PURPOSE To determine whether dizziness and falls rates change due to routine cataract surgery and to determine the influence of spectacle type and refractive factors. METHODS Self-reported dizziness and falls were determined in 287 patients (mean age of 76.5 ± 6.3 years, 55% females) before and after routine cataract surgery for the first (81, 28%), second (109, 38%) and both eyes (97, 34%). ...

Background: To study dry eye following phacoemulsification surgery
 Methods: This prospective observational was performed after selecting 100 consecutive patients over 45 years of age with senile cataract, without preexisting and other ocular disorders.
 Results: All the tests preoperatively postoperatively showed incidence to be 10.00%.
 Conclusion: We concluded that cataract su...

PURPOSE To compare the astigmatism, high order aberrations, and optical quality of the cornea after microincision (approximately 1.7 mm) versus small incision approximately 3.2 mm) cataract surgery at Eye Center, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. METHODS This prospective, randomized clinical study included microincision cataract surgery and small incision cataract surgery performed on 60 ...

purpose : to study optical coherence tomography (oct) findings in high myopic patients with the history of uncomplicated cataract surgery methods : the sample included 34 eyes of 24 highly myopic patients with an axial length (al) of 26 mm or more and a spherical equivalent (se) of 8.0 diopter (d) or more who had uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract surgery. octs were done in multiple sec...

PURPOSE To describe visual acuity (VA) and inflammation following cataract surgery in eyes with noninfectious posterior uveitis (NIPU) that were being treated with a fluocinolone acetonide (FA) intravitreal implant compared with those that were not. DESIGN Post hoc, subgroup analysis of data from a 3-year, dose-masked, randomized, multicenter trial evaluating the FA implant for the treatment ...

BACKGROUND Driving a car is the most common form of transport among the older population. Common medical conditions such as cataract, increase with age and impact on the ability to drive. To compensate for visual decline, some cataract patients may self-regulate their driving while waiting for cataract surgery. However, little is known about the self-regulation practices of older drivers throug...
