Single center, prospective, randomised, controlled, double-blind post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to compare the clinical outcomes of a premium monofocal intraocular lens (PhysIOL ISOPURE 1.2.3.) with clinical data obtained in a control group implanted with an EDOF IOL (Alcon Acrysof IQ Vivity).
ABSTRACT Objective: The research was conducted as a prospective randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of hand massage applied before cataract surgery on anxiety, surgical fear, pain and physiological parameters of patients. Study design: The sample of the study consisted of 60 patients, 30 experimental and 30 control, who had cataract surgery and met the study criteria in Eye Operating Room of a tertiary hospital between 24 December 2020 and 31 May 2021. Ethics committee, institutional permission and participant consent were obtained in this study, and data were collected using the descriptive characteristics form, Physiological Parameters Observation Form (PPOF), VAS-Anxiety, Surgical Fear Scale (SFS), and VAS-Pain scale. In the study, individuals in the experimental group were given hand massage for 10 minutes before cataract surgery. Before and after hand massage, PPOF, VAS-Anxiety and SFS were measured and recorded. In addition, PPOF, VAS-Anxiety and VAS-Pain were measured and recorded again at the postoperative 30th minute. Pearson chi-square, Shapiro Wilk, Levene test, Two-Way Analysis of Variance in Repeated Measurements, Mann-Whitney U test were used in the analysis of the data.
The aim of the study is to compare the agreement and repeatability of ocular biometric parameters obtained using three swept-source optical coherence tomography (ss-OCT) device (Argos, IOLMaster 700 and ANTERION). This is a prospective, single centre study, that would include a number of 50 eyes of 50 patients, which attend pre-surgical examination. Three measurements per biometry device will be performed on the day of the first eye surgery. The measurements will be performed in a randomised fashion with three ss-OCT devices (IOLMaster 700, Argos and ANTERION). Inclusion criteria are: 40 years or above, age-related cataract, 20 eyes with AL< 22.0 mm and 30 eyes with AL>25.5 mm. Exclusion criteria are: patients with ocular or systemic pathologies that would interfere with the measurements (e.g. dense cataract, corneal pathology, nystagmus). The main outcome of the study will be: the difference (Limits of agreement) between the devices for the following parameters: keratometry (Ks, Kf, Km), CCT (µm), ACD (mm), LT (mm), AL (mm). Secondary outcomes will be: repeatability coefficient and coefficient of variation between the three device, measurement time for each device, and the feasibility for the Argos device.
81 eyes of 81 patients undergoing cataract surgery were included in this prospective interventional study. During cataract surgery, intracameral carbachol was applied to 27 eyes, intracameral epinephrine was administered to 20 eyes and 34 eyes were the control group. Macular choroidal thickness measurement was performed before, 1 day, and 1 week after phacoemulsification surgery in all patients using optical coherence tomography.

Purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of presbyopic correction lens on Humphrey visual field (HVF) testing in patients with 2 models of multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL) both with and without glaucoma. All participants performed HVF testing with presbyopic collection lenses and without presbyopic collection lenses on the same occasion (5-10 minutes between the test). The mean deviation (MD) and pattern standard deviation (PSD) were compared between with and without presbyopic collection lenses, between glaucoma and non-glaucoma and between 2 models of MIOL.
The world health organization declared corona virus disease (COVID19) a pandemic since march 2020. Since then the future landscape of medical practices and procedures is being heavily shaped by the emergence of this pandemic. COVID 19 testing has already standardized within the medical field as doctors wearing scrubs or fitness examination before operation. We are now more than 2 years into COVID-19 pandemic with more than 6 effective vaccines available in the market for public to boost and build up their immunity against the virus. Every 3 to 4 months we hear about a new strain and another wave of the virus attacking the world, therefore healthcare institutions face enormous challenges in balancing patients' needs and simultaneous safety to health care workers. The Indian council of medical research in June 2020 proposed that testing for Covid-19 for asymptomatic patients coming for elective surgeries should be performed for neurosurgery, ear nose, and throat (ENT) surgery, dental procedures, etc. and for non-surgical interventions like bronchoscopy, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and dialysis. A role of preoperative testing of Covid-19 for every patient is still controversial especially in asymptomatic healthy patients with not known exposure to a COVID positive patient. Most patients attending eye out patient department (EOPD) are aged 65y and older are considered at a higher risk for worse outcome in case of COVID-19 infection. Therefore a rethink of a cataract surgery pathway should include preoperative perioperative and postoperative care in order to maintain safety conditions for patients and for healthcare staff. COVID-19 can infect anyone and result in transmission of infection before the patient become symptomatic or even without ever developing symptoms. Therefore preoperative screening of patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery should be considered.
To analyse quality assurance after cataract surgery by assessing discomfort and other symptoms via telephone interviews either in the evening of the day of the surgery or 1 day after surgery versus no additional call after surgery.
This project will apply AI technology to meet the gap between increasing demand and limited capacity of high- volume healthcare services. The project will develop evidence that will support the safe deployment of Ufonia's automated telemedicine platform to deliver calls to cataract surgery patients at two large NHS hospital trusts. The proposed study will implement DORA in addition to the current standard of care for a cohort of patients at Imperial College Healthcare Trust and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The study will evaluate the agreement of DORA's decision with an expert clinician. In addition it will test the acceptability of the solution for patients and clinicians; the sensitivity and specificity of the system in deciding if a patient requires additional review; and the health economic benefits of the solution to patients (reduced time and travel) and the local healthcare system. If successful, a proposal will be developed to roll the solution out to all patients at each site in anticipation of an application to a late phase award for wider NHS deployment.
