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.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate corneal endothelial cell density and morphology, central corneal thickness, and best visual acuity using US phacoemulsification or Nanosecond laser technique. Setting: Department of ophthalmology, Nabeul, Tunisia. Design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: The study included eyes with nuclear cataract density grade 1, 2, 3, or 4 according to LOCS III, divided into two groups; Group 1 had conventional US, and group 2 had nanosecond laser. The Endothelial Cell Density (ECD), coefficient of variation (CoV) in cell size, percentage of hexagonal cells, central corneal thickness and best visual acuity were evaluated over 24 months.
The objective is to assess the efficiency of the Active Sentry handpiece at low intraocular pressure (IOP) compared with the Ozil at high IOP.
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed and reliable surgeries among eye diseases. While cataract surgeries were performed under general or local anesthesia in previous years, they are now performed topically. Despite providing conscious sedation with agents such as benzodiazepines and opioids before and during surgery, patients experience pain, anxiety, and discomfort during the surgical procedure. One of the non-pharmacological methods used to relieve acute pain during surgical intervention is stress ball. It is also used to reduce pain and anxiety and increase patient comfort. The stress ball suppresses most of the nerves and muscles directly connected to the brain around the wrist and hand, stimulating nerve and muscle activity. This mechanism reduces the release of stress hormones, regulates blood pressure by providing relaxation and relief, and helps reduce anxiety and acute stress. When literature is examined, it is seen that stress ball application is effective on patients' pain, anxiety, and vital signs; however, no randomized controlled study has been found in which stress ball application was performed during cataract surgery. This study was planned to investigate the effect of stress ball application during cataract surgery on patients' anxiety, pain, and vital signs.
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 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.
