BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of cataracts on the flicker electroretinograms (ERGs) recorded with the RETeval™ system under mydriatic-free conditions. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 82 eyes of 60 patients with cataracts and 52 eyes of 38 patients who were pseudophakic. Flicker ERGs were recorded with the RETeval™ system (LKC Technologies, Gaithers...

The relationship between retinal detachment and posterior lens capsule rupture in pseudophakic patients was studied. Records of patients with pseudophakic retinal detachment who were admitted to Siriraj Hospital from 1992 to 2004 were reviewed. The patients were divided into 2 main groups: 1) The study group (pseudophakic retinal detachment) 79 eyes (78 cases) which was subdivided into group 1a...

We investigated pseudophakic residual astigmatism in order to minimize postoperative refractive astigmatism. We examined 110 eyes of 87 patients who had undergone phacoemulsification with small incision and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Corneal astigmatism was measured using an autokeratometer (RK-5, canon), refractive astigmatism by manifest refraction, and residual as...

We present cases of primary open angle glaucoma patients without previous history of pseudoexfoliation who developed pseudoexfoliative materials on the anterior surface of the intraocular lens after cataract surgery. Among 5 unilateral pseudophakic pseudoexfoliation cases, 3 showed a more advanced state of glaucoma in the affected eye. The other 2 cases showed progression of glaucoma in the aff...

We retrospectively evaluated the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of 20 pseudophakic retinal detachment (RD) patients (20 eyes) and 17 aphakic RD patients (17 eyes). Males were predominated in both groups. The time interval between cataract extraction and RD was 31 months on average in the pseudophakic group, 32 months with intact posterior capsule and 27 months with ruptured post...

PURPOSE To assess the change in ocular surface temperature between healthy phakic and pseudophakic patients. METHODS We included patients with no history of ocular disease other than cataract. Patients were divided into three groups: clear lens, cataract, and pseudophakic. All patients had two ocular surface digital thermal scans. An average of five surface points was used as the mean ocular ...

ABSTRACT Purpose: To investigate intraocular pressure peaks in phakic and pseudophakic patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. Method: Overall, 40 glaucoma were assessed. Of these, 20 pseudophakic. One eye (randomly selected) was included the study. All underwent curves test, followed by water-drinking test. Results: A statistically significant difference observed between regarding mean of (...

INTRODUCTION Before the era of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment, only prevention for visual loss might have been achieved in a limited number of neovascular age-related macular generation (nAMD) patients with different treatment options. OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) for the treatment of nAMD between phakic and ps...

the purpose of this study was to compare the anatomic and visual outcome of primary vitrectomy with scleral buckling in patients with retinal detachment following cataract surgery. fifty-six consecutive patients with retinal detachment after cataract surgery were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: standard scleral buckling and standard three-port deep vitrectomy. successful treatment wa...
