Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess the association between vitreous hyper-reflective dots (VHD) and the macular thickness changes following uneventful phacoemulsification. In this prospective study the investigators performed optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging in patients undergoing cataract surgery preoperatively and postoperatively after 1 week, 1 month and 3 months and analyzed the OCTs for VHDs. The investigators then measured the macular thickness in patients with VHDs and without VHDs and correlated the macular thickness with the number of VHDs.
Cataract is the world's leading cause of blindness, the treatment of which, exclusively surgical, offers excellent results in terms of visual recovery. It represents the most frequently performed surgery in France with more than 800,000 procedures each year. However, some patients develop postoperative ocular surface disease that can affect final visual acuity and quality of life. For example, dry eye disease, very common in the elderly, can be worsened by cataract surgery. The identification of ocular surface biomarkers predictive of the postoperative risk of ocular surface disease carries the promise of better personalized perioperative care. Conjunctival impression cytology represents a rapid, minimally invasive method of collecting conjunctival cells, which has proven its usefulness in the evaluation of diseases of the ocular surface. The aqueous humor is directly accessible at the beginning of the surgery. An approach combining ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry on the cells of the ocular surface and on the aqueous humor could improve our understanding of the physiopathology of ocular surface disease following cataract surgery. This study will aim to 1) search for prognostic biomarkers of ocular surface disease after cataract surgery using a metabo-lipidomic approach 2) improve our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved.
This study included cataract patients who underwent toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, which aimed to evaluate the stability and clinical visual quality of toric IOLs.
Cataract surgery is one of the most frequent surgeries carried out in the world. After cataract extraction an intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted in order to compensate for the crystalline lens power and correct patient's vision. In order to allow cataract extraction and IOL insertion, during the surgery a small incision is performed by the surgeon. This incision is performed using surgical knives, and a smaller incisión is associated with less postoperatory inflammation, faster corneal wound healing, and faster visual recovery. Several studies reported the importance of smaller incisions to reduce the risk of surgically induced astigmatism. In order to implant the IOL through this small incision, the IOL must be preloaded in a injector that allows introducing the IOL eficiently and consistently. The manual injector BIOLI manufactured by AST Products (model D), CE approved, is designed specifically to allow the IOL insertion safely, precisely, and controllably. Among the main characteristics of this delivery system is its design to minimize the incision size widening while inserting the IOL. The present retrospective study aims to provide more information with regards to the clinical efficacy of the BIOLI-D delivery system for the implantation of the trifocal Asqelio TFLIO130C IOL in patients submitted to cataract surgery. This will be assessed by analyzing the change in incision size after IOL implantation and the incidence of adverse events during and after the procedure.
A clinical study has been identified as a requirement for the RDSL (Theia). This study involves a clinical comparison of the imaging from the RDSL with that of a predicate device. The clinical evaluation showed that there remains some residual risk in the practitioner's ability to use the imaging from the RDSL to detect pathologies at the same level as when using the imaging function on a predicate device. The aim of this comparative study is to determine the degree, if any, of difference in using images captured from the RDSL for clinical inspection of pathologies, when compared to images captured from a predicate device. Due to the involvement of real patients during the study, ethics approval was sought prior to commencement. This study is limited to the clinical benefits of the device. An additional Human factors study has been conducted to assess the useability of the device Images were taken of healthy eyes and eyes with pathology (with images of several pathologies from each major pathology group to give a full range) on both the predicate device, and the RDSL.
The prediction of genetic risk in congenital cataract patients has great clinical significance. In this trial, the investigators aim to screen the causative variants from 115 unrelated bilateral congenital cataract patients enrolled consecutively, describe novel and recurrent variants, analyze the factors affecting genetic diagnostic yield, and explore potential phenotype-genotype correlation.
The main purpose of the study is to develop an AI approach to improve intraocular lens power calculations.
To evaluate and compare the post-operative outcome of two different sceral fixated IOL concepts, the Yamane method (ZA9003, J&J, USA) and the Carlevale IOL (FIL-SSF, Soleko, Italy).
The main objective of this study was to evaluate distance, intermediate, and near vision in patients who have undergone cataract extraction with bilateral implantation of a new hydrophobic trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL) with a biospheric design, the Asqelio Trifocal IOL (AST Products, Inc., Billerica MA, USA), along with patient-reported outcomes (PRO). For that purpose the clinical information of 50 eyes from 25 patients was retrospectively analyzed 3 months after implantation
A cataract is the clouding of the natural lens in the eye and is very common as when getting older. A cloudy lens makes it difficult to see. A cataract is treated by removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an intraocular lens (known as an IOL). The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if the Eyedeal® IOL can be safely implanted in a subject's eye and if it can replace efficiently the natural lens. Subjects will be asked to attend a total of seven visits for this study for a period of 12 months after surgery.
