A 68-year-old woman, who underwent radial keratotomy treatment years prior, presented with a significant reduction in visual acuity due to a nuclear cataract in both eyes. The patient's uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 20/160 or worse in both eyes, while corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) improved
Cataract extraction
Office-based cataract surgery with oral sedation has been found to be a safe and efficient alternative to traditional hospital-based surgery. A study presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology analyzed 729 consecutive cataract surgeries and found that patients who received oral sedation had a mean time
Cataract extraction
Cataract patients with a history of refractive surgery present unique challenges for surgeons, with altered corneal optical properties, reduced predictability in intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations, and higher visual expectations. A recent review provides key principles for optimizing refractive accuracy and patient satisfaction in this population. The review discusses preoperative
Cataract extraction
A phase 4 clinical trial is currently underway to assess the safety and efficacy of oral sedation compared to traditional IV sedation for older adults undergoing cataract surgery. The trial, led by principal investigator Catherine L Chen, MD, MPH, aims to enroll 20 participants in the United States. The study
Cataract extraction
A recent study has shed light on patient perspectives on cataract surgery and sedation, revealing concerns about achieving the best surgical outcome and a strong preference for anesthesia-led sedation. However, the study also found that patients are open to considering sedation alternatives if provided with appropriate perioperative education and evidence
Cataract extraction
A recent study published in the INDIAN JOURNAL OF APPLIED RESEARCH has highlighted the challenges faced by underdeveloped nations in delivering cataract surgery, a cost-effective technique that greatly enhances the quality of life. According to the study, cataract is the primary cause of blindness globally, affecting millions of individuals worldwide.
Cataract extraction
Researchers from Sankara Eye Hospital in Karnataka, India, have investigated the possibility and feasibility of combining cataract extraction with oculoplastic procedures. The study involved 122 patients, aged 53 males and 69 females, who underwent simultaneous cataract and oculoplastic procedures. The researchers found that the combined procedure of ptosis under/over
