Optimising biometry for best outcomes in cataract surgery

Full OCT anterior segment biometry: an application in cataract surgery

In vivo three-dimensional (3-D) anterior segment biometry before and after cataract surgery was analyzed by using custom high-resolution high-speed anterior segment spectral domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). The system was provided with custom algorithms for denoising, segmentation, full distortion correction (fan and optical) and merging of the anterior segment volumes (cornea, iris, ...

Optical biometry using partial coherence interferometry prior to cataract surgery

Questionnaires for measuring cataract surgery outcomes.

Patient-reported outcome is an important part of the evaluation of a surgical procedure. Numerous questionnaires for patient's self-assessed activity limitation because of cataract have been published. The technique for constructing and evaluating questionnaires has changed over time. This review evaluates the psychometric properties of patient questionnaires that have been published since 1992...

Ethnic differences in lens parameters measured by ocular biometry in a cataract surgery population

PURPOSE To investigate whether differences exist in lens position and other lens parameters among major ethnic groups with cataractous eyes, which may help explain racial differences in angle closure risk. METHODS This retrospective, cross-sectional study included 807 adult patients who had cataract surgery between years 2014 and 2016 at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Adu...

Ocular biometry in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients undergoing cataract surgery.

Variations in ocular anatomy form the basis of understanding the development and management of ocular disease, and help to determine associations between anatomy and disease. Epidemiological studies have found associations between ocular anatomy and the pathogenesis of disease, such as higher rates of angle-closure glaucoma in Alaskan Eskimos and higher incidence of myopia in Chinese. A recent ...
