RESUMEN
Objective: To find out outcomes of cataract surgery with Microophthalmia in children less than two years
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Karachi from January 2016 to August 2017. It included thirty micro ophthalmic eyes of infants with visually significant cataract of age less than two years who had cataract surgery without intraocular lens implantation. Axial length of globe was 19 mm or less in all thirty eyes of seventeen infants. in which thirteen infants had bilateral cataract and four had unilateral cataract
Result: Thirty Simple Micro ophthalmic eyes from seventeen patients having visually significant congenital cataract were studied. Thirteen had bilateral cataract and four had unilateral cataract. Mean preoperative IOP was 9.0 +/- 1.2 mmHg and postoperative IOP after three months was 10.9 +/- 3.2 mmHg. Three patients had secondary capsular opacification 17.6%. Two patients had posterior synachae 11.8% after three months
Conclusion: The results suggest that cataract surgery in simple microophthalmia is safe procedure. Postoperative complications in this study were within acceptable limits. Long term study with intraocular lens is required to confirm our observation
RESUMEN
Objectives: To compare the global indices obtained by Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm [SITA]-Standard strategy with those obtained by SITA-Fast strategy using Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer, in patients of glaucoma
Study Design: Cross Sectional/Validative Study
Place And Duration: Armed Forces Institute of Opthalmology, between March and September 2010
Methodology: SITA Standard and SITA Fast visual field analysis of 184 patients were carried out on Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer [HFA-II] using white on white perimetry with 30-2 program on consecutive patients that fit the inclusion criteria, presenting to Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmology [Rwp] between March 2010 and September 2010. Value of Pattern Standard Deviation [PSD], Mean Deviation [MD] and time taken to complete the examination were noted.. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant
Results: The Mean Deviation [MD] as calculated by the HFA-II, using the SITA Standard algorithm was -14.03 +/- 6.31 dB, MD calculated by SITA Fast algorithm was -13.8 +/- 6.2 dB, with no significant difference between the two, p>0.05 The mean PSD as calculated by the HFA-II, using the SITA Standard algorithm was 7.7 +/- 4.4 dB, PSD using the SITA Fast algorithm was 7.5 +/- 4.2 dB, with no significant difference between them, p < 0.05. It took 6:34 +/-2.1 minutes to complete the examination with the Fast strategy and 9.3+/-2.6 minutes with the Standard Strategy. The results were significant
Conclusion: SITA Fast strategy takes significantly less time to complete an examination with the same reliability as SITA Standard strategy
