OSD is prevalent among medically treated patients with glaucoma. The severity of OSD symptoms is positively correlated to the number of IOP-lowering medications used.
Compared with non-fixed combinations, fixed-combination glaucoma therapies provide various demonstrated benefits (similar IOP-lowering efficacy with reduced exposure to preservatives and risk of preservative-related ocular surface disease symptoms, elimination of washout associated with insufficient time separation of instillations and reduced number of total instillations). Further, due to simplification of the instillation regimen, fixed combinations may improve treatment adherence and persistence, thereby improving stability of IOP control over time.
C ataract extraction is one of the most common intraocular procedures ophthalmology residents perform in the course of their training. Assessing and analysing the complications related to cataract surgery can be a valuable tool to benchmark performance and to help a residency programme improve resident surgical training.Phacoemulsification has become the preferred technique for cataract surgery, although reports suggest a higher rate of complications than with extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) or intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE) techniques.
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.
