BACKGROUND We conducted this meta-analysis to compare the outcomes of coaxial microincision cataract surgery (C-MICS) and standard coaxial small incision cataract surgery (C-SICS). METHODS The outcomes of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting C-MICS and C-SICS were collected from PubMed, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library in May 2015. The final meta-analysis was conducted on the...

We investigate the metabolomic profile of reactive persulfides and polysulfides in the aqueous and vitreous humors. Eighteen eyes of 18 consecutive patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and diabetic retinopathy underwent microincision vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery. Samples of the aqueous and vitreous humors were collected and underwent mass spectrometry-based metabolomic profiling of...

BACKGROUND The use of conventional foldable hydrophobic intraocular lenses (IOLs) in microincision cataract surgery (MICS) currently requires wound enlargement. We describe a combined surgical technique of MICS and trabeculectomy with insertion of a foldable IOL through the trabeculectomy fistula. METHODS After completion of MICS through two side port incisions, a 3.2 mm keratome is used to e...

AIM To compare the optical outcomes of biaxial microincision cataract surgery (B-MICS) versus coaxial small-incision cataract surgery (C-SICS). METHODS Thirty patients (sixty eyes) with bilateral age-related cataract underwent B-MICS through a 1.7 mm clear corneal incision (CCI) in one eye and C-SICS through a 2.8-mm CCI in the other eye. Every eye was implanted with a micro-incision aspheric...

PURPOSE To evaluate the change of residual volume of eye drop after instillation in patients with 23-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS). METHODS Patient who were treated 23-gauge MIVS from November 2014 to July 2015 were included. The residual volume was defined as the amount of remnant eye drop in patient's eyes after instillation, calculated as the difference between instillation...

PURPOSE To evaluate clinical outcomes of limbal relaxing incision (LRI) combined with bimanual phacoemulsification and insertion of an intraocular lens (IOL) developed for bimanual microincision cataract surgery (MICS). METHODS In a prospective, single-center study, eyes with > or = 0.75 diopters (D) of keratometric astigmatism were randomly assigned to two surgical techniques: 1) bimanual MI...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Vitrectomy markedly alters the intraocular milieu, which can then affect the physiology of the retina and choroid. This study investigates whether vitrectomy also alters ocular blood flow as determined by laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG). PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty eyes of 20 patients that underwent vitrectomy for idiopathic macular hole or epiretinal membrane were st...

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the clinical results of 2 diffractive multifocal small-incision intraocular lenses (IOLs) implanted after biaxial microincision cataract surgery (MICS). SETTING Atatürk Training and Research Hospital, 2nd Ophthalmology Department, Ankara, Turkey. DESIGN Comparative case series. METHODS Eyes that had biaxial MICS with implantation of an Acri.Lisa 366D IOL (G...
