Contact diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation is useful in eyes with refractory glaucoma in which the risks of outflow surgery are deemed unacceptable.
The ICRS was safe for correction of low to moderate myopia. Severe postoperative visual symptoms were rare, and patient satisfaction was high. The refractive correction was largely reversible.
Bacteria entered the anterior chamber during cataract extraction and remained there at the end of surgery in a significant percentage of patients. Surgical technique, preoperative antibiotics, and preoperative lacrimal system irrigation had no statistically significant effect on contamination.
Lamellar channel deposits occurred frequently after Intacs implantation. The incidence and density of deposits increased with segment thickness and duration of implantation. The presence of this material did not result in alteration of the optical performance of Intacs or anatomical or physiological corneal deterioration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
