2. 1. On posterior capsule opacification

   Author : Karin Sundelin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : posterior capsule opacification; quantification; capsulotomy; benefit; intraocular; lens; optic design; Catquest; Evaluation of Posterior Capsule Opacification;

   Abstract : AimsPosterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common complication after cataractsurgery. The aim of this study was to increase our knowledge about PCO regardingquantification, treatment effects and how different designs of intraocular lenses(IOLs) influence occurrence. READ MORE

4. 2. 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

5. 3. Ocular growth and lens size

   Author : Ulla Kugelberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : congenital cataract; lens thickness; intraocular implants; ocular axial length; corneal diameter; infant eye; rabbit eye;

   Abstract : Ocular axial length growth was investigated with special reference to the influence of crystalline lens and different intraocular lens implants, in human infants and three week-old rabbits. First it was concluded, in a retrospective study of children with bilateral congenital cataract, that lensectomy during the first months of life resulted in almost normal visual development.

6. 4. Molecular and epidemiological studies on eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome

   Author : Amelie Botling Taube; Jonas Bergquist; Albert Alm; Eva Larsson; Hannu Uusitalo; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pseduoexfoliation syndrome; PEX; aqueous humor; cataract; cataract surgery; lens capsule; proteomics; mass spectrometry; MS; MALDI TOF MS MS; quantitative proteomics; iTRAQ; dimethyl labeling; imaging mass spectrometry; IMS; time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry; TOF-SIMS; crystallin; epidemiology; risk factor; Ophtalmology; Oftalmiatrik;

   Abstract : Pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome is an age-related condition characterized by the production and accumulation of extracellular fibrillary material in the anterior segment of the eye. PEX predisposes for several pathological conditions, such as glaucoma and complications during and after cataract surgery. READ MORE

7. 5. Studies of the device perfect capsule in an animal model to reduce lens epithelial cell proliferation

   Author : Mahmoud Taie Abdelwahab; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The sealed-capsule irrigation device, the Perfect Capsule, is a surgical device designed to target lens epithelial cells (LECs) during cataract surgery and prevent posterior capsule opacification (PCO). This is especially important in cases in which the posterior capsule must stay intact after cataract surgery, such as when implanting accommodative lenses. READ MORE
