Glaucoma Does Not Preclude Endocyclophotocoagulation Plus Phacoemulsification
Even without a MIGS device, surgery-naive patients who underwent phaco-ECP can experience an IOP drop of 26%, a report suggests.
Combination Ocular, Systemic Conditions Increase Dementia Risk
Patients with diabetes had an increased dementia risk if they also had diabetic retinopathy, compared with those without it.
Ophthalmic Conditions Linked to Increased Risk for Dementia
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetes-related eye disease (DRED), and cataract are associated with an increased risk for incident dementia.
Microshunt With or Without OCM Implantation Provides Similar Results
The two device types demonstrated equal reductions in IOP and medication use.
Uneventful Cataract Surgery Does Not Change Choroidal, Foveal Thicknesses
The research shows cataract removal had a temporary positive effect on CT, and no effect on FT.
Corneal Implant Patients With Stronger Preoperative Acuity Recover From Infection Better
A study shows visual acuity 6 months after endophthalmitis following keratoprosthesis implantation correlates with pre-endophthalmitis acuity.
Sharp-Edged IOLs Not Associated With Postoperative Posterior Capsule Opacification
Following bilateral cataract surgery, patients who received round-edged IOLs experienced more posterior capsule opacification.
Circadian IOP Steady After Cataract Surgery With High-Frequency Deep Sclerotomy
While the combined approach does reduce intraocular pressures, circadian rhythm cannot be changed by the surgery.
Creature Comforts in Cataract Surgery: Techniques to Limit Intraoperative Anxiety Can Deliver Optimal Results
Experts say anxiety-reduction involves individualization, approachability, and partnership.
Blue-Light Filtering IOLs Not Protective Against AMD
A large study shows that years after surgery, the lenses did not lead to differences in macular disease rates.
Preoperative Testing Ineffective in Cataract Surgery
Postoperative complications were not linked with cataract versus noncataract surgery.
Pseudophakic Single-Vision Patients Have Elevated Fall Risk
Researchers investigated the impact pseudophakic monovision has on risk of falls.
Hallucinations May Be Charles Bonnet Syndrome, Not Early Dementia
In a 10-year follow-up of AREDS 2 participants, symptoms of CBS were associated with late AMD and cataract surgery, but normal cognition.
Macular Edema Common After Epiretinal Membrane, Macular Hole Procedures
The postoperative complication was most frequently noted among patients with more advanced disease stages.
Patients With Autoimmune Diseases Have Higher Glaucoma Risk
In a study of individuals undergoing ophthalmic surgery, more with autoimmune diseases developed POAG.
NSAIDs Without Prophylactic Steroids Sufficient in Cataract Surgery
Postoperative cataract surgery NSAID monotherapy compares well with combination treatment with steroid, or dropless surgery.
NSAID Eye Drops May Suffice for Cataract Surgery Prophylaxis
For patients undergoing uncomplicated cataract surgery, a combination of prednisolone and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) eye drops is not superior to NSAID monotherapy, and initiating prophylactic treatment three days before surgery is no better than on the day of surgery.
Vision Quality With Trifocal IOL Rated High Despite Occasional Halos, Glare
After 3 months, mean visual acuity with trifocal IOL was better than 20/25 at test distances, uncorrected and distance-corrected.
Laser Goniopuncture Can Rescue Eye After Deep Sclerectomy, But Is Not Without Risks
Most who receive nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy will require the laser procedure eventually.
