	The Cataracts File: Latest Research
		Cataract type, cataract extent, age at surgery and presence of strabismus and nystagmus and the best corrected distant visual acuity (BCDVA) before surgery were recorded and as well.
		Cataract, opacification of the lens, is one of the commonest causes of loss of useful vision, with an estimated 16 million people worldwide affected.
		Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation was performed using 1 of 3 types of surgical incisions: a limbal incision, a scleral tunnel, or a clear corneal incision allowing the use of a foldable intraocular lens.

		In 2 groups is out-patient the uniinstantly two-sided deleting of a lens with an implantation mild IOL for 44 patients with a cataract and hypermetropia (88 operations) is conducted.
		In 4 groups the unilateral deleting of a lens with an implantation mild IOL for 141 patients with a cataract and hypermetropia (141 operations) is conducted.
		Main goal should be playing cataract surgery by the phacoemulsification and would be very important in significant savings and be good advertising for patients who have their surgery delayed.

		Acquired pendular nystagmus has an equal amplitude and frequency in both directions and is a relatively common finding in MS Any acquired nystagmus in an adult should prompt a cranial MRI with contrast enhancement aimed at the clinical localization Ophthalmologists should be aware that nystagmus can be the presenting or only sign of MS.
		A 10% sampling of all patients operated on for cataract surgery from January 1, 1996, to December 31, 2002, were compared with all cases of postcataract surgery bacterial endophthalmitis during this same time period at this institution.
		Cataract surgery had been performed using extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) in most eyes; phacoemulsification was used in 67.5% of the pseudophakic eyes.

	Vanita, Mol Vis 2006; 12:518-522.
		Congenital cataract is a common, major abnormality of the eye that causes nearly one-third of childhood blindness.
		Thus, in cataract, one major gene seems to be affected, but variants in other genes involved in development, growth, and maintenance of lenses might modify its pathogenesis, explaining the poor correlation between a particular phenotype and the affected gene involved in human and mouse cataracts [26].
		Based on tight association of cataract and microcornea in the present family, and on the basis of expression of CRYAA in the anterior eye segment as well, it appears that apart from the lens, αA-crystallins might also play a role in the normal development of the anterior segment of the eye.

		For example, a mild cataract may not interfere with playing outside the house when a child is four years old, but does cause problems at school when he or she is learning to read at the age of six or seven.
		Although cataract surgery in children should be done as early as possible, if there is real doubt about whether children will benefit, they are unlikely to come to serious harm by waiting a little longer.
		Cataract surgery in children is very different to cataract surgery in adults.

		After pediatric cataract surgery, 10 (3.8%) of 266 eyes with primary intraocular lens implantation were diagnosed with glaucoma, whereas 8 (17.0%) of 47 aphakic eyes were diagnosed with glaucoma.
		An incompetence of clear corneal cataract wound with intraocular contamination was observed during the period of induced hypotony after anterior chamber decompression in the early post-phacoemulsification period.
		Cataract surgeons who operate on glaucoma patients must consider the negative effects the eye may have experienced from the disease itself, from chronic use of medications and, more important, from the preservatives contained in those medications.

		Nystagmus occurs frequently in Siamese, apparently not always associated with clinically detectable vision defects, but in dogs may result from congenital intraocular diseases, or acquired vestibular or cerebellar diseases.
		Focal cataracts should be localized within the various parts of the lens as prognosis and etiology may be suggested by location.
		Localization of focal cataracts can be performed using the tapetal reflex to highlight the opacity and then observing which direction it moves as the animal's eye moves.

		Aniridia is not just an isolated defect in iris development but is a panocular disorder with macular and optic nerve hypoplasia, cataract, and corneal changes that are other anomalies that lead to decreased vision and nystagmus.
		This already reduced vision is threatened further by such complications as cataract and glaucoma.

		The endothelial cells of the iris vessels are joined by 2 types of intercellular junctions, the zonular tight junctions and the gap junctions.
