PURPOSE To determine whether there is a significant association between prior cataract surgery and cognitive function in an elderly Japanese cohort. SETTING Nara Medical University, Nara, Japan. DESIGN The Fujiwara-kyo Eye Study was a cross-sectional epidemiological study. METHODS The subjects were ≥ 68-years who lived in the Nara Prefecture and responded to recruitment notices. All of th...

The purpose of this study is to describe and evaluate the success rate of combined glaucoma and small cataract surgery by means of a one-site versus two-site approach. Fifty-eight eyes of fifty-five patients undergoing combined surgery were operated: thirty-one eyes underwent two-site approach and twenty-seven eyes underwent one-site approach. Short term and long term mean intraocular pressure ...

PURPOSE Modern cataract surgery is generally considered to bring about modest and sustained intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction. However, the pathophysiological mechanism for this remains unclear. Moreover, a change in ocular biomechanical properties after surgery can affect the measurement of IOP. The aim of the study is to investigate ocular biomechanics, before and following cataract surger...

We report a case of 47 year old male patient with Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis and cataract in left eye who developed hyphema after peri-bulbar block for surgery. The Amsler like Sign. It appeared few minutes Peri-bulbar following digital massage before any instrumentation the globe. Surgery was post-poned to rule out globe perforation or other pathology Anterior Chamber bleed. All possibl...

The need for cataract surgery is expected to rise dramatically in the future due to the increasing proportion of elderly citizens and increasing demands for optimum visual function. The aim of this study was to provide an evidence-based recommendation for the indication of cataract surgery based on which group of patients are most likely to benefit from surgery. A systematic literature search w...

BACKGROUND Cataract is the most common cause of blindness, responsible for 50 to 80% of all blindness in South-East Asia. Method of cataract surgery that has cost-effective, low technology procedure and a low complication rate in the shortest amount of time is needed. This study provides the useful resources comparing clinical outcomes and cost of phacoemulsification (PE) and manual small incis...

AIM To evaluate factors associated with the development of strabismus after cataract extraction and primary intraocular lens implantation. METHODS The medical records of 122 patients, aged 1.5mo to 9y, who had undergone cataract extraction with primary intraocular lens implantation between January 1993 and August 2011 were reviewed. Fourteen patients (17 eyes) with strabismus before cataract ...

The problem of cataract management in the patients of glaucoma who have undergone fltering surgery is a challenging proposition for any surgeon, as the surgery can lead to several complications in the already compromised eye. As glaucoma requires lifelong management, the development of cataract is a significant concern because its treatment may lead to loss of intraocular pressure (IOP) control...
