Comparison of SIA from femtosecond laser and manual CCIs for cataract surgery
This study group compared the differences in surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) vector, flattening effect, torque and wound architecture following both femtosecond laser and manual clear corneal incisions (CCIs). A double-armed, randomised, prospective case series was conducted. Cataract surgery was performed...
Oral glycerol effect on anterior chamber depth during cataract surgery
The authors present the findings of a controlled clinical trial where cataract patients having surgery for both eyes at least seven days apart were given oral glycerol preoperatively when operating on the right eye. This meant that the left eye...
Corneal and astigmatic changes after medial rectus recession surgery of 6mm
This study prospectively compared changes in astigmatism before and two months after unilateral recession of medial rectus muscles using Pentacam. The fellow unoperated eye was used as the control eye. The study included 66 eyes and 33 patients; 21 males,...
Topical nonsteroidal ant-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients undergoing cataract surgery
Inflammation is a major risk factor for the development of cystoid macular oedema (CMO) after cataract surgery, leading to breakdown of the blood-retina barrier. There is a correlation between severity of CMO and level of postoperative inflammation. Laser flare meter...
Visual and refractive outcomes and complications in FLACS versus CPS cataract surgery
This is a randomised, controlled study of 110 paired eyes from 55 patients that were randomised into either femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) or conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery (CPS) groups. Visual, refractive outcomes, intraocular pressure (IOP) and complications were compared...
Outcomes of suture-less vs. sutured wound closure for paediatric cataract surgery
In this study the authors aimed to compare the incidence of postoperative complications between cases of suture-less and sutured wound closure in paediatric cataract surgery. This was a retrospective study of children aged <18 years and included 116 eyes of...
Optical coherence tomography angiography usability in measuring iris vasculature in strabismus surgery
The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) as a screening tool for anterior segment ischemia (ASI) in strabismus surgery. Optical coherence tomography angiography measurements were taken in 18 subjects. Twelve were...
Corneal surface astigmatism changes after lateral rectus surgery
This prospective study evaluated astigmatic changes in children following lateral rectus surgery. The fellow unoperated eye was used as the control for assessment of anterior and posterior corneal surfaces. The study included 37 patients (74 eyes); 16 male, 21 female...
