		Research article Clinical risk factors for age-related macular degeneration: a systematic review and meta-analysis Usha Chakravarthy, Tien Y Wong, Astrid Fletcher, Elisabeth Piault, Christopher Evans, Gergana Zlateva, Ronald Buggage, Andreas Pleil, Paul Mitchell BMC Ophthalmology 2010, 10:31 (13 December 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary According to the literature, knowledge of risk factors for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by physicians and ophthalmologists, such as smoking, previous cataract surgery or family history, may assist in identification and appropriate referral of people at risk.

		Research article Prediction error and accuracy of intraocular lens power calculation in pediatric patient comparing SRK II and Pediatric IOL Calculator Azlyn-Azwa Jasman, Bakiah Shaharuddin, Raja-Azmi M Noor, Shatriah Ismail, Zulkifli A Ghani, Zunaina Embong BMC Ophthalmology 2010, 10:20 (25 August 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary The IOL (intraocular lens) calculator is comparable to the Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff (SRK) II in providing prediction error and predictability of postoperative refraction in children, indicating that this can provide an alternative for IOL calculation in pediatric patients.
