Light in darkness – manual small incision cataract surgery in India
Cataract has been documented to be the most significant cause of bilateral blindness in India, where vision <20/200 in the better eye on presentation is defined as blindness [1,2]. Estimation of blindness in India by the World Health Organization (WHO)...Refractive surprise after cataract surgery caused by posterior capsular striae

EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive, EYE - Imaging, EYE - General
Cataract removal with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in current clinical practice [1,2]. New microsurgical techniques and refined IOL power calculations allow excellent refractive outcomes. Refractive surprise following cataract surgery is uncommon [1-3]...
Nepafenac punctal plugs after cataract surgery: a new alternative?
The nepafenac punctal plug delivery system (N-PPDS) is an experimental L-shaped plug made of nonbiodegradable, preservative-free medical-grade silicone. It can deliver a sustained level of nepafenac for six weeks. This is a prospective, randomised, parallel-arm, double-masked, placebo-controlled, phase II pilot...Effect of cataract surgery on inflammation control and vision in uveitis patients

cataract surgery, phacoemulsification, uveitis, vision impairment
This retrospective longitudinal study from Moorfields, London, UK compared uveitis recurrence rates and vision loss in 309 eyes of uveitis patients post cataract surgery to 300 control uveitis patients. Cataract is a common complication associated with uveitis and leads to...

EYE - Glaucoma
In recent years there has been a rapid expansion in a group of operations termed ‘minimally invasive’ or ‘micro invasive’ glaucoma surgery (MIGS). These options generally offer less significant IOP reduction, but with a more favourable safety profile when compared...
How does cataract surgery affect eyes with wet AMD?
In this retrospective cohort study the authors’ primary objective was to assess whether cataract surgery in eyes with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), triggered its progression. The surgical group comprised of 40 eyes versus 42 eyes in the non-surgical control...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,...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...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...Topical nonsteroidal ant-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients undergoing cataract surgery

Postoperative inflammation, cataract surgery, diclofenac, laser flare meter, nepafenac
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...
