Health-related quality of life after cataract surgery
This prospective study evaluates the impact of cataract surgery on subjects’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measured with a 15-dimension generic instrument, the 15D. The HRQoL of cataract subjects was compared with that of an age- and gender-standardised sample of...
RCT of IOL type
The optical performance of pseudophakic eyes were compared after implantation of spherical and aspheric IOLs in paediatric patients after cataract surgery. This randomised controlled trial included 40 eyes of 23 patients: 20 eyes in each group. Follow-up was over three...
Treatment of infantile cataract with secondary IOLs

Changes in C:D ratio of premature infants with enlarged C:D ratios
This retrospective observational study examined the longitudinal alterations in cup to disc ratio (CDR) among premature infants exhibiting enlarged CDR and normal intraocular pressure (IOP) up to two years. Among the 283 infants, 13.4% manifested an enlarged CDR. In this...
Sleep positions and the effect on IOP
The authors describe a study to determine if sleeping at a 20 degree head up position decreases nocturnal IOP compared with lying supine in patients with and without glaucoma. They recruited 30 patients (60 eyes) 15 with glaucoma and 15...
Comparison of five IOL formula for paediatric eyes
