The success rate of LASIK is impressive, with the majority of patients achieving their desired visual outcomes. Studies have shown that over 95% of patients achieve 20/40 vision or better, and a significant percentage achieve 20/20 or better. These statistics highlight the efficacy of LASIK in...
We are gradually improving surgical complication and Visual Acuity outcomes. Examining the statistics for best PO visual acuity can be confusing to the lay public. One major problem with predicting visual acuity outcomes for cataract surgery based on previous studies, is that the data is affected by...
When non-drug treatments have failed, surgery can be a lifesaver. However, there is scant evidence that surgical intervention is the most effective treatment for body pain. When non-invasive methods have failed, surgical intervention may be considered. Incredibly counterintuitive as it may seem, exe...
Hill’s approach, which harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI), drove the ±0.50 D surgical success rate to 90%. Lessons from the Automotive Industry Hill realized that a completely novel way to calculate the lens power was needed. “Ophthalmologists know a lot about eye surgery,...
Methods Data was collected from 12/2007 to 02/2012 in this retrospective, non-randomized, comparative single surgery center study. Reduction in IOP and hypotensive medication (AGD), change in visual acuity, success rates, and complications were computed by comparing preoperative data with data at ...
Cataract surgery Cataracts should be removed when they interfere with vision for everyday activities. Cataract surgery is common. More than 1.5 million cataract surgeries are performed in the United States each year. The success rate for cataract surgery is about 98%. ...
The primary outcome is the proportion of patients in both treatment groups with a postoperative refraction in the second eye that deviates ≤1.0 D from target refraction 4 weeks after cataract surgery of the second eye. This is an accepted norm to define success in terms of refractive outcomes ...
If decisions on health care spending are to be as rational and objective as possible, knowledge on cost-effectiveness of routine care is essential. Our aim, therefore, was to evaluate the cost-utility of routine cataract surgery in a real-world setting.
Outcome measures included the final anatomical success rate, operation time, culture result, postoperative BCVA, and presence of surgical complications. We used the value of logMAR BCVA to calculate BCVA improvement. All analyses were carried out using SPSS statistics 22.0. p < 0.05 was considered ...
All rights reserved.Introduction: Intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation, based on ocular biometry, is a determinant for the success of cataract surgery. Objectives: To characterize the ocular biometric parameters of Colombian patients over 40 years of age who are candidates for cataract surgery ...
