A double-blind study of the influence of tranexamic acid on the central corneal thickness after cataract extraction.

A double-blind study of the influence of systemic tranexamic acid on the central corneal thickness after cataract extraction was performed in 17 pairs of patients. Apart from the cataract, no were present. A sequential statistics was used to show that the increase in central corneal thickness after operation was significantly less in the tranexamic acid treated group than in the placebo group. There was no significant difference in intraocular pressure between the tranexamic acid and the placebo treated group. The possible influence of tranexamic acid on the thickness controlling mechanism of the cornea is discussed, and studies concerning the fibrinolytic system, the complement system and the aqueous humour amino acid treated patients are mentioned.

Regional variation in cataract extraction rates and their relationship with resource supply and need.

There are large variations in cataract extraction rates between different regions of England, which may indicate differences in the availability of the operation in different parts of the country. Analysis shows that there is a relationship between the availability of ophthalmic beds and operation rates, but it is not possible to determine whether the bed supply determines the operation rate or vice versa.

[Risk factors for developing exudative reactions and fibrosis of the rear capsule after cataract extraction with implantation of an artificial lens].

A total of 132 patients were observed after cataract extraction with implantation of T-26 polymethacrylate and RSP-1 collagen copolymer intraocular lenses. Factors of risk of postoperative exudative reaction and fibrosis of the posterior capsule were determined, which depend on previous ophthalmic diseases (glaucoma, uveitis, diabetic angioretinopathy) and concomitant acute and chronic diseases of other organs (bronchopulmonary system, collagenosis, cholecystitis). Moderate changes in the hemogram before surgery are worthy of note.
