This study represents a novel comparison of recently introduced intraocular lens power calculation formulas.To compare current new generation formulas for calculating the standard cohort patients undergoing cataract and replacement surgery in private group practice Australia.Retrospective case series comparison.Postoperative results from 400 consecutive implantation an SN60WF post removal by 12 surgeons were used.Refractive outcomes compared with expected targets to determine predicted...

We report intraoperative capsular block syndrome occuring during the first 50 femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgeries performed in our facility. Two patients had uneventful combined laser fragmentation, capsulotomy, and corneal incision procedures. In both cases, following transfer to operating room manual removal of laser-cut posterior capsule rupture was noted hydrodissection, resulting dislocation lens. Pars plana vitrectomy, crystalline lens, sulcus implantation an intraocular lens...

Keratoconus is a common degenerative corneal disease that can lead to significant visual morbidity, and both genetic environmental factors have been implicated in its pathogenesis. We compared the transcriptome of keratoconus control epithelium using RNA-Seq. Epithelial tissues were obtained prior surgery from myopia patients, undergoing collagen cross-linking photorefractive keratectomy, respectively. identified major differences linked cell-cell communication, cell signalling cellular...

Cataracts have been in public consciousness since ancient times. Throughout the ages, comfort of established practices, at times, has obstructed implementation improved policies. The opposition to lensectomy, hygiene intraocular lenses, and phacoemulsification (phaco) are explored. As femtosecond laser cataract surgery attempts secure a foothold treatment, we consider whether it is destined be forgotten footnote or if, like other contributions history books, difficulties establishing new...

Independence from all optical aids, and freedom unwanted symptoms, following cataract lens surgery remains the ultimate goal of both patient surgeon. The development trifocal IOL technology provides an ever-increasing range options. purpose our study is to understand predictability, safety efficacy a new intraocular (IOL) or refractive exchange (RLE) surgery.This was retrospective consecutive case series patients undergoing extraction RLE followed by implantation Alcon IQ Panoptix IOL. Pre...

Abstract Importance Intraocular lens (IOL) calculations in post‐refractive cases remain a concern. Our study identifies improved options for surgeons. Background To evaluate and compare the prediction accuracy of IOL power calculation methods after previous laser refractive surgery using standard keratometry (SK), measured posterior corneal astigmatism (PCA) total (TK). Design Retrospective consecutive cohort. Participants A 50 patients (72 eyes) at private institution who underwent cataract...

Background: The twenty‐first century will see the evolution of a population dentate older Australians with dental needs very different from those adults in past years. This study provided comprehensive information concerning oral disease prevalence South Australian nursing home residents. Methods: paper presents cross‐sectional baseline results. Results: Most 224 residents, seven randomly selected homes, were functionally dependent, medically compromised, cognitively impaired and...

To report the safety and flap thickness predictability of LASIK using IntraLase femtosecond laser.A retrospective analysis 1000 consecutive cases was performed to assess rate intra- postoperative complications loss best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA). A subset 260 eyes prospectively analyzed subtraction ultrasound on day surgery.No serious or were noted. Three (0.3%) patients had epithelial defects that required a bandage contact lens. Four (0.4%) slipped caps 1 repositioning. Two...

PURPOSE: To report the visual and refractive outcomes in an initial series of eyes undergoing femtosecond laser cataract surgery with implantation a diffractive multi-focal intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS: The first 61 consecutive ReSTOR (Alcon Laboratories Inc) +3.00-diopter (D) add IOL between May July 2011 were enrolled study (LCS group). control group consisted retrospective cohort 29 that underwent manual phacoemulsification +3.00-D (MCS group) December 2010 April 2011. Visual...

Abstract Objectives: The Adelaide Dental Study of Nursing Homes was instigated to provide comprehensive information concerning oral disease experience, incidence and increments in a random sample those older South Australians residing nursing homes. Methods: This paper presents caries experience results for existing new home residents, from dental inspections conducted at the baseline one‐year data collections. Results: residents this study were very functionally dependent, medically...

Background: The complex oral health problems of nursing home residents have been well documented. However, the influences on residents' status, including opinions and experiences dental professionals staff, not yet adequately investigated. Methods: baseline questionnaire component this longitudinal study was mailed to all registered dentists practising in Adelaide directors (DONs). Results: 413 97 DONs indicated that dentists' interest training dentistry low. Dental service provision for...

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct refractive error following cataract surgery.The Eye Institute, Sydney, Australia.This retrospective study reviewed 23 eyes (19 patients; 10 female, 9 male) treated with LASIK for surgery. The Summit Apex Plus Ladarvision excimer SKBM microkeratome were used. mean age was 63.5 years (range 50 88 years). length follow-up 8.4 months 1 12 months) interval between surgery 2.5 46 months).The preoperative...
