PURPOSE To report a case of delayed-onset endophthalmitis after implantation of a preloaded intraocular lens (IOL) and examine the surgically removed IOL by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). CASE A 77-year-old female underwent uneventful phacoemulsification and aspiration with preloaded silicone IOL implantation. Since intraocular inflammation unexpectedly worsened 1 month after the surgery...

BACKGROUND There are 2 main types of intraocular lens (IOL) currently implanted in patients after cataract surgery. Till now, we do not know exactly what the effect of intraocular lens implantation will be on the quality of sleep after cataract surgery. METHODS The binocular BF-IOL (BF-IOL Groups) and UVB-IOL (UVB-IOL Groups) implantations were performed in 60 and 59 cataract patients, respec...

PURPOSE To evaluate surface properties of various intraocular lenses (IOLs), including a newly fabricated heparin-surface-modified (HSM) silicone IOL, with special reference to their efficiency in reducing potential silicone oil adherence to the IOL optics. SETTING Center for Research on Ocular Therapeutics and Biodevices, Department of Ophthalmology, Storm Eye Institute, Medical University o...

PURPOSE To assess the repeatability of an objective image-analysis technique to determine intraocular lens (IOL) rotation and centration. SETTING Six European ophthalmology clinics. METHODS Eyes with an Akreos AO aspheric IOL with orientation marks were imaged. A masked observer rated image quality. The axis of rotation was determined from a line bisecting the IOL orientation marks. This wa...

PURPOSE To evaluate the visual performance of different types of intraocular lens (IOL) in eyes submitted to femtosecond laser (FSL) cataract surgery and to analyze whether this technology could result in spectacles independence. DESIGN Retrospective comparative case series. METHODS Consecutive eyes that were scheduled for FSL cataract surgery were included in this study. After one month po...

BACKGROUND A technique of sutureless intrascleral fixation of an intraocular lens (IOL) in an eye that lacks a posterior capsular support has been reported. The advantage of this technique was that the suture-related complications did not develop. However, the long-term complications of a sutureless IOL implantation have not been reported. CASE PRESENTATION A 75-years-old man had a sutureless...

Purpose. To report 7 cases of intraocular lens (IOL) opacification following treatment of postoperative anterior chamber fibrin with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) after cataract surgery. Methods. Retrospective case series of 7 eyes in 7 patients who developed IOL opacification after receiving rtPA for anterior chamber inflammatory membrane formation resulting from phacoemulsif...

purpose: to describe a case with a rare complication of posterior chamber intraocular lens (pc-iol) implantation in a patient who had undergone extracapsular cataract extraction (ecce) two years before case report: a 80-year-old diabetic woman presented with an exposed pc-iol in her left eye with a history of mechanical trauma. slit-lamp examination revealed an extruded pc-iol lied on the anter...

PURPOSE To compare objective and subjective accommodation and visual acuities with a new accommodative intraocular lens (IOL) (Lumina; AkkoLens Clinical BV, Rijswijk, The Netherlands) with a monofocal IOL and young phakic eyes. METHODS In this prospective, randomized controlled clinical investigation, patients aged 51 to 85 years with symptomatic cataract were enrolled in the study. A total o...

PURPOSE To compare the outcomes of intraoperative wavefront aberrometry versus optical biometry alone for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in eyes undergoing cataract surgery with monofocal IOL implantation. METHODS Preoperative data were obtained with the IOLMaster. Intraoperative aphakic measurements and IOL power calculations were obtained in some patients with the optiwave refract...
