CONCLUSIONS: Routine review on the first post-operative day following uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract surgery could safely be withdrawn. A single post-operative review at 1-2 weeks after surgery would then be required, supplemented by patient-initiated post-operative review in the interim....
Visual measures including visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and stereopsis were assessed 1 week before and 12 weeks after first eye cataract surgery. Vision-related quality of life was measured using the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire. Depressive symptoms were assessed by...
No statistical differences in pain scores were observed for the postoperative period after laser in situ keratomileusis [18]. One possible guess: Once the first eye surgery completed, patients could expect similar series of process during the second eye surgery. This anticipation can potentially ...
The SE one day postoperatively was greater in the second KLEx group than in the first KLEx group (P = 0.011), whereas the SE three months postoperatively was similar between the two groups (P = 0.552) (Table 2). The degree of residual astigmatism one day after surgery was ...
Patients were randomised 1:1:1:1 to aflibercept 2 mg every 4 weeks (2q4), aflibercept 2 mg every 8 weeks (after three initial doses; 2q8), aflibercept 0.5 mg every 4 weeks (0.5q4) or ranibizumab 0.5 mg every 4 weeks (Rq4). Treatment continued to week 52.7 From weeks...
After three months of starting the adalimumab dose of 20 milligrams (mg) every two weeks, there was a dramatic reduction of eye infammation, and prednisolone was ta- pered and weaned of. Te frequency of adalimumab injections was spaced every three weeks. She has regular follow-ups with an ...
A safety audit was undertaken after the completion of 1000 cases by the 2 nurses. This was a retrospective audit of the first 1000 intravitreal injection of dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex) delivered by nurse practitioners in a designated cleanroom meant for providing intravitreal injections. The ...
rMe.aMgnaigfi-- Five weeks after cataract surgery, the patient presented with blurred vision and ocular pain. BCVA was 0.05 in his left eye, with an IOP of 32 mmHg. The corneal graft was transparent. A dens cellular exudate in the anterior chamber (Figure 12), fibrinous membrane on the ...
After the surgery, levofloxacin eye drops and prednisolone eye drops were instilled for about one week, then switched to sulfamethoxazole and fluorometholone eye drops for another three weeks. Artificial tears were utilized for two months after the surgery. 2.3. Ophthalmic Exam All the patients ...
However, diplopia can occur after cataract surgery in the absence of hyaluronidase, and it has been suggested that hyaluronidase may be useful in preventing local anesthetic-related damage to the extraocular muscles [54,55]. This was confirmed in a study of 940 consecutive phacoemulsification ...
