In nonglaucomatous eyes with an open ICA preoperatively, uneventful phacoemulsification reduced IOP, increased ACD, and widened the ICA. The changes were statistically significant over 6 months.
Diabetic papillopathy may be found in older patients with type II diabetes. Nonproliferative or proliferative diabetic retinopathy as well as macular edema may also be associated with this disorder.
To increase the accuracy of RNFL thickness measurements, it will be appropriate for the examiner to manually correct the actual scan parameters to the desired or preset ones after their automatic modification performed by the OCT instrument. Keeping the actual scan radius constant for repeated exams is also recommended because RNFL thickness measurements were found to depend on scan size. Alternatively, RNFL(estimated integrals) could be used because they were found to be independent of the scan size.
In cases of cataract associated with pseudoexfoliation syndrome, implanting a CTR before phacoemulsification of the nucleus reduced intraoperative zonular separation, increased the rate of capsular IOL fixation, and improved UCVA.
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.
