Abstract:
The authors deal with the postoperative dioptric deviation from the calculated optic potency of the emetropic intraocular lens, using formulae SRK II, SRK/T and Holladay's formula. Within the range +/- 1.5 D the deviation varied in 84% of the operated eyes where the intraocular lens was assessed according to formula SRK II; in 76% when formula SRK/T was used and in 74% when Holladay's formula was used. The authors give also an account of possible sources of errors during measurement, calculation and evaluation of results.

01:25Glaucoma: Overview
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
01:16Focusing of Light in the Eye
Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that is the eye's outermost layer. The cornea bends or refracts, light rays traveling to the pupil. The shape of the cornea determines how much of the light is bent and whether the image will be focused correctly on the retina at the back of the eye. Once the light has passed through both refraction layers, it converges into a single focal point onto a small area. This is where photoreceptors start transforming...
