Disparity In Cataract Surgery: Medicare Patients 5.5 Times More Likely To Get Surgery Than VA PatientsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Patients seen at private facilities reimbursed by Medicare were more than 550 percent more likely to have routine cataract surgery than those who received their care from the Department of Veterans Affairs, a strong indication that the frequency of cataract surgery may be responsive to financial incentives to either or both the medical facility and the physicians who perform the procedure...

Keratoprostheses in clinical practice – a reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The search for a substitute for the natural cornea dates back more than 200 years. Although several devices have been developed and trialled, very few have had successful long-term results and continue in regular clinical use. Keratoprosthesis (KPro) surgery is complex and should be performed in centres with an experienced multidisciplinary team. Currently available KPro devices range from the totally synthetic, such as the Boston KPro, to the totally biological tissue-engineered artificial cornea. The osteo-odonto keratoprothesis combines a synthetic optic with a biological haptic. All keratoprostheses have significant li...

Laser in situ keratomileusis in 2010 – a reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Laser in situ keratomileusis has become a widely accepted and commonly performed surgical refractive procedure. With the rapid advances in laser technology and surgical techniques, the visual outcomes and safety of this procedure has significantly improved. This review outlines the historical background, recent technological advances, indications, patient assessment and selection, the surgical technique, as well as complications of the procedure and their management.

Laser epithelial keratomileusis in 2010 – a reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Photorefractive keratectomy, laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) and Epi-LASIK are all variants of a similar type refractive surgery involving laser on the surface of the cornea and differ mainly in management of the epithelium. Although laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is currently the most popular form of refractive surgery, LASEK is the procedure of choice in some patients. We highlight potential complications of LASEK and how these may be managed. Following laser refractive surgery, corneal thickness is reduced, which has implications for intraocular pressure measurement and glaucoma screening and management. T...

Intracorneal ring segments in ectatic corneal disease – a reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The purpose of this review is to collect and summarize all the scientific literature regarding the use of intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) in corneal ectatic disease. These implants, initially designed to correct myopia in normal eyes, are implanted in the deep corneal stroma with the aim of achieving modifications to the corneal curvature and subsequently refractive adjustments. Colin et al. in 2000 were the first to report the efficacy of these implants in reducing the refractive error and corneal steepening in keratoconus eyes. Two main types of ICRS have been developed and used for the treatment of ectatic corneal dis...

Collagen cross-linking: a new treatment paradigm in corneal disease – a reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The last 2 years has seen a marked increase in the prominence of corneal collagen cross-linking as a treatment strategy for progressive keratoconus. This interest has arisen from a body of laboratory evidence documenting the biomechanical and cellular changes induced by cross-linking. The findings of this research provide a plausible rationale for its use in keratoconus to retard the progression of this common disease. The rapidly growing number of clinical reports suggests, not only a consistent stabilizing effect of cross-linking, but that a variable improvement in corneal shape and visual function may also occur in some...

Contemporary limbal stem cell transplantation – a reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conjunctivalization of the cornea is the hallmark of limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). This is often associated with persistent corneal epithelial defects and a fibrovascular pannus. LSCD can be unilateral or bilateral and partial or total. In partial LSCD involving the visual axis sequential sector conjunctival epitheliectomy (SSCE) is a useful option. In total LSCD, transplantation of limbal tissue or of ex vivo expanded sheets is the mainstay. In unilateral cases autolimbal transplant is the procedure of choice. In bilateral cases living (related) and cadaver donors are considered. The former has the advantage of bein...

Lack of effect of short-term treatment with Amlodipine and Lisinopril on retinal autoregulation in normotensive patients with type 1 diabetes and mild diabetic retinopathyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Short-term treatment with amlodipine and lisinopril had no significant effect on retinal autoregulation in young normotensive patients with T1D and mild retinopathy, and this lack of effect was similar for the two drugs. A possible normalizing effect of antihypertensive treatment on retinal autoregulation was not observed; however, it might take longer time to improve autoregulation than to reduce the arterial blood pressure.

We present the case of a 77-year-old female patient who complained of dizziness. Consequently, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination was performed to rule out an intracranial tumor. The examination revealed an intraocular structure with signal hyperintensity in the left eye. The patient was referred to our clinic to screen for an intraocular tumor. Ophthalmological findings together with the medical history unmasked the "tumor" as residual perfluorodecaline vesicles. PMID: 20238222 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Der Ophthalmologe)

Conclusion: Functional results of a translocation of RPE and choroid were heterogeneous and rather disappointing in this study. Results may have been influenced negatively by case selection. We found a relatively high rate of adverse events in the postoperative course. In selected cases, e.g. massive submacular haemorrhage or progressive neovascular AMD unresponsive to other treatment options, autologous translocation of RPE and choroid may still be considered.
