Glued intrascleral fi xation is a technique aimed at restoring pseudophakia in patients with posterior capsular dehiscence and represents the theme of fi xing the haptics into the scleral pockets to allow long-term stability with no decentration and tilt.1,2 The technique has evolved from the use of polymethylmethacrylate nonfoldable intraocular lenses (IOLs) to the application of modern three-...

Intraocular lens (IOL)-related complications are caused primarily by mechanical trauma, inflammatory or infectious complications, or optical problems. Complications may occur at the time of surgery or be the result of an ongoing postoperative process. Mechanical and inflammatory injury may produce corneal decompensation, cystoid macular edema, hyphema, uveitis, and glaucoma, causing reduced vis...

odern cataract surgery aims not only to remove lens opacities but also to achieve correction of any refractive error. In addition to restoration of uncorrected visual acuity, correction of preexisting astigmatism is also important, and treatment options for this purpose include corneal limbal relaxing incisions, excimer laser photoablation and toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Shimizu ...

Purpose: to determine the consistency of HVID/WTW measurements on 5 devices, and their correspondence distance from angle (ATA). Methods The relevant information 30 right eyes was obtained volunteers. A prospective study conducted using Wavelight Topolayzer Vario (Alcon), IOL Master 700 (Zeiss), OA2000 (Tomey), AS-OCT Casia 2 Zeiss Atlas 9000 (Carl Zeiss) instruments. Agreement between measurem...

PURPOSE To quantify the effect on refractive outcomes after cataract surgery of personalization of Haigis intraocular lens (IOL) constants for a given surgeon-IOL combination. SETTING Institute of Eye Surgery and Institute of Vision Research, Whitfield Clinic, Butlerstown North, Waterford, Ireland. METHODS Personalization of Haigis IOL constants was performed using a series of 248 suitable ...

BACKGROUND Induction of labour (IOL) has become more common among many populations, but the trends and drivers of IOL in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia are not known. This study investigated trends in IOL and associated factors among NT Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal mothers between 2001 and 2012. METHODS A retrospective analysis of all NT resident women who birthed in the NT between...

BACKGROUND To compare the average values of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) and Ocular MD intraocular lens (IOL) calculators to assess their accuracy in predicting IOL power in patients with prior laser-in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or photorefractive keratectomy. METHODS In this retrospective study, data from 21 eyes with previous LASIK or photorefractive ker...

PURPOSE To compare the long-term efficacy of a secondarily implanted flexible angle supported anterior chamber (AC) intraocular lens (IOL) with sclerally fixated IOL as a secondary procedure in patients with aphakia. METHODS Sixty patients with aphakia were recruited for this study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group I patients underwent secondary implantation with AC I...

BACKGROUND/AIM Cataract surgery has become one of the safest procedures in medicine thanks to advances in technology and surgical techniques. Although minimal, we still witness different complications. The aim of this study was to compare visual outcome and complication rate in different techniques of cataract surgery, ie in cataract surgeries with various corneal incision width. METHODS The ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of the optical coherence tomography-based (OCT formula) and Barrett True K (True K) intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulas in eyes with previous radial keratotomy (RK). METHODS In 95 eyes of 65 patients, using the actual refraction following cataract surgery as target refraction, the predicted IOL power for each method was calculated. The IOL prediction e...
