NeoSoniX ultrasound versus ultrasound alone for phacoemulsification: Randomized clinical trial
2332
Abhay R. Vasavada, MS, FRCS, Shetal M. Raj, MS, Yooi Chuyun Lee, MD In a prospective evaluation of 180 patients, NeoSoniX as an adjunct to ultrasound was effective in significantly reducing the delivery of energy to eyes during emulsification of all grades of cataract.
Effect of expanding the treatment zone of the Nidek EC-5000 laser on laser in situ keratomileusis outcomes
2336
Marian S. Macsai, MD, Karen Stubbe, COE, Adam P. Beck, MD, Zac B. Ravage, MD Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity after LASIK with the Nidek EC-5000 was not compromised by the use of a peripheral transition zone and resulted in a low incidence of glare and halos.
Performance of the Hansatome microsuction ring for laser in situ keratomileusis in eyes with narrow palpebral apertures
2344
Wei-Han Chua, MRCSE (Ophth), Donald Tan, FRCSE, Wing-Kwong Chan, FRCSE The performance and safety of the Hansatome microsuction ring for LASIK in eyes with narrow palpebral apertures were comparable to those of the standard suction ring.
Predicting cataract surgery results using a macular function test
2349
Je´roˆme C. Vryghem, MD, Hugo Van Cleynenbreugel, MD, Joachim Van Calster, MD, Kathleen Leroux, MD An easy, inexpensive macular function test was reliable in estimating the visual outcome after uneventful cataract surgery. However, it had no negative predictive value for dense cataracts and can be too optimistic in amblyopic eyes.
Incidence of and risk factors for residual posterior capsule opacification after cataract surgery
2354
V. Vinod Mootha, MD, Rachel Tesser, MD, Clifford Qualls, PhD Residual posterior capsule opacities are more common with advanced cataracts and white mature cataracts but rarely result in visually significant PCO in the immediate postoperative period.
Corneal edema and intraocular pressure after cataract surgery: Randomized comparison of Healon5 and Amvisc Plus
2359
Carlos L. Moser, MD, Montserrat Martin-Baranera, MD, PhD, Magela Garat, MD, Pedro Vı´ctor de Miguel, MD, Marc Rubio, MD In 140 cataract patients without exclusion criteria randomly assigned to have Healon5 or Amvisc Plus during surgery, no differences were observed in central corneal thickness. However, complications tended to be higher with Healon5.
Efficacy of the soft-shell technique using Viscoat and Hyal-2000
2366
Hyojin Kim, MS, Choun-Ki Joo, MD, PhD The soft-shell technique using Viscoat and Hyal-2000 protected corneal endothelial cells during cataract surgery in eyes with a nuclear opacity grade of 4 or greater.
Cataract surgery in sympathetic ophthalmia
2371
Sudha K. Ganesh, DO, Padmaja M. Sundaram, DNB, Jyotirmay Biswas, MS, Kalpana Babu, DO Results show that cataract extraction in sympathetic ophthalmia can be safely and successfully performed with vigilant preoperative and postoperative control of inflammation, careful surgical planning, and meticulous surgical technique.
Normal values for a clinical test of letter-recognition contrast thresholds
2377
Arshad M. Khanani, MD, Sandra M. Brown, MD, Ke Tom Xu, PhD Normal values for a computer-based test of high-luminance small-letter contrast thresholds were determined under bright and low ambient illumination for individuals aged 20 to 49 years.
Combined ICRS insertion and LASIK to maximize postoperative residual bed thickness in high myopia Shahzad I. Mian, MD, Elias F. Jarade, MD, Amy Scally, OD, Dimitri T. Azar, MD Combined ICRS and LASIK showed good results in treating moderate and high myopia in eyes with relatively thin corneas.
