Is lens constant optimisation for IOLMaster indispensable in order to achieve a good refractive outcome?

A study of refractive outcomes following cataract surgery was carried out with the aim of comparing the postoperative refractive outcomes against Royal College of Ophthalmologists standards and to determine the extent of association between accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power...

Visual acuity outcomes after cataract surgery in type 2 diabetes (NIDDM): the action to control cardiovascular risk in diabetes (ACCORD) study

This is a retrospective case-control study of 1136 eyes enrolled in the 784 ACCORD patients receiving cataract surgery between 2001-2014. 362 / 1136 eyes had gradable fundus photography for diabetic retinopathy (DR). Seven hundred and sixty-two eyes (67.1%) achieved 20...

Refractive surprise after cataract surgery caused by posterior capsular striae

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]...

Comparison of outcomes of bilateral cataract surgery across different age groups

The authors present a retrospective records review of children who had bilateral cataract surgery between the ages of two and seven years of age over a 23-year period. Children with other ocular pathology and prior surgery were excluded. A minimum...

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....

Cataract surgery in uveitis

This is a multicentre study of eight UK independent sites of patients with uveitis, undergoing cataract surgery between January 2010 and December 2014. A total of 1173 eyes were compared with a control reference group of 95,573 eyes from the...

Implantation of diffractive trifocal intraocular lens

This study reports on 60 eyes of 120 patients who underwent routine cataract surgery followed by implantation of the trifocal IOL model Lisa tri-839MP. This is a diffractive trifocal preloaded IOL with no interruption at the haptic-optic junction, 360 degrees...

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...

Influence of overall intraocular lens diameter on rotational stability

It has been shown that approximately one in three patients undergoing cataract surgery have >1.0D corneal astigmatism and managing this during surgery is important to achieve good refractive outcomes. One of the widely used ways of reducing preoperative astigmatism during...

Randomised trial of multifocal intraocular lens versus monovision

The authors report on a randomised, multicentre clinical trial comparing the outcomes of Tecnis ZM900 diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (IOL) versus monovision with Akreos AO monofocal IOL (dominant eye targeted for emmetropia and non-dominant eye targeted for -1 to -1.50...

1/3 UK considering laser eye surgery but majority unaware it's non-reversible and affects night vision

National eye health survey shows a third of UK are considering laser eye surgery but vast majority are unaware it is non-reversible and how it can affect night vision.
