Background: Cataract surgery has become one of the most common surgeries in the world with one in every four surgeries performed being a cataract extraction and the numbers are expected to increase by 16 percent in the USA alone by 2024 as compared to the current statistics. The aim of the study is to analyze the visual outcomes of intraocular lens implants for various visual ranges. Methods: This non-comparative interventional study was conducted at the Ophthalmology department of Al Ehsan Eye Hospital from Jan to Dec 2021. It included patients who underwent uneventful phacoemulsification with an intraocular lens implant and analysis of the visual outcomes for uncorrected distance (UDVA), uncorrected intermediate distance (UIVA), and uncorrected near distance (UNVA). Results: Independent sample t-test was applied to observe the mean values of recorded far vision on the 1stday, 1 week, and 1 month after the trifocal intraocular lens implantation. It showed a significant difference with a p-value of 0.00 on 1st day, 1 week, and 1 month after was 0.3±0.1, 0.17±0.09, and 0.14±0.08 respectively. Mean improvement in near vision after 1 month was N6 with S.D 1.03 and in intermediate vision was N8±1.4 respectively. Conclusion: Trifocal Intraocular lens implantation offers an improved vision for near, intermediate, and distant visual ranges without the need for correction.
Aims: The objective of this survey was to evaluate how routinely and efficiently the skill of fundus drawing is practiced among retinal specialists. Fundus drawing is an invariably accepted evidence worldwide for documenting various retinal disorders. Methods: A self-administered online questionnaire was circulated among various ophthalmologists. Potential participants were vitreo retinal surgeons and those ophthalmologists who work in a vitreo retinal department within Asia, United Kingdom and USA. The respondents were asked to mark either “YES” or “NO” for the given questions through google survey form. Results: Responses were obtained from 68 ophthalmologists in total out of which 57(83.82%) were retinal surgeons and 11(16.18%) were not. 32 (46.38%) admitted drawing fundus diagrams in their routine practice whereas, significantly 37 (53.62%) were not practicing it routinely. 45(66.18%) confessed that they draw single colored fundus drawings of retinal patients and 23(33.82%) did not. Conclusion: Regrettably, a large number of ophthalmologists according to our survey seem to be unenlightened with the imperative requirement of a fundus diagram in order to document various retinal pathologies in vitreo retinal patients, despite the fact that this skill has been considered mandatory in routine clinical practice of ophthalmologists.
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.
