Retinal Detachment Surgery Patients Frequently Undergo Additional Procedures
Most only require 1 additional procedure — usually cataract surgery, the investigation shows.
Toric IOLs Can Manage Astigmatism in Eyes With Prior Radial Keratotomy
The devices decrease refractive astigmatism postoperatively compared with preoperative corneal astigmatism.
This Caught My Eye: Links and Recommendations from Edmund Tsui, MD
Edmund Tsui, MD, social media editor for the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s journal Ophthalmology, guides readers through what’s trend-worthy in eye care.
Refractive Changes Still Occur After Foldable Iris-Fixated pIOL Implantation
Patients implanted with foldable iris-fixated phakic intraocular lenses may experience annual changes in refractive error, visual acuity, and axial length, making the devices a long-term, but not permanent solution.
Vitreoretinal Surgery Can Increase Glaucoma Likelihood, Statins May Mitigate Risk
Long-term systemic statin use may reduce glaucoma risk after vitreoretinal surgery, according to a report.
Cataract Eyes in Patients With Diabetes Have Increased Cytokine Profile
Compared with age-related cataract eyes, patients with diabetes have significantly higher concentrations of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2.
Younger Pediatric Cataract Surgery Patients At Higher Glaucoma Risk
A patient’s age at the time of operation can influence whether they develop glaucomatous disease later in life.
Combined OMNI, Cataract Surgery Reduces IOP in Patients of Hispanic Ethnicity
The dual procedure also cut the need for medication to help manage glaucoma, a report shows.
Viral Anterior Uveitis Does Not Preclude Cataract Surgery Success
Cataract surgery in patients with CMV anterior uveitis leads to significantly improved corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) in 73% of patients, a study says.
Shape-Changing, Presbyopia-Correcting IOL Avoids Contrast Sensitivity Loss
The device is not associated with increased rates of dysphotopsias, according to the report.
Unclear if Cryopreserved Amniotic Membranes Have A Role in EMBD Treatment
Cryopreserved amniotic membrane shows no benefit over bandage contact lens in optimizing the ocular surface before cataract removal, according to a study.
Foldable Anterior Chamber Phakic IOL Deemed Stable in 10-Year Study
Research shows the devices’ effectiveness in patients with high myopia, astigmatism.
SS-OCT Reveals Age-Related and Cycloplegia-Induced Changes in the Crystalline Lens
SS-OCT may be a better method of obtaining crystalline lens parameters than conventional means such as MRI, Scheimpflug imaging, or ultrasound biomicroscopy, a study suggests.
Toric IOLs Correct Astigmatism Similar to Spherical Lenses Plus PRK
Study suggests sharp refractive control in 2-step phacoemulsification plus PRK, but similar outcomes and fewer risks with 1-step toric IOL implantation.
Patients Report High Satisfaction With Trifocals, EDOF IOLs
Investigators say the EDOF lens may be preferable for optimal uncorrected near visual acuity.
Ocular Parameters Linked With Glaucoma After Congenital Cataract Surgery
A family history of congenital cataract, thicker central corneas, smaller horizontal corneal diameters, and thinner lenses are all associated with more glaucoma-related adverse events, a study shows.
Phakic IOLs Maintain Stability, Predictability After 15 Years
Foldable phakic intraocular lens produced refractive stability at 15 years, but study advises at least 3 mm anterior chamber depth to implant pIOL.
Ab-Interno Canaloplasty Effective Alone or With Cataract Surgery
As a standalone or combined procedure, ABiC reduced intraocular pressure and medical drop dependence at 36 months, according to a report.
No Significant Increase in Trabeculectomy Failure Following Clear-Cornea Phaco
However, researchers note “clinically relevant differences” in glaucoma procedure success rates for patients with a history of the refractive procedure.
