Cataract (Cataracts) 12/01/2002 - "CONCLUSION: Subjects with various stages of dry AMD and cataract improved their self assessed visual function and satisfaction with vision significantly after cataract extraction." 05/01/2001 - "CONCLUSION: The outcome of simultaneous bilateral cataract extraction was comparable to that of single-eye cataract surgery, indicating that the procedure is safe under strict surgical protocol and beneficial in selected cases." 07/01/1989 - "Observation of our material showed that qualifying diabetic patients for cataract extraction and taking into consideration the over mentioned contraindications one can obtain good results similar as in other patients with cataract." 01/01/1989 - "The results demonstrate that epikeratophakia can be successfully combined with cataract extraction in children with visually significant non-traumatic cataracts and that the majority of such children demonstrate an improvement in visual acuity." 07/01/2004 - "CONCLUSIONS: Phacoemulsification is a safer and reliable surgery for restoration of visual acuity in patients with cataract, and is superior to extracapsular cataract extraction."

2.	Glaucoma 03/01/1998 - "CONCLUSIONS: Cataract extraction resulted in statistically significant improvement in visual acuity and foveal threshold in most eyes with glaucoma" 10/01/2004 - "In this series, cataract extraction was beneficial in improving visual acuity immediately postoperatively, but posterior segment changes and glaucoma may compromise final visual outcomes." 03/01/1998 - "In eyes with mild or moderate glaucoma-related damage, the mean deviation often improved significantly after cataract extraction, but improvement was less predictable in eyes with severe or end-stage damage" 01/01/1976 - "We conclude that combining cyclodialysis with cataract extraction is safe and effective, and is a suitable procedure when there is need for surgery to relieve severe glaucoma, along with a need for cataract extraction." 06/01/1988 - "The current study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) as a definitive treatment for phacolytic glaucoma" Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Inflammation 01/01/1999 - "MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Visual acuity, oral and topical corticosteroid requirements, anterior chamber inflammation, and ability to undergo successful cataract extraction were used to measure the efficacy of MTX therapy" 09/01/1998 - "CONCLUSIONS: TWP is effective in reducing postoperative anterior ocular inflammation after extracapsular cataract extraction and IOL implantation" 07/01/2008 - "Sequestration of bacteria within the capsular fornices after cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation can cause both acute and chronic inflammation" 10/01/2005 - "We report a case of low-grade inflammation that developed in the anterior segment after cataract extraction with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation" 03/01/2005 - "METHODS: This retrospective study evaluated five cases of postoperative inflammation that occurred after cataract extraction with foldable PCIOL implantation" Order ALL the reference details at left...

5.	Macular Edema 06/01/2008 - "CONCLUSIONS: The results in this study suggest that AquaLase liquefaction cataract extraction is as safe as standard US phacoemulsification cataract extraction and may carry less risk for the development of postoperative cystoid macular edema" 02/01/1988 - "A previous study by one of the authors found no significant difference in the incidence of cystoid macular edema with an intracapsular cataract extraction and the implantation of an iris-supported posterior chamber optic lens, compared with the incidence of cystoid macular edema with an extracapsular extraction and the implantation of a Shearing lens" 07/01/1983 - "A prospective clinical study has been undertaken to determine the rate of clinical cystoid macular edema in a population that has had intracapsular cataract extraction with the implantation of an iris-supported posterior lens" 11/01/1979 - "An on-going study of results and complications in a series of 1055 cataract extractions, done by Kelman phacoemulsification with up to five and one-half years' follow-up, showed that the incidence of cystoid macular edema (CME) is significantly less when the posterior capsule is left intact" 06/18/2007 - "3) In the context of good glycemic control, does a strategy targeting a systolic blood pressure level <120 mm Hg reduce development and progression of DR compared with one targeting a level <140 mm Hg? Secondary outcome variables include various levels of loss of visual acuity at 4 years versus baseline, cataract extraction, and the development or progression of diabetic macular edema" Order ALL the reference details at left...
