The incidence of both cataract and glaucoma is increasing globally. With patient expectation improved technology, premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), including presbyopia-correcting toric IOLs, are being increasingly implanted today. However, concerns remain regarding the use particularly in eyes with glaucoma. This systematic review evaluates IOLs A comprehensive search MEDLINE database was per...

BACKGROUND The expectations of post-removal cataract surgery patients are extremely high, and best vision acuity is expected. The best refractive results are influenced by two factors - cataract surgical removal and the corneal astigmatism correction. Currently, the two most often applied corneal astigmatism removal methods are laser surgery and toric intraocular lens implantation, with the lat...

This article aims to comprehensively describe a particular case of bilateral intraocular subluxated lens with pseudoexfoliation syndrome in Moroccan woman homocystinuria. We report 56-year-old patient who has cataractous along whitish deposits. The association PEX hyperhomocysteinemia rarely been found. It worsens the lenses' zonular stability and causes multiple complications.

We have demonstrated, with an in vitro model, that Staphylococcus epidermidis is able to colonise intraocular lenses. Adherent organisms were quantitated by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and viable counting. Bacterial adherence was associated with production of a polysaccharide glycocalyx. Organisms which were attached to the lenses were resistant to apparently bactericidal co...

The piggyback method of implanting two intraocular lenses in one eye has been successfully expanded to address pseudophakic refractive error in normal eyes and eyes that have undergone post-penetrating keratoplasty. Piggyback implantation has been combined with the use of newly available minus-power lenses to provide appropriate power for a cataract patient with keratoconus, as well as to corre...

Providing improved health care for wound, burn and surgical patients is a major goal for enhancing patient well-being, in addition to reducing the high cost of current health care treatment. The introduction of new and novel biomaterials and biomedical devices is anticipated to have a profound effect on the future improvement of many deleterious health issues. This publication will discuss the ...
