Tag: Cataracts

Recall issued in response to reports of toxic anterior segment syndrome

Findings show higher risk for nonclearing vitreous hemorrhage, retinal tear and detachment, anterior vitrectomy, and glaucoma surgery

Age younger than 3 months, intraoperative complications at time of lensectomy linked to increased risk among aphakic eyes

Systemic complications less frequent following cataract surgery compared with other low-risk procedures in Medicare beneficiaries

Heterozygous carriers of HMGCR predicted loss-of-function variants had higher risks for developing cataract, cataract surgery

After multiple adjustments, self-reported cataract surgery predicted 36 percent elevated risk for vascular-related mortality

Initiation of prophylactic treatment three days before surgery is not superior to initiation on day of surgery

Slightly better outcomes in visual acuity seen for short-term versus long-term delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery

Lowest risk for cataracts seen for patients aged 40 to 49 years; null result observed in patients aged 60 to 79 years

Risk for glaucoma-related adverse events not influenced by primary intraocular lens implantation
