Filter by:Novel introflective sutures offer a minimally invasive approach for stable fixation of dislocated bag-IOL complexes, preserving visual acuity and reducing corneal complications in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
Prospective non-randomised cohort study enrolling patients with exfoliation glaucoma. All patients were ophthalmological examined at inclusion. Blood samples were taken for genetic analysis.
To assess safety and efficacy of a novel suprachoroidal silicone tube (SST) shunt for the treatment of primary open angle and exfoliative glaucomas.
Aim: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a systemic disease of connective tissue, it can also contribute to sarcopenia and chronic musculoskeletal pain with common pathways. 1. First aim of this study was to investigate whether the rate of sarcopenia is higher in patients with PEX 2. Second aim was to investigate the association between PEX, sarcopenia parameters and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Methods: A total of 96-patients were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: PEX-positive (n=48) and PEX-negative (n=48) patients. The variables: the demographic data, sarcopenia parameters (SARC-F-questionnaire, hand-grip strength, chair-rise test, gait speed) and pain parameters (having any chronic musculoskeletal pain, pain regions and visual analogue scale-pain).
The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of the two IOL implantation methods for eyes with cataract and PEX in a single-center and with highly experienced surgeons. The goal is to acquire relevant information regarding these two IOL implantation techniques, which will help surgeons to decide which approach to choose, ultimately resulting in a benefit for patients with PEX syndrome who require cataract surgery. The main questions are: Is there a difference in lens tilt and decentration between the both methods. Is there a difference in the frequency and amount of capsular phimosis between the both methods.
Micro pulse transscleral laser treatment (MP-TLT) is a relatively new method to reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma. New recommendations regarding the treatment protocol has recently been developed and was published 2022. The overall objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the proposed treatment method in an independent study. In addition, the outcome of MP-TLT in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, which is relatively common in the Nordic countries, and primary open angle glaucoma will be studied separately. The IOP change over the course of one year will be monitored, as well as success rate and survival. Further, patient-reported discomfort from the treatment and the occurrence of any adverse events or complications will be studied.
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.
Multicentric evaluation of best corrected visual acuity of the XEN implant versus classic trabeculectomy in open angle glaucoma subjects
Glaucoma is a common eye disease that can lead to blindness. The only known way to reduce the rate of disease progression is by reducing the pressure in the eye (the intraocular pressure, IOP). Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is an ophthalmic laser intervention with the purpose of reducing the IOP. SLT can be performed in different ways, with four of the treatment protocols being evaluated in the Optimal SLT (OSLT) trial. SLT is a repeatable procedure, but scientific evidence is scarce regarding more than one repetition. In this trial, patients included in the OSLT trial will be invited to the extended trial (OSLT-R), for further follow-up and re-treatment with SLT, if needed.
The study aims to compare the endothelial cell count in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome to the the endothelial cell count in normal patients above the age of 50.
