• Effect of varying drop size on the efficacy and safety of a topical beta blocker.

  article

  We studied the effects on efficacy and safety of varying the drop size of a topical solution of levobunolol 0.5%. In a double-masked, crossover acute study, we administered a single drop of either 35 microL of vehicle, or 20, 35, or 50 microL of levobunolol one hour before the subjects began a ten-minute treadmill challenge electrocardiogram. After exercise the mean heart rate was 111 beats per minute (bpm) in the vehicle group and 102 to 103 bpm in the three levobunolol groups, which were significantly different from the control group but not from each other. In a randomized double-masked, parallel, chronic study, 117 patients with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) instilled one of the three drop sizes of levobunolol twice daily for three months. Mean decreases in IOP ranged from 5.1 to 6.0 mmHg in the three groups, not significantly different from each other in mean IOP, heart rate, or blood pressure. We conclude that drop size in the range tested had no clinically significant effect on either efficacy or safety of a beta blocker such as levobunolol.

• Control of intraocular pressure in glaucomatous eyes after extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation

  Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery · 1988-11-01 · 38 citations

  article1st authorCorresponding

  Two hundred sixty eyes of 195 patients having extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with insertion of a posterior chamber intraocular lens were studied retrospectively. Of these cases, 160 eyes had preexisting glaucoma while 100 had no ocular pathology except for cataract. Intraocular pressure decreased significantly after ECCE in both groups and slowly returned to baseline within two years. The average postoperative visual acuity was better in the control group than in the glaucoma group. Patients with glaucoma were controlled with less medication after surgery. We believe that ECCE with insertion of a posterior chamber intraocular lens can be safely performed in glaucoma patients and has a beneficial effect on the control of glaucoma.

• Combined intraocular lens and strabismus surgery

  Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery · 1986-01-01 · 9 citations

  articleSenior author

  Ten cases of combined strabismus surgery and intraocular lens implantation were reviewed to determine if there were increased risks and complications. A review of these cases revealed the contrary was true; i.e., there were no complications arising from the combined surgery and there were benefits in the decreased hospitalization and operative time, less mental trauma, and improved muscle surgical outcome. From these results, we conclude that combined intraocular lens and strabismus surgery is efficacious and indicated in patients with strabismus and cataracts or aphakia.

• Estimates of primary implant power using an intraocular lens table

  Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery · 1986-07-01 · 1 citations

  article

  Intraocular lens (IOL) power data have been compiled in tabular format as a function of axial length measurements, corneal powers, and desired refractive errors. The table is presented to assist the clinician in performing IOL power estimates and as an independent source for checking preoperative IOL power calculations. Ophthalmologists who do not own a personal computer will find the lens power table a valuable adjunct to their present repertoire of analytical skills.

• Neodymium:YAG laser therapy for pseudophakic pupillary block

  Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery · 1986-03-01 · 17 citations

  article1st authorCorresponding

  Pupillary block occurred in six patients with anterior chamber intraocular lens implants. After medical therapy failed, the Nd:YAG laser was used to break the hyaloid face in the pupillary and iridectomy apertures. Iridotomies were also produced at the sites of bulging iris. Following laser treatment the anterior chambers deepened and there were no further signs or symptoms of pupillary block. The Nd:YAG laser proved to be a useful treatment for pseudophakic pupillary block.
