Abstract
Incidence of visual impairment was high and significantly affected quality of life. Age-related cataract and OAG caused ~ 75% of blindness, indicating the need for public health action to increase appropriate cataract surgery and early OAG detection and treatment. Controlling DM and hypertension wou...

Abstract
Novel bendazac analogues and their salts have been designed and prepared. The resulting compounds (13c-d, 15c, 17c) showed very good aqueous solubility (>100 mg/mL). An in vitro assay showed that most of the resulting compounds had potent protective activity against the oxidative damage. Particularl...

Abstract
IgM antibodies were detected against T. gondii in 1.7 per cent, RV in 8.4 per cent, CMV in 17.8 per cent and HSV in 5.1 per cent, and that of specific IgG in 8.9, 25.0, 66.1 and 2.6 per cent respectively. Presence of IgM antibodies to T. Gondii in the study group was significantly lower when compare...

Abstract
A complete assessment of late effects of X-ray diagnostics should take into account that radiation sensitivity varies considerably for the different ages at exposure and, furthermore, that not only malignant diseases but also benign neoplasms are induced which also may lead to severe detriment of th...

Abstract
A congenital cataract associated with a granulomatous uveitis is an extremely rare association. The removal of the lens resulted in complete resolution of the inflammation: a phacogenic mechanism could be at the origin of ocular inflammation in both cases.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the protective action of calcium dobesilate (CDO) in various experimental models of cataract. CDO was studied in hydrocortisone-induced cataract in developing chick embryos and selenite-induced cataract in pups. CDO anti-cataract activity was also evaluated after oral and...

Abstract
This inverse horse-shoe technique of controlled viscodelineation and viscodissection markedly reduced the risk of posterior capsule rupture. Moreover, if it occurred, the anterior vitreous face remained intact, so the IOL could be implanted in the sulcus without resorting to anterior vitrectomy....

Abstract
Given that appropriateness tools should correlate with outcomes, we recommend using neither the WCWL nor the CCPS for appropriateness purposes. Incorporating new criteria into these systems may improve the correlation with important outcomes and their adequacy for use as appropriateness tools....

Abstract
These results indicate that BBIC and the antioxidant formulation evaluated in this study could be useful for protecting astronauts against space radiation-induced cataracts during or after long-term manned space missions....

Abstract
This technique may provide a suitable cosmetic and anatomic alternative to conventional procedures like staphylectomy with sclerokeratoplasty. It also retains the potential for more effective visual rehabilitation as an intraocular lens has been implanted....

Abstract
Recent research has thrown considerable doubt on the claim that King George III suffered from variegate porphyria, but indicates that he suffered recurrent attacks of mania as part of his bipolar disorder. George III's last episode of ill health occurred during the final decade of his life (1810-20)...

Abstract
Exposure to DDW causes different degrees of damage to LECs, ranging from reversible changes to total cell death. The changes seen in LECs are dependent on the duration of their exposure to DDW....

Abstract
Recessive p.R56W CRYAB mutation shows variable expressivity for lens opacity. Decades of aphakia increases retinal light exposure and may be an environmental risk factor for significant retinal degeneration in patients homozygous for the mutation....

Abstract
All three IOLs provide similar uncorrected and best corrected distance visual acuity. However, the ZM900 IOL provides better binocular distance corrected and uncorrected near acuity than the SA60D3 or SN60D3. The ZM900 IOL group was more myopic preoperatively compared to the other two groups, which...

Abstract
Glaucoma is a common ocular disease. Functional and structural changes associated with glaucoma require special consideration in the patient who is undergoing cataract/IOL surgery. Decreased contrast sensitivity found in glaucoma may be enhanced by the use of aspheric IOLs. Small pupils and weakened...

Abstract
The primary considerations at this time include combining the procedures as opposed to sequential operations and optimizing the effectiveness of the operations while reducing complications. SUMMARY: Recent findings would certainly suggest an individualized approach based not only on the glaucoma and...

To evaluate the ocular hypertensive response to repetitive cycles of high-dose systemic corticosteroid in young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Five patients up to 6 years of age with ALL who received chemotherapy between November 2003 and March 2005 were examined. As maintenance t...

Abstract
The mean endothelial cell loss was 8.1% in the phacoemulsification group and 6.8% in the Aqualase group. There was no statistically significant difference in the amount of endothelial cell loss or in visual outcome between the 2 groups. The number of Aqualase pulses tended to increase with nuclear d...

Abstract
In 158 eyes (94%), the retina reattached after surgery and remained attached until the end of follow-up. Subretinal fluid absorbed completely within 2 months after surgery. Best-corrected visual acuity improved in 126 eyes (75%) and remained unchanged in 19 eyes (11%). Mean best-corrected visual acu...
