“…Cataract, one of the most common eye diseases (1) and the leading cause of blindness worldwide (2), accounts for 47.8% of the global burden of blindness, representing more than 20 million people worldwide (3). The disease presents a significant public health challenge and is responsible for a visual acuity (VA) of 6/60 or worse in more than 100 million eyes (4).…”

“…In the present study, 80 eyes of 77 patients separated into two groups, group (A) experienced cataract extraction using phacoemulsification and group (B) underwent with manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS), comparison of demographic data and associated systemic diseases of both groups were summarized in table (1). In group (A) there was a significant difference between preoperative UCVA and each of first week, first month, and third month postoperative UCVA.…”

“…As it is accounted for 50% of global burden of blindness, cataract is considered as the leading cause of preventable visual impairment worldwide (1) . In developing nations, where cataract represents a socioeconomic burden, phacoemulsification remains an expensive modality of its management and the main bulk of the population find it unaffordable (2) .…”

Background: Phacoemulsification has become the routine procedure for cataract extraction for most of the surgeons because of its smaller incision and rapid visual rehabilitation. Also, manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) with its sutureless relatively smaller incision, compared to conventional extracapsular cataract extraction, has similar advantages to phacoemulsification in addition to its lower risk to corneal endothelium especially in hard cataracts and elder patients. Objective: To compare the effect of phacoemulsification and small incision cataract surgery on corneal topography in a prospective randomized study. Patients and methods: 80 eyes were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (40 eyes) underwent phacoemulsification and Group B (40 eyes) underwent MSICS. Both groups were studied preoperatively and postoperatively regarding uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), keratometry, and corneal topography. Results: There was a significant difference between preoperative and postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) during the follow up period (p value < 0.001) among both study groups. There was no significant difference in preoperative as well as postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) or between preoperative and postoperative IOP values in both study groups. There was significant increase in the mean central corneal thickness during first postoperative week in both studied groups (p value <0.001). In MSICS group there was minimal significant increase in astigmatism within the first weak and first month of follow up (p value 0.041). Conclusion: Cataract surgery using phacoemulsification or small incision cataract surgery was found to yield excellent visual results with no significant difference as regards to central corneal thickness, keratometric readings, and postoperative astigmatism or perioperative complications.

Introdução: A retinopatia diabética é uma severa complicação recorrente do diabetes 1 e 2, afastá-la exige um acompanhamento médico enérgico e uma atenção principalmente para o controle de seus fatores de risco. Objetivo: Identificar fatores de risco para retinopatia diabética a partir de publicações recentes em base de dados diversas. Metodologia: Pesquisa retrospectiva, não-sistemática das bases de dados Lilacs, SciELO e Pubmed empregando os termos “retinopatia diabética”, “diabetes mellitus”, “fatores de risco”, “nefropatia diabética”, “glaucoma”, “catarata”, “miopia”, “controle glicêmico”, “hipertensão”, “dislipidemia”, “obesidade”, “gestação” e seus equivalentes em língua inglesa. Resultados: Os principais fatores de risco elegidos foram divididos em seções didáticas e explanados para melhor elucidação do tema. Conclusão: Fatores de risco para retinopatia diabética há algumas décadas são discutidos e avaliados em diversas pesquisas por diferentes regiões e mostram resultados confluentes em todo mundo. Palavras-chave: Diabetes Mellitus, Retinopatia diabética, Fatores de risco. ABSTRACT Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy is a severe recurrent complication of diabetes 1 and 2, moving it away requires vigorous medical monitoring and attention primarily to control of its risk factors. Objective: To identify risk factors for diabetic retinopathy from recent publications in a variety of databases. Methods: Non-systematic search of Lilacs, SciELO and Pubmed databases using the terms "diabetic retinopathy", "diabetes mellitus", "risk factors", "diabetic nephropathy", "glaucoma", "cataract", "myopia", "Glycemic control", "hypertension", "dyslipidemia", "obesity", "gestation" And their equivalents in English. Results: The main risk factors chosen were divided into didactic sections and explanations to better elucidate the theme. Conclusion: Risk factors for diabetic retinopathy for some decades are discussed and evaluated in several researches by different regions and show confluent results worldwide. Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetic retinopathy, Risk factors.
