (with Argos biometer) following Clareon PanOptix and AcrySof Vivity IOL implantation.
This study is to compare the rotational stability, visual outcome and patient satisfaction after implantation with either Liberty 677MTY, a multifocal diffractive-refractive IOL based on EPS technology manufactured by Medicontur Ltd. (Zsámbék, Hungary) or the multifocal toric IOL PanOptix®, manufactured by Alcon.
