  2. 1. Posterior capsule opacification : An experimental study in vitro and in vivo

    Author : Niklas Wallentin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical biosciences; Posterior capsule opacification PCO ; after-cataract; lens epithelial cell; proliferation; aqueous humor AqH ; inflammation; growth factors; basic fibroblast growth factor bFGF ; transforming growth factor-β TGF-β ; extracapsular cataract extraction; corneal incision; rabbit; Farmaceutisk biovetenskap; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics;

    Abstract : The clinical and economic significance of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) makes it an important public health problem. A better understanding of the pathogenesis in order to reduce/prevent PCO is needed. For this purpose an experimental model in the rabbit was used and further developed in thisthesis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Outcome after surgery of congenital cataract

    Author : Anna Lundvall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Congenital cataract; cataract surgery; intraocular lens; infant; paediatric; rabbit; complication; glaucoma; after-cataract; posterior capsule opacification.;

    Abstract : The visual outcome in infants undergoing surgery for bilateral congenital cataract has improved considerably because of improved surgical methods and the realisation that early detection, allowing early cataract extraction and immediate optical correction, can prevent otherwise irreversible deprivation amblyopia. The management of unilateral congenital cataract is still of the most difficult problems in paediatric ophtalmology. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cataract from ultraviolet radiation in the mouse

    Author : Linda Maren Meyer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Lens; cataract; ultraviolet radiation; oxidative stress; mouse; light scattering;

    Abstract : Cataract is defined as an opacification of the crystalline lens that results in visual impairment, Cataract is the number one cause of blindness in the world and there are currently no strategies to prevent it. Extraction of cataractogenous lenses is the most commonly performed surgical intervention in industrialized countries. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cataract surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus : clinical studies

    Author : Anna Zaczek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : diabetic retinopathy; clinically significant macular edema; miosis; mydriasis; neuropathy; phenylephrine; pilocarpine; visual acuity; laser flare intensity; cataract surgery; phacoemulsification; blood-aqueous barrier; postoperative inflammation; posterior capsule opacification; intraocular lens; Scheimflug camera;

    Abstract : The aim was to evaluate phacoemulsification cataract extraction with small incision and implantation of heparin-coated intraocular lens (IOL) in the capsular bag in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The aqueous flare intensity, which reflects the protein concentration in the aqueous humor, was used to evaluate blood-aqueous function in patients with DM type I and type II. READ MORE

  7. 5. Risk factors for age-related cataract : a prospective cohort study

    Author : Birgitta Ejdervik Lindblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cataract is the most common cause of blindness in the world. Epidemiologic studies have shown that the etiology of cataract is multifactorial. Cataract increases with age and oxidative damage to the lens proteins is suggested to be of importance. READ MORE
