Filter by:The Artisan lens (Artisan Aphakic, Ophtec BV) is an iris- claw lens designed for implantation in children with insufficient capsular support. In spite of less surgical manipulations and a relatively shorter operation time, the procedure carries the risk of corneal endothelial cell loss or dis-enclavation, particularly in children. However, most of the studies that studied iris-claw lenses in aphakic children were retrospective evaluated only a single technique; either anterior or retropupillary fixation, or comparable to other techniques of fixation. Thus the aim of this work is to prospectively compare the 2 techniques of iris-claw lens implantation and their effects on central endothelial cell density, the anatomical and visual outcome, as well as the complications' rate.
The aim of this study is to determine the principal factors that influence endothelial cell loss three month post cataract surgery. Methods: Multi center observational Cohort study, inclusion period from 12/01/2022 to 10/06/2022. One hundred and seventy-five eyes of hundred and four patients who have appointment for cataract surgical indication were included. The percentage of corneal endothelial cell loss was quantified using specular microscopy before and 3 months after the surgery. 14 variables (pre-operative and intra-operative) that could be associated to endothelial cell injury were selected. A bivariate analysis of relationship between these factors and endothelial cell loss at 3 months was performed by simple linear regression (Wilcoxon and Fischer tests). Multivariate analysis was performed by multiple linear regression in order to identify the factors independently related to endothelial cell loss.
To study corneal endothelial cells changes after phacoemulsification in patients with senile cataract and pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) compared with control patients with senile cataract using specular microscope.
This is a multi-center cohort study with prognostic aims to identify factors associated with endothelial cell loss during cataract surgery. Patients will have their endothelial density measured by specular microscopy preoperatively, at 1 month and at 3 months after surgery. The rest of their management will be in line with standard practice.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the change of endothelial cell count after XEN45 in patients with or without cataract operation.
Study evaluates safety of intracameral injection of Fydrane (tropicamide 0.02%, phenylephrine 0.31% and lidocaine 1%) on corneal endothelium, and efficiency in maintaining pupillary dilatation during phacoemulsification surgery.
Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. Since the introduction of phacoemulsification to remove the cataractous lens, risk and complication rates of cataract surgery decreased significantly. The phacoemulsification technique utilizes a high-intensity ultrasound energy for the fragmentation and emulsification of the lens. One of the main complications during phacoemulsification, is damaging of the endothelium due to contact with lens fragments of the nucleus following turbulent flow of irrigating solution, resulting in corneal damage, inflammation of the endothelium and corneal edema. In this study we want to evaluate the effect of the anterior capsule, gained by capsular rhexis, as a corneal shield during phacoemulsification on the corneal endothelium.
the investigators will compare between the endothelial cell loss after phacoemulsification and extracapsular cataract extraction in management of senile cataract
Corneal endothelial cells health and pumping function is crucial to permit corneal optical clarity by keeping cornea in relatively dehydrated state. Corneal endothelial damage has been associated with most types of intraocular surgery. Trabeculectomy is the standard glaucoma surgical intervention in management of progressive glaucoma despite of medical therapy which can be performed in combination with Cataract surgery (Phacoemulsification and IOL implantation) in patients with cataract-impaired visual acuity. In this study, the investigators will investigate and compare the corneal endothelial cells number and health status before and after trabeculectomy vs. combined surgery (at 1 month and 3 months post-op visits) using Specular microscopy which is a non-invasive technique to access the structure and function of the corneal endothelium by permitting visualization of the corneal endothelial mosaic to assess the effect of this surgical intervention on corneal endothelial cells health and number.
To assess and compare the complications and results of different lamellar endothelial keratoplasty techniques and its variations.
