PURPOSE To report a new technique using tram-track suture for pupillary capture of a scleral fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) to reposition the tilted IOL. METHODS In this prospective interventional case series, we describe a tram-track suture for pupillary capture of a scleral fixated PC-IOL. A long straight needle with double-armed 10-0 polypropylene is passed behind the ...

PURPOSE To evaluate differences in straylight between eyes implanted with a hydrophilic multifocal IOL (Seelens MF; Hanita Lenses, Hanita, Israel) and a hydrophobic multifocal IOL (SN6AD1; Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX). METHODS In a prospective cohort study, routinely obtained straylight measurements (C-Quant; Oculus Optikgeräte, Wetzlar, Germany) 3 months after standard phacoemul...

BACKGROUND Toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation can be an effective method for correcting corneal astigmatism in patients with vitreoretinal diseases and cataract. Our purpose is to report the outcome of toric IOL implantation in two cases - a patient with scleral-buckle-induced regular corneal astigmatism and a patient with keratoconus following pars plana vitrectomy. As far as we are awa...

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 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...
