Throughout the follow-up, there was less PCO in the small capsulorhexis group than in the large capsulorhexis group. CONCLUSIONS.:Small capsulorhexes were associated with less wrinkling of the posterior capsule and less PCO than were large capsulorhexes. PCO after IOL implantation has a multifactored pathogenesis. Small (4.5 to 5.0 mm) capsulorhexis and capsular bag implantation of 5.5 mm acrylic IOL are likely to reduce the PCO incidence when compared with the 6.0 to 7.0 mm capsulorhexis. The significance of the IOL optic diameter in association with the capsulorhexis size should also be documented by further studies.
The IOP significantly increases during VM, whereas OPA remains stable. Strong autoregulatory mechanisms may provide consistent ocular perfusion in healthy subjects during VM.
ABSTRACT.Purpose: In this study, we aimed to compare the cycloplegic effect of cyclopentolate HCI 1% and atropine sulphate 1% in patients with refractive accommodative esotropia by means of retinoscopy, autorefractometer and the measurement of lens thickness by biometry. Methods: Thirty-two patients with refractive accommodative esotropia aged from 5 to 10 (mean 6.8∫1.4), had a deviation under 10 prism diopters, and underwent retinoscopic, autorefractometric and biometric study in dry and wet conditions.
Conclusions:We suggest that the cyclopentolate cycloplegia applied to the patients with refractive accommodative esotropia is sufficient to produce good cycloplegia, with an effect similar to atropine.
We observed an effective IOP reduction in eyes that had suture release both in the early and late postoperative periods after LSL and suture release. We believe that both the laserable and releasable suture techniques can be preferred to permanent sutures for closing scleral flaps in primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C in uncomplicated glaucoma.
Introduction: In recent years, an increasing number of studies have researched retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) changes in neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, our aim was to determine structural RNFL changes in patients with major depressive disorder. Methods: A total of 30 patients with major depressive disorder and 30 age-and sex-matched controls were recruited. Using optical coherence tomography (OCT), the peripapillary RNFL thickness in major depressive disorder patients and control subjects was measured and compared at each location. Results: Patients with major depressive disorder did not show a statistically significant reduction in overall peripapillary RNFL thickness. Conclusion: Our study showed that RNFL thickness is not reduced in major depressive disorder patients and that OCT is not a useful tool for diagnosing and monitoring the progression of major depressive disorder. This study suggests that the pathophysiology of unipolar depression is different than in neurodegenerative disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.
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.
