Cataract and Other Lens Disorders

This randomized clinical trial evaluates whether first cataract surgery in a population of adults 60 years and older with cataracts affects melatonin secretion.

This randomized clinical trial compares the effects of intraocular lens vs contact lens correction in visual acuity in children 10.5 years after undergoing cataract surgery as infants.

This case report describes deterioration of visual acuity associated with damage from high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment applied inappropriately to the eyelids.

This cohort study estimates the incidence of postoperative glaucoma and glaucoma suspect among patients who underwent cataract surgery before age 13 years and evaluates potential risk factors.

This multicenter study evaluates the prevalence of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis in a patient population diagnosed as having early-onset idiopathic bilateral cataracts.

This randomized clinical trial compares the intraocular pressure outcome after 1 year in patients with synechial primary angle-closure disease and cataract who underwent phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis compared with phacoemulsification without goniosynechialysis.

This qualitative evaluation investigates the financial and environmental costs of unused pharmaceutical products after phacoemulsification surgery among US surgical sites.

This analysis of case logs from US ophthalmology residency programs assesses differences between male and female ophthalmology residents for cataract surgery and total procedural volume.

This cohort study investigates the associations of full preoperative disclosure of the resident role with patient consent rates and subjective experience of the consent process in cataract surgery.

A 72-year-old woman presents with a choroidal mass, subluxed crystalline lens, and occasional floaters and flashes in the right eye. What would you do next?

This cross-sectional study assesses whether intraocular cataract lens replacement in older patients with previous cataract is associated with the beneficial light effects on the circadian system, cognition, and sleep regulation.

This case report describes a 32-year-old woman with long-standing diminution of vision in the right eye whose slitlamp examination results showed a crisscross arrangement of fibers over the anterior surface of the anterior lens capsule confined to the central 3-mm diameter circular area that appeared to be emanating from a circle of dotlike raised white deposits.

This cohort study describes visual acuity and refractive error outcomes, as well as rates of amblyopia, glaucoma, and additional eye surgery, during the first year after lensectomy in children younger than 13 years.
