Comparison of changes in ECD and CCT between CPS and FLACS

5 June 2020 | | Cataract and Refractive | ECD, FLACS, corneal thickness, endothelial cell density, femtosecond laser, phacoemulsification

This is an intraindividual randomised clinical trial of 134 eyes from 67 patients, one eye was treated with femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) (including pretreatment of main incision, side port, capsulotomy and lens fragmentation) and the fellow eye received conventional...

Biomechanical stabilisation of ocular measurements post cataract surgery

1 December 2017 | | Oculoplastics, Orbit | Automated refraction, cataract, central corneal thickness, keratometry, ocular biometric parameters

This prospective study looks into the time duration of biomechanical stabilisation post uneventful cataract surgery in a case series of 62 consecutive eyes in patients with no ocular or systemic comorbidity. The patients were followed-up at fixed intervals of one...

Comparison of methods of central corneal thickness measurement in glaucoma

1 October 2015 | | Glaucoma | Central corneal thickness, desk-mounted PacScan pachymeter, glaucoma, hand-held PachPen pachymeter, ultrasound pachymetry

This prospective study was done to compare the accuracy and reproducibility of central corneal thickness measured by hand-held and disc-mounted ultrasound pachymeter in glaucoma patients. Sixty-five patients were included in the study. Patients with corneal diseases, corneal astigmatism >3 diopters...

Short-term effects of intravitreal bevacizumab on the cornea

1 December 2014 | | Cornea / External Eye Disease | anterior chamber depth, bevacizumab, central corneal thickness, intraocular pressure, iridocorneal angle, simulated keratometry

Bevacizumab has been extensively used to treat macula oedema and neovascularisation of the retina and it has also been useful in the management of corneal neovascular diseases. This prospective study aimed to provide more information on the effect bevacizumab may...
