Serum Homocysteine Levels in Patients with Retinal Vein Occlusion in a Spanish Population

Abstract

The mean age of patients was 7 years older compared to the gold standard. Throughout surgery, mydriasis was smaller by 0.5-0.7 mm and was unaffected by tamsulosin use or iris colour. Age and pre-operative mydriasis with G tropicamide 1% significantly explained most of the variation in pupil diameter prior to capsulorhexis (p < 0.05). All patients requiring mechanical pupil dilation had pupils that dilated to less than 5 mm pre-operatively. The visual results and complication profiles matched that of the reference standard.
