Diabetic retinopathy: global prevalence, major risk factors, screening practices and public health challenges: a review Tập 44 Số 4 - Trang 260-277 - 2016
Daniel Shu Wei Ting, Chui Ming Gemmy Cheung, Tien Yin Wong
AbstractDiabetes retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss in
middle‐aged and elderly people globally. Early detection and prompt treatment
allow prevention of diabetes‐related visual impairment. Patients with diabetes
require regular follow‐up with primary care physicians to optimize their
glycaemic, blood pressure and lipid control to prevent development and
progression of DR and other ... hiện toàn bộ
Cyanoacrylate glue for corneal perforations: a description of a surgical technique and a review of the literature Tập 28 Số 6 - Trang 437-442 - 2000
Brendan J. Vote, Mark Elder
ABSTRACTThe effective early application of a cyanoacrylate glue corneal patch
can aid in the management of small corneal perforations, corneal melts and wound
leaks. Their use gives improved visual outcomes with reduced enucleation rates
(6%vs 19%). It may also avoid the need for tectonic penetrating
keratoplasty.Cyanoacrylate glue prevents re‐epithelialization into the zone of
damaged and naked s... hiện toàn bộ
Endothelial keratoplasty – a review Tập 38 Số 2 - Trang 128-140 - 2010
Marianne O. Price, Francis W. Price
AbstractFrom its inception over a century ago, penetrating keratoplasty grew to
become the most common and most successful form of solid tissue transplantation.
Yet clinicians have long recognized the limitations of full‐thickness corneal
transplants, including prolonged visual rehabilitation, unpredictable refractive
changes, susceptibility to ocular surface complications and vulnerability to

Assessing the sub‐basal nerve plexus of the living healthy human cornea by in vivo confocal microscopy Tập 30 Số 3 - Trang 187-190 - 2002
Christina N Grupcheva, Tracey Yuan Ting Wong, Andrew F Riley, Charles N. J. McGhee
AbstractThe purpose of the study was to perform quantitative analysis of the
sub‐basal epithelial nerve plexus of healthy, living human cornea, using real
time in vivo confocal microscopy and the analySIS software system. The study was
based on in vivo confocal microstructural analysis of 50 eyes of 50 subjects,
divided into two age groups: group 1 (n = 25) 25 ± 5 years of age, and group 2
(n = 25... hiện toàn bộ
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome: pathological manifestations of relevance to intraocular surgery Tập 32 Số 2 - Trang 199-210 - 2004
Robert M. Conway, Ursula Schlötzer‐Schrehardt, Michael Küchle, Gottfried O.H. Naumann
AbstractPseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a common ocular condition often
associated with the need for intraocular surgery. Although results of cataract
and glaucoma filtering surgery in eyes with PEX in the early stages of the
disease may be comparable to those in eyes without PEX, in the later stages
morbidity is significantly increased due to periocular surgical complications
and the outcome ... hiện toàn bộ
Ocular toxicity of fluoroquinolones Tập 35 Số 6 - Trang 566-577 - 2007
Andrew M. Thompson
AbstractThe ocular toxicity of fluoroquinolones and the risks of their use in
the treatment of ocular infection were reviewed. Systematic identification,
selection, review and synthesis of published English‐language studies relating
to fluoroquinolone use and safety in animals and humans was conducted. Although
not free of complications, fluoroquinolones are generally safe when used to
treat ocula... hiện toàn bộ

Changing from Snellen to LogMAR: debate or delay? Tập 34 Số 1 - Trang 6-8 - 2006
Badrul Hussain, George M. Saleh, Sobha Sivaprasad, Christopher J. Hammond
AbstractVisual acuity is the most commonly used test to assess visual function.
The Snellen chart is the universally accepted tool for testing visual acuity
despite its poor reliability and reproducibility. Newer logMAR charts are now
available that have negated the disadvantages of the Snellen chart. However,
these charts are not being used regularly in daily practice. This article
discusses the ... hiện toàn bộ
