Mingmu Dihuang Tang plus conventional treatment improved visual acuity and reduced complications in elderly cataract patients
Trial shows Mingmu Dihuang Tang plus Western medicine improves cataract markers
This randomized controlled trial enrolled 120 elderly patients with cataract.
Adding Mingmu Dihuang Tang to standard care improved antioxidant levels and vision recovery in elderly patients with cataracts.
Chatbot plus brochures did not improve cataract knowledge or anxiety vs brochures alone
A Chatbot Fails to Beat Brochures for Cataract Info
This pilot randomized controlled trial of 64 cataract surgery patients compared standard brochures plus a hospital-specific chatbot (Mina) t…
A new chatbot for cataract surgery patients did not teach them more than simple brochures and struggled with older users.
Ln-AISI, Ln-NAR, and Ln-MAR biomarkers linked to cataract surgery history in NHANES and clinical cohort
Inflammatory markers linked to cataract surgery history in large population study
This cohort study involving 8,194 NHANES participants and a clinical cohort examined inflammatory and nutritional biomarkers.
Higher levels of specific inflammatory markers were found in people who had cataract surgery, suggesting a potential link to the condition.
Hybrid EDF intraocular lens matches monofocal for distance, improves intermediate and near vision
New Lens Gives You Clear Vision From Far To Near
In a prospective single-center comparative study, 37 eyes received the AM2UH hybrid extended depth-of-focus IOL and 36 eyes received the AW-…
A new hybrid lens offers clear distance and near vision without needing reading glasses after cataract surgery.
Phacoemulsification with IOL implantation shows higher IOL prediction error in Chinese PACG patients
Why Some Glaucoma Patients Still Need Glasses After Cataract Surgery
An observational study of 165 Chinese primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) patients and 53 cataract patients found that PACG patients had s…
Eye shape changes after glaucoma surgery can cause blurry vision post-cataract surgery, but new research identifies key measurements to impr…
Simulator training improves surgical scores and reduces complications in cataract surgery training
Can a surgical simulator train eye surgeons better than animal eyes?
A small RCT of 10 ophthalmologists in a hospital training program compared HelpMeSee simulator training to pig eye training for cataract sur…
Eye surgeons trained on a high-tech simulator performed cataract operations faster and with less swelling than those who practiced on animal…
Smoking, aging, and CRP levels associated with cataract and AMD comorbidity risk in 640 participants
Study links smoking and aging to higher risk of cataract and macular degeneration
This retrospective case-control study evaluated risk factors for cataract and age-related macular degeneration comorbidity in 640 participan…
Smoking combined with aging exponentially raises the risk of developing both cataracts and macular degeneration in people over 75.
Regression-based keratometric prediction models showed refractive performance comparable to postoperative keratometry in pterygium and cataract cases
You Can Predict Your Glasses Needs After Pterygium Surgery
This retrospective cohort analysis evaluated 20 unilateral eyes undergoing staged cataract surgery following pterygium excision.
A new math model predicts eye shape after pterygium surgery just as well as waiting for post-op scans, helping doctors plan vision needs bef…
Smaller corneal incision linked to greater incisional thickening in cataract surgery for hard nuclei
Smaller Cuts May Slow Early Eye Healing
A retrospective cohort study of 100 eyes with hard cataracts compared 2.2 mm and 2.6 mm corneal incisions.
Smaller 2.2 mm cuts in hard cataract surgery don't save ultrasound energy or speed up early eye healing compared to 2.6 mm incisions.
Phacoemulsification with endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation lowers IOP and medication needs versus phaco alone in PACG with cataract
Combined glaucoma and cataract surgery shows modest pressure benefit in small study
This randomized controlled trial enrolled 66 patients with primary angle closure glaucoma and cataract.
Adding a laser treatment to cataract surgery lowered eye pressure and reduced medication needs for patients with a specific type of glaucoma…
Review describes reverse optic capture technique for IOL fixation in complex cataract surgery
Review describes reverse optic capture technique for complex cataract surgery cases
A review article describes the reverse optic capture (ROC) surgical technique for intraocular lens fixation in complex cataract surgery case…
Surgeons use reverse optic capture to fix lenses when the eye's back capsule breaks or lenses twist out of place.
