To describe the normative data for corneal Scheimpflug densitometry based on a cohort of normal participants.A total 445 healthy participants were recruited assessment (794 eyes). Left and right eyes considered separately. All assessed using analysis add-on to standard software Oculus Pentacam. Densitometry measurements obtained expressed in standardized grayscale units (GSU).All Caucasian; 42% male 58% female. The mean age was 48.0 ± 15.3 years (range, 20.2-84.2 years). Mean over...
Purpose: To assess the Artisan intraocular lens to correct myopia in phakic eyes. Setting: European multicenter study sponsored by Ophtec BV, Groningen, The Netherlands. Methods: In this prospective clinical study, was implanted 518 eyes between September 1991 and October 1999. power of lenses ranged from −5.0 −20.0 diopters (D). Follow-up examinations were performed at 6 months 1, 2, 3 years. (n = 454) years 249). preoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) not recorded but estimated be...
To compare the efficacy of a topical nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug, corticosteroid, and combination both drugs to prevent occurrence cystoid macular edema (CME) after cataract surgery in nondiabetic patients.Twelve European study centers.Randomized clinical trial.Nondiabetic patients having uneventful were included this study. Patients randomized receive bromfenac 0.09% twice daily for 2 weeks or dexamethasone 0.1% 4 times with 1 drop less per day every following week, both. The primary...
Purpose To analyze risk factors for refractive error after cataract surgery and provide a benchmark outcomes standard surgery. setting One hundred clinics from 12 European countries. Design Multicenter database study. Methods Data on consecutive extractions reported to the Registry of Quality Outcomes Cataract Refractive Surgery between January 1, 2014 December 31, 2015 were analyzed in terms demographics, preoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), target refraction, coexisting...
To evaluate the effect of benzalkonium chloride-assisted (BAC) transepithelial collagen crosslinking (CXL) in eyes with progressive keratoconus and a minimum follow-up 6 months.Department Ophthalmology, Antwerp University Hospital, Antwerp, Belgium.Cohort study.Eyes had CXL treatment without epithelial debridement. The standard irradiation was preceded by instillation proparacaine drops 0.5% preserved BAC 0.005% every 5 minutes for 30 minutes. Selected parameters refraction assessed Placido...
To evaluate the performance of a support vector machine algorithm that automatically and objectively identifies corneal patterns based on combination 22 parameters obtained from Pentacam measurements to compare this method with other known keratoconus (KC) classification methods.Pentacam data 860 eyes were included in study divided into 5 groups: 454 KC, 67 forme fruste (FF), 28 astigmatic, 117 after refractive surgery (PR), 194 normal (N). Twenty-two used for using developed Weka,...
To determine if a standardized, non-xenogenic, reduced manipulation cultivation and surgical transplantation of limbal stem cell grafts is safe effective treatment option for patients with total partial deficiency. In vitro cellular outgrowth phenotype the epithelial composite were validated using new protocol. Patients received either autologous (n = 15) or allogenic 3) explants cultured standardized protocol free from xenogenic products. The resulting transplanted technique. majority cells...
Purpose To compare the efficacy of perioperative treatment strategies, in addition to topical bromfenac 0.09% and dexamethasone 0.1%, reduce risk for developing cystoid macular edema (CME) after uneventful cataract surgery diabetic patients. Setting Twelve European study centers. Design Randomized clinical trial. Methods Diabetic patients having phacoemulsification were randomly allocated receive no additional treatment, a subconjunctival injection with 40 mg triamcinolone acetonide, an...
Purpose: To report four cases of severe keratitis after standard corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) treatment for keratoconus. Methods: Four patients with progressive keratoconus from two different centers were treated by ultraviolet A (UVA) CXL, using riboflavin as a photosensitizer. The epithelium was removed over the central 8 to 9 mm cornea. Riboflavin 0.1% in dextran 20% instilled every 2 minutes 30 before UVA exposure. UV-X™ light source (IROC), calibrated at 3 mW/cm , applied while...
Purpose: To study practice patterns in European cataract surgery over a 10-year period. Setting: clinics affiliated to the Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (EUREQUO). Design: cohort study. Methods: The EUREQUO contains preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative parameters reported by surgeons many clinics. All data registry are anonymized. Preoperative included age, sex, visual acuity, target refraction, ocular comorbidity, surgical difficulties. Surgical...
To report a new intraocular lens (IOL) and an IOL implantation concept, the bag-in-the-lens technique, designed to prevent posterior capsule opacification (PCO).The University of Antwerp, Department Ophthalmology, Edegem, Belgium, Netherlands Ophthalmic Research Institute, Morphology, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.After identical curvilinear capsulorhexes are created in both anterior capsules, capsules inserted flange IOL, thus term bag-in-the-lensas opposed currently used...
To report the indications, surgical complications, and outcomes of intraocular lens (IOL) exchange procedures performed over 5 years to correlate incidence perioperative anterior vitrectomy in eyes previously treated by neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy.Department Ophthalmology, Antwerp University Hospital, Edegem, Belgium.In this prospective study, all IOL between October 2002 December 2007 were included. Surgical correlated with position, targeted versus achieved refraction,...
To provide a detailed assessment of the techniques, technical features, and practical use 6 aberrometers made available to our institution from September 2002 January 2004.Department Ophthalmology, University Hospital Antwerp, Belgium.A number parameters are listed for Visual Function Analyzer (Tracey), OPD-scan (ARK 10000; Nidek), Zywave (Bausch & Lomb), WASCA (Carl Zeiss Meditec), MultiSpot Hartmann-Shack device, Allegretto Wave including working principles, data acquisition, aberrometer...
purpose. Several reports have demonstrated an association between glaucoma and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), though the origin of this remains unknown. In present study, influence OSA continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on intraocular (IOP) ocular perfusion (OPP) was examined. methods. IOP, blood pressure, pulse rate were measured every 2 hours during 24-hour sessions in 21 patients with newly diagnosed OSA. A first series measurements performed before CPAP therapy, a second...
To study the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of implantation a bag-in-the-lens intraocular lens (IOL) in children babies.Departments Ophthalmology, University Hospital, Antwerp, Belgium, Ljubljana, Slovenia, private ophthalmology practice, Oudenaarde, Belgium.Thirty-four eyes 22 had IOL.

PURPOSE. To compare the accuracy of different methods calculating human lens power when thickness is not available. METHODS. Lens was calculated by fourThree were used with previously published biometry and refraction data 184 emmetropic myopic eyes subjects (age range, 18-63 years; spherical equivalent -12.38 to +0.75 D). These three consist Bennett method, which uses thickness, a modification Stenström method Bennett-Rabbetts both do require knowledge thickness. include c constants,...
