PURPOSE To describe nepafenac use in the Netherlands and Denmark with reference to its approved indications. For context, we also describe the use of ketorolac and diclofenac. METHODS We identified users in the PHARMO Database Network (the Netherlands, 2008-2013) and the Danish national health registers (Denmark, 1994-2014). We described prevalence of cataract surgery and duration of use in p...

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. Fortunately, cataract-induced blindness is reversible by cataract surgery. In addition to reclaiming lost vision, cataract surgery lowers intraocular pressure, but the reason for this remains unclear. Understanding the mechanism behind intraocular pressure reduction following cataract surgery has implication for treating glaucoma, which invo...

There has been a slower uptake of ambulatory cataract surgery in the UK than the USA. We believe the primary aim of ambulatory cataract surgery is improved patient care. This prospective study assessed the perceptions and individual characteristics of patients undergoing ambulatory cataract surgery. This study demonstrates that 97.7% of patients undergoing ambulatory cataract surgery recommend ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the cumulative probability of cataract surgery and factors accounting for such surgery. METHODS Respondents to the Asset and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old survey, a national longitudinal panel, were interviewed in 1998, 2000, and 2002 to determine whether they had undergone cataract extraction since the previous interview (N = 8363 in 1998). Multivariate analysis...

PURPOSE To investigate recent evidence in prophylaxis and management of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis. METHODS We conducted a literature search using Pubmed database for post cataract surgery endophthalmitis, and relevant articles were selected from original English papers published since 2015. RESULTS Forty-nine articles were published regarding post-cataract surgery endophthalmiti...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the timing of cataract surgery after trabeculectomy has an effect on trabeculectomy function in terms of intraocular pressure control. METHODS This was a cohort study nested within a randomized clinical trial. There were 235 participants with glaucoma who had a single previous trabeculectomy augmented with either intraoperative 5-fluorouracil or placebo. Catarac...

Background: Cataract surgery lens implantation is the most common eye surgery that good quality of operation can help good visual outcome. One of the most common complication following cataract surgery is uveitis that usualy occur in first few weeks after operation. The aim of the present study was to compare the incidence of the post operative uveitis between viscoelastic substance and air in...

The authors present systematic review of aetiology and treatment of diplopia related to cataract surgery. The problem is set in the modern perspective of changing cataract surgery. Actual incidence is discussed as well as various modalities of therapeutic options. The authors provide the guidance for the contemporary cataract surgeon, when to expect potential problem in ocular motility after ca...
