IOL cataract surgery 7-24 months
The purpose of this study was to present the long-term outcome of IOLs in paediatric patients who received cataract surgery aged seven to <24 months. This was retrospective study with minimum follow-up of 12 months for 27 patients (28 eyes)....
Pentacam vs. IOL Master keratometry measurement in IOL power calculations
The IOL Master measures only the anterior corneal curvature and estimates the total corneal power by assuming a fixed relationship between the anterior and posterior corneal surface. The Pentacam measures both the anterior and posterior corneal surface and therefore calculates...
High myopes with POAG and IOP fluctuations
The authors describe a prospective study of 80 eyes of Chinese patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) on prostaglandin analogues to investigate if those who also have high myopia exhibit greater short-term intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations at resting conditions over...
Two bifocals and a trifocal
The authors compare the optical outcomes of two bifocal intraocular lenses (AcrySof ReSTOR +2.50 Diopter [D] add +3.0D add) with a trifocal lens (AT LISA tri 839MP). The optical qualities of the lenses were quantified by measuring the modulation transfer...
Rotational stability of angle supported phakic IOL
The authors evaluate 50 eyes of 28 patients that underwent an angle fixated phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation (Acrysof Cachet). All eyes had moderate to high myopia (-5.25 to-19.63 dioptres) and IOL sizing was performed as per the manufacturer’s recommendation....
Effect of phacoemulsification on facility of outflow
This is a prospective study to examine the change in electronic Schotz tonographic outflow (TOF) and IOP measurements after phacoemulsification. Intraocular pressure was measured using Goldman‘s applanation tonography (GAT). Data were collected at baseline, three, six and 12 months postoperatively....
Predictors for developing strabismus after paediatric cataract surgery
This study investigates the predictors for strabismus development in patients with paediatric cataract and their final visual acuity. The aim was to improve the treatment of both deprivation and strabismic amblyopia after surgery. The study included 46 children; 21 male,...In conversation with Professor Rubens Belfort (2018)
We caught up with Professor Belfort at the 2018 Royal College of Ophthalmologists Annual Congress to discuss his Duke Elder Oration on ‘Classic, emergent and unknown intraocular infectious diseases'. Click the image below to see his answers to our questions.
The Eye in History
Amongst the numerous texts that are available, one occasionally encounters a history of ophthalmology. There is such rapid development of technology in recent years and one can get drawn into the minutiae of a particular subject, losing track of the...
