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...

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...

BACKGROUND To determine the impact of cataract surgery on vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) and examine the association between objective visual measures and change in VRQOL after surgery among bilateral cataract patients in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. METHODS A cohort of older patients with bilateral cataract was assessed one week before and one to three months after first eye or both ey...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of sutureless cataract surgery using a clear corneal incision in canine cataract surgery. Sutured cataract surgery was compared with sutureless cataract surgery in terms of the refractive error, the alteration of intraocular pressure (IOP) over 28 days post-operatively, and neovascularization on the cornea. An average of 1.33 ± 0.58 D astigmatism was induc...

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical determinants of cataract and cataract surgery in Korean population. The 2008-2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was analyzed, which included 20,419 participants aged ≥ 40 years. The survey is a multistage, probability-cluster survey, which can produce nationally representative estimates. Prevalence of cataract...

AIM To examine the impact of bilateral or unilateral cataract surgery on visual functioning. METHODS The Singapore Malay Eye Study is a population-based study of 3280 Singapore Malay patients aged 40-80 years, of which 3225 had data available for inclusion. Cataracts were graded from digital lens photographs according to the Wisconsin scale. Study subjects were categorised as having: bilatera...
