Recognising ‘high-risk’ eyes before cataract surgery
Certain eyes are at a higher risk of complication during cataract surgery. Operations on such ‘high-risk’ eyes are also more likely to yield a poor visual outcome (defined as best corrected vision less than 6/60 after surgery).1 Learning to recognise when eyes are at greater risk, and acting accordingly, will help you to avoid complications. Even so, before the operation takes place, it is good...
متن کاملCorneal thickness and endothelial density before and after cataract surgery.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Deturgescence of the corneal stroma is controlled by the pumping action of the endothelial layer and can be monitored by measurement of central corneal thickness (pachymetry). Loss or damage of endothelial cells leads to an increase in corneal thickness, which may ultimately induce corneal decompensation and loss of vision. Little is known about the effect of moderate reductions...
متن کاملSubjective quality of vision before and after cataract surgery.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of cataract surgery on subjective quality of vision. METHODS The Quality of Vision (QoV) questionnaire (Italian translation) was completed before and 3 months after cataract surgery in 4 groups of patients recruited from September through December 2010: first eye with ocular comorbidity, first eye without ocular comorbidity, second eye with ocular comorbidi...
متن کاملEndophthalmitis: controlling infection before and after cataract surgery
Endophthalmitis is a rare, but serious, postoperative complication of cataract surgery. It can have a devastating consequence on a patient’s vision: some patients may lose all light perception. The incidence of endophthalmitis has been reported to be between 0.13% and 0.7%.1 The primary source of this intraocular infection is considered to be bacteria from the patient’s ocular surface (cornea, ...
متن کاملCorneal aberrations before and after small-incision cataract surgery.
PURPOSE To study the effect of small-incision cataract surgery on the optical aberrations of the cornea. METHODS Corneal topography was measured before and after cataract surgery on 70 eyes of 70 patients. Monofocal foldable IOLs were implanted after phacoemulsification through a clear-cornea, 3.5-mm incision without suture. Corneal aberrations, up to the fifth order and 6-mm pupil, were calc...
