Background: Different surgical treatment options are used to treat cataracts, such as Manual Small Incision Cataract surgery (MSICS) and Phacoemulsification. The present study compares the visual outcomes of phacoemulsification MSICS in senile cataract patients. Methodology: A quasi-experimental was conducted with 270 patients aged between 50 70. Patients diagnosed were included divided equally...

PURPOSE Oxidative damage to lens proteins is a major factor leading to cataract formation. It is of pathogenic importance to determine a threshold of protein oxidation over which opacification of the lens takes place. METHODS Sixty-two lenses extracted from patients affected by idiopathic senile, diabetic, or myopic cataract were studied. Clear lenses were obtained from subjects undergoing en...

Background: Oxidative stress is a condition where the balance between production and elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) disturbed. ROS can cause damage to various biomolecules, including DNA. DNA impair function survival cells, may contribute development cataracts. Several experimental studies have shown that oxidative involved in cataract formation by inducing lens cells.. are create...

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...

introduction: cataract is an opacified lens and senile cataract is a common disorder. it is desirable to reduce intraocular pressure (iop) in order to minimize intra and post operative difficulties and complications. many researches have studied the effects of muscle relaxants on iop. comparison effect of atracurium and pancuronium on iop has been evaluated in one study with a small sample size...

A study of hospital discharge diagnoses from both national data and data from a local medical centre indicates that diabetes substantially increases the probability of cataract extraction at age 40-49, about doubles or triples the probability for age 50-69, and has little effect on risk at age 70 and over. Strengths and weaknesses of the data are discussed. Other reports, generally estimating a...

purpose: to evaluate the incidence of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (xfs) in patients with senile cataract who were scheduled for phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation (pe + iol) and to compare the outcomes of pe+iol between eyes with and without xfs. method: we retrospectively reviewed 2200 eyes with cataract undergoing pe + iol. all procedures were performed by a single surgeon (...
