Introduction: Conventional phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for patients who already have a phakic IOL (PIOL) in situ can present challenges power calculation the surgical procedure. Here we report case of with without removing anterior toric PIOL. Patient Clinical Findings: This 45-year-old male was referred to our clinic mature cataract right eye, history multiple c...

eduardo F. marques, md Based on my experience, there are five essential elements in successful accommodating IOL designs, as outlined below. No. 1: Allow spectacle independence for all distances. A successful accommodating IOL should provide enough pseudophakic accommodation to allow spectacle independence for all distances. This can be achieved using one or a combination of the two physiologic...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical efficacy and complications of intraocular lens (IOL) exchange. METHODS A review of medical records was performed for 52 eyes that had undergone an IOL exchange due to IOL opacification. Surgical complications and their incidences were analyzed. The mean best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after the IOL exchange was compared with the mean pre-exchange BCVA and ...

INTRODUCTION Basic anatomical parameters in ophthalmology are variable in different countries according to ethnic groups, genetics and some environmental factors. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and intraocular lens power (IOL) in a referral center from eastern Iran among patients who had cataract surgery, in compar...

BACKGROUND To compare refractive index variation between Hoffer-Q, Haigis and SRK/T formulas used for preoperative biometry calculation in patients with axial length >25 mm, undergoing cataract surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a randomized clinical trial study was performed on 54 eyes of 54 patients with ages of 40-70 years old and axial length >25 mm classified into three groups that t...

PURPOSE Cataract development is common following retinal detachment surgery that necessitates silicone oil injection. Intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in the presence of silicone oil is challenging for many reasons. The authors evaluated the accuracy of intraoperative biometry during cataract surgery in silicone-filled eyes. METHODS Twelve cases of cataract in eyes filled with silicon...

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of postoperative refractive outcomes of combined phacovitrectomy for epiretinal membrane (ERM) in comparison to cataract surgery alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-nine eyes that underwent combined phacovitrectomy with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for cataract and ERM (combined surgery group) and 39 eyes that received phacoemulsification for cataract (...

OBJECTIVES To compare anterior chamber depth (ACD) changes after phacoemulsification surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) and normal patients using an anterior segment imaging method. Another aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of these changes on the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation and postoperative refraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-t...

Purpose. To evaluate and compare the accuracy of different intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas for eyes with an axial length (AL) greater than 26.00 mm. Methods. This study reviewed 407 eyes of 219 patients with AL longer than 26.0 mm. The refractive prediction errors of IOL power calculation formulas (SRK/T, Haigis, Holladay, Hoffer Q, and Barrett Universal II) using User Group f...

Objective: To report opacification of hydrophilic acrylic and silicone foldable intraocular lenses (IOL). Designs: Case series. Participants: Five patients with IOL opacification. Results: We report five eyes of five patients with late opacification of the intraocular lens (IOL). Three patients had hydrophilic acrylic (SC60B-OUV-MDR, Inc), two had silicone IOL (Allergan SI30NB). Two out of the ...
