er and phaco-tip. In this study, a chop technique is described in which the phacochopper is inserted from the posterior part of the nucleus and the US tip from the anterior part, sandwiching the nucleus longitudinally to facilitate its crushing. The nucleus was successfully disassembled in a second and third division. US time and mean cumulative dissipated energy (grade III), and corneal endothelial cell loss (grade IV) were significantly lower with this technique. Supporting the nucleus from below with a phacochopper can be useful for advanced cataracts cases and those with a weak zonule….

Mashup Score: 0Assessment of measurement variability across automated... : Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery - 27 day(s) ago
bilateral, nonrandomized, open-label, observational study. Methods: This study included healthy eyes, with no prior eye surgery, and with a spherical equivalent of at least −1.00 diopter. Orbscan II was compared with Argos, Atlas 9000, caliper, IOLMaster 500, IOLMaster 700, iTrace, Lenstar LS900, Pentacam HR, and Pentacam AXL Wave. Preoperative measurements included white-to-white (WTW), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and central corneal thickness (CCT). Linear mixed-effect models were created to determine adjustment factor between the Orbscan II and other devices for WTW, ACD, and CCT measurements. Results: 204 participants (408 eyes) completed the study. All mean WTW measurements were significantly different compared with the Orbscan II (P < .01), except for Pentacam AXL Wave. All mean ACD and CCT measurements were significantly different compared with the Orbscan II (P < .01). Adjustment factors for WTW ranged from −0.65 to 0.24 mm. Adjustment factors for ACD ranged from −0.21 to −0.

t Warfighter Refractive Surgery Center (JWRSC), Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. Design: Retrospective study. Methods: Patients who underwent KLEx, PRK, or LASIK between 2019 and 2022 were included. Anonymized data collected included demographics, preoperative and postoperative uncorrected and corrected visual acuity, and manifest refraction. Results: Of the 4466 treated eyes, 737 (16.5%) underwent the KLEx, 2801 (62.7%) underwent PRK, and 928 (20.8%) underwent LASIK treatment. Regarding efficacy, there was no statistically significant difference at postoperative month (POM) 6 between the percentage of eyes reaching an uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20 or better between the 3 procedures. At POM1 (P < .001) and POM3 (P < .001), there were a greater number of eyes in the KLEx group that achieved the same or 1 line better of distance visual acuity than the PRK group. The efficacy indices of KLEx, PRK, and LASIK at POM6 were 1.09, 1.10, and 0.97, respectively. The saf

Mashup Score: 1Endophthalmitis rates after secondary intraocular lens... : Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery - 1 month(s) ago
Retrospective study. Methods: Medicare FFS beneficiaries who underwent IOL exchange or secondary IOL implantation for preoperative aphakia between January 1, 2011, and November 19, 2022, were identified. POE rates were calculated overall and separately for each surgical category—secondary IOL for aphakia vs IOL exchange, with subsets for concurrent anterior or posterior vitrectomy. Multivariate analysis of potential risk factors was implemented. Results: 97 152 patients were included. The 42-day POE rates for secondary IOL implantation for aphakia and for IOL exchange were 0.35% and 0.28% overall, 0.31% and 0.30% when combined with posterior vitrectomy, and 0.84% and 0.42% with anterior vitrectomy, respectively. The risk of POE increased when secondary IOL surgery was combined with anterior vitrectomy compared with no vitrectomy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.849; P < .001) and with higher Charlson Comorbidity Indexes compared with 0: 1 to 2 (aOR, 1.495; P = .01), 3 to 4 (aOR, 1.591; P

of the original Canabrava technique. Intraocular pressure and visual acuity data were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively. Surgeries were performed with the new modification of the Canabrava technique in 12 patients with implantation incisions as small as 2.2 mm (3.2 to 2.2 mm). The follow-up period ranged from 1 to 13 months. Corrected distance visual acuity improved significantly in all 12 patients, from 0.38 to 0.31 logMAR, whereas the cell count from specular microscopy decreased in average (preoperatively 2191 cells/mm2; postoperatively 1843 cells/mm2) and median (preoperatively 2225 cells/mm2; postoperatively 1902 cells/mm2). This current modification of the Canabrava technique greatly simplifies the procedure, making it easier and faster and with a shorter learning curve….

n A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah. Design: Observational, descriptive, clinical study with laboratorial analysis. Methods: A thorough review of records of patients undergoing phacoemulsification with Eyecryl implantation in December 2022 at FAV was performed, with data collection. 5 Eyecryl IOLs (never implanted/unused) were removed from the original package and underwent gross examination, light microscopy, and ultrastructural analyses using scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). Results: Details on 5 clinical cases exhibiting surface IOL deposits on the first postoperative day after uneventful surgery and followed for at least 6 months were included. The deposits disappeared by the 60th postoperative day. No inflammatory or toxic reactions were noted, visual outcomes were favorable, and IOL explantation was not necessary. 3 of the 5 unused lenses undergoing laboratorial analyses revealed diffuse, star-like deposits t

reatening capacity. Methods: A structured search on PubMed (MEDLINE) using both Medical Subject Headings and key words was conducted. In addition, the reference lists of the resulting articles were screened for further publications. Articles were eligible if they included 20 or more patients. Hazard and odds ratios were analyzed if they were calculated in the original study. The relative frequency of risk factors was recorded if hazard or odds ratios were not available. The threshold for clinical significance was set at 10%. Risk-of-bias in individual studies was evaluated using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool in randomized trials (RoB 2.0) and the Cochrane risk-of-bias in nonrandomized studies of intervention tool. Results: Database search identified 3474 records, and no further records were obtained from the reference lists. After exclusion of records not related to the topic, 177 articles were assessed for eligibility. Of these, 39 were considered eligible and read in full. 3
