The risk factors include duration of the diabetes, insufficient metabolic control, severity of DR at the time of conception and presence of coexisting vascular disease, such as ...

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of pupil dilation on ocular parameters measured by optical biometry and the influence of pupil dilation on intraocular lens (PC IOL) power calculation by using the third-generation (SRK/T) and the fourth-generation (Haigis) formula. Methods: 40 eyes of patients indicated for cataract surgery were included in this study. Each patient was examined by optical biomet...
