Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of the Galilei corneal analyzer to calculate the effective corneal power (keratometry, corneal curvature) in patients who have undergone both corneal refractive surgery and lens extraction with intraocular lens implantation.
The purpose of this study is to compare two cataract surgical technique variations for removing the nucleus of the lens (central part of the lens) in terms of damage to the inner layer of the cornea which is called the endothelium. One variation uses more ultrasound energy and the other more mechanical force to break up the nucleus.
A prospective evaluation of postoperative corneal aberrations and visual parameters in patients assigned to either an AcrySof IQ Toric intraocular lens (IOL) group or a group implanted with a SN60WF IOL and having concomitant limbal relaxing incision.
Two very common aging-related diseases in older adults are Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cataracts. In elderly adults, these two diseases frequently occur in the same person. Although a cure for AD is currently unavailable, cataracts can be effectively treated with surgery in most people. The removal of cataracts has documented benefits for visual performance and for reducing accidents and falls. However, it has been the experience of the ophthalmologists, and others in the field, that patients, caregivers, and primary care doctors are reluctant to proceed with cataract surgery once an individual is given the diagnosis of AD. It is thought that cataract surgery will not improve the AD patient's quality of life, vision, and cognition. The investigators have designed this study to determine whether or not this is true.
A prospective evaluation of postoperative corneal aberrations and visual parameters (e.g. visual acuity) in patients implanted with an AcrySof Toric IOL.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate, for the visual correction of aphakia, the safety and effectiveness of the Calhoun Vision Light Adjustable intraocular lens (LAL) and Light Delivery Device (LDD) in treating postoperative residual refractive error by providing a stable, targeted refractive adjustment of the LAL power and lock-in treatments with the LDD.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference on the penetration of betadine 5% when using lidocaine 2% jelly versus topical tetracaine 0.5% in topical cataract surgery. This will be assessed comparing bacterial colony count and species by taking swabs from the eye surface before and after the topical anesthesia has been administered.
The objective of this study is to evaluate postoperative visual function in patients implanted bilaterally with the ReSTOR Aspheric Intraocular Lens (IOL).
The objective of this study is to determine if an extension of bromfenac BID monotherapy is effective in the decreasing retinal thickening post cataract IOL placement surgery. No studies exist on how long to treat with an NSAID post cataract IOL placement surgery. Currently, NSAID therapy post IOL placement surgery is in conjunction with steroid treatment, lasting approximately 3 weeks. This study is designed to examine if there is benefit to extending NSAID monotherapy in regards to macular thickening and the incidence of CME.
A comparison of the ability of DisCoVisc to that of other Opthalmic Viscosurgical Devices (OVDs) (DuoVisc®, BioVisc®, Healon5®, or Amvisc PLUS) regarding endothelial protection and anterior chamber space maintenance during non-eventful cataract surgery.
