PURPOSE To compare the change in ocular axial length of the pseudophakic eye versus the fellow eye in children with bilateral cataracts who had surgery in only one eye. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, 50 eyes of 25 children with bilateral lamellar cataracts were analyzed. A complete ophthalmic examination and evaluation of axial length measurements by contact ultrasound biometry wer...

Purpose. This study aims to compare the accuracy of intraocular lens power calculation formulas in eyes with long axial lengths from Chinese patients subjected to cataract surgery. Methods. A total of 148 eyes with an axial length of >26 mm from 148 patients who underwent phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation were included. The Haigis, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, and SRK/T formulas w...

PURPOSE To study the 24-hour changes in axial length, lens thickness, and anterior chamber depth in rabbits and to examine the role of ocular sympathetic activity on these changes. METHODS Young adult rabbits were entrained to a daily 12-hour light-12-hour dark cycle. Axial length, lens thickness, and anterior chamber depth were measured using ultrasonic techniques. In the first group of 12 r...

BACKGROUND To examine histomorphometrically the parapapillary region in human eyes. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The histomorphometric study included 65 human globes (axial length:21-37 mm). On anterior-posterior histological sections, we measured the distance Bruch's membrane end (BME)-optic nerve margin ("Gamma zone"), BME-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) ("Beta zone"), BME-beginning of n...

PURPOSE To investigate changes of the axial length in normal eyes and highly myopic eyes and influence of myopic macular complications in Japanese adults. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective longitudinal case series. METHODS The changes in the axial length of 316 eyes from 316 patients (mean age, 63.8 ± 9.0 years; range, 34-82; 240 females) examined using IOLMaster with a follow-up period of at leas...

OBJECTIVE To assess associations between the aqueous humour concentration of interleukin IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and IL-12p, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and axial length in eyes with cataract. METHODS The hospital-based investigation included patients who underwent cataract surgery between March 2014 and April 2014. Using aqueous humour colle...
