Cataract operation

MAFLD (new concept for NAFLD) cut-off for FIB-4 - science article
"Do we need a new cut-off for FIB-4 in the metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease era?" "In conclusion, the diagnostic performance of FIB-4 in the MAFLD group was not different from that in the NAFLD group. However, it would be appropriate to lower the cut-off to 1.0 in order to reduce

Cataract surgery success
Hello everyone! Just popping in to say I had the Pred-induced cataract removed from my right eye last week 👁 and it went really well. Brilliant in fact! 🤩 My distance vision is now as good as it was 40+ years ago when I realised I needed reading glasses, which I still will and I can very happily live

Liver pain AFTER giving up alcohol
Hi all - wonder if someone could advise please? I gave up alcohol at Christmas after years of binge drinking. Strange thing is I now have upper right quadrant liver pain (dull ache) that wasn't there before. Sometimes but not always it radiates to my back. It's worse when I bend forward or reach up.

Peripapillary CNV
After 18 months without an Eylea injection, I was given an appointment for treatment. The OCT showed a leak further out from the fovea than the one I had had before, which itself was some way from the fovea. I had a second OCT (which I've not seen) taken of the optic disc. In a letter that came after

Feeling despondent - cataract surgery after trab
My partner developed steroid-induced glaucoma (another and long story) in his left eye and had trab surgery last December. He also developed a cataract while on this journey.

Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis?
Hi, is it possible to experience Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis? Here's my backstory.. I'm ashamed to admit I was a daily drinker for approx 20 years (I'm now in my mid forties) as I used it to self-medicate to help with anxiety (terrible idea I know). I must have been averaging around 80 units

PEX glaucoma and cataract surgery
I have pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and bilateral cataracts. The ophthalmologist has referred me for cataract surgery in one eye. The other, she says, does not need it yet - her opinion not mine. Slight smile from me. Ophthalmologist fully explained all the possible complications and the fact that it
