The results revealed that this combined operation can make most of them get useful visual acuity, although they were often accompanied with several comlicated eye injuries. We think the most important thing is to choose suitable opertion time, the reasonable operation method and take close followup after operation.展开更多

Three months after surgery they were examined for uncorrected(UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA), contrast sensitivity(CS)under photopic and mesopic conditions with and without glare source, ocular high order aberrations(HOA, Zywave II) and retinal straylight(C-Quant).· RESULTS: Postoperatively, patients achieved a postoperative CDVA of 0.0 log MAR or better in 97.1% of eyes. Mean values of high order abberations were +0.02±0.27(primary coma components) and-0.04 ±0.16(spherical aberration term). Straylight values of the C-Quant were 1.35±0.44 log which is within normal range of age matched phakic patients. The CS measurements under mesopic and photopic conditions in combination with and without glare did not show any statistical significance in the patient group observed(P ≥0.28).· CONCLUSION: The implantation of an aspherical aberration correcting monofocal IOL after cataractsurgery resulted in very low residual higher order aberration(HOA) and normal straylight.展开更多

For this reason, pediatric cataract surgeons have expended considerable effort into preventing and mitigating PCO. The intraocular lens（IOL） optic capture technique has been used for the prevention of PCO after pediatric cataract surgery for more than 20 y, but there is still no professional consensus. However, recent research has shown encouraging results. The IOL optic capture technique can be performed without anterior vitrectomy to prevent PCO, even in younger children. The type and characteristics of IOLs used for optic capture technique, the location of IOL and the complications of IOL optic capture in children are here reviewed.展开更多

For 3 cases of hypermature cataracts with smaller and rigid nuclei, after a complete capsulorhexis, an IOL was directly inserted into the capsular bag, which protected the PC during the subsequent phacoemulsification process in the iris plate. For the other 9 cases with larger and softer nuclei, after the nucleus was partially emulsified, the IOL was inserted into the bag. Even with an obvious surge for some cases, the surgeries were uneventful in all 12 cases, with no PC rent or vitreous loss. IOL implantation into the capsular bag with a whole or partial nucleus can provide effective protection for the PC for hypermature cataract during phacoemulsification.展开更多

Removal or not of the intraocular lens(IOL) during vitrectomy in cases with a moderate or severe inflammation is controversial. In order to call upon more discussion, we publish the article entitled “Timely vitrectomy without intraocular lens removal for acute endophthalmitis after cataract surgery” written by Guo et al in this issue. With recent advanced vitrectomy techniques, and critical measures for management of risk factors related to occurrence of infection, IOL remaining during timely vitrectomy for acute endophthalmitis can possibly be safe and effective in selected cases.展开更多

This paper studies the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) levels in aqueous humor after traumatic cataract extraction and posterior chamber (PC) intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in rabbits,and discusses the effect of TNF on postoperative anterior ocular inflammation. Methods. Twenty seven pigmented rabbits were divided into three groups: for the first group, the IOL were placed in the capsular bag after traumatic cataract extraction; for the second, the Extracapsular cataract extraction without IOL implantation; and for the third, the control group without surgical intervention. On the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th day postoperatively, aqueous humor samples were obtained. A modified double antibodies indirect sandwich ELISA was used to detected for the presence of TNF. The data were studied by means of analysis of variance in SAS software. Result. The TNF level was increased in aqueous humor and reached its maximum on the 1st postoperative days after traumatic cataract extraction and PC IOLs implantation, and the TNF levels are significantly higher (P<0 05) on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th day postoperatively in traumatic cataract extraction and PC IOL implanted group than that in the non surgical intervention group and extracapsular cataract extraction group. Conclusions. The increase of TNF levels had a close relationship with presence of the IOL itself which induces the secretion of TNF. This suggested that TNF as the principal mediators of immunological and inflammatory responses, so that may play critical role in anterior ocular inflammative response after traumatic cataract extraction and IOL implantation.展开更多

Uncorrected and corrected visual acuity at distance （5.0 m）, intermediate distance （0.6 m）, and near （0.33 m）, contrast sensitivity, and stereopsis were assessed 6mo after surgery. Patients were also surveyed for visual disturbances and spectacle dependence.RESULTS： Binocular uncorrected visual acuity （LogMAR） of Toric/multifocal IOL eyes at distance, intermediate, near were 0.05±0.05, 0.24±0.10, and 0.14±0.06 respectively. The values of Toric plus monofocal IOL eyes were 0.06±0.07, 0.26±0.08, and 0.37±0.10 respectively. These values did not indicate significant differences between two groups with exception of near visual acuity. In the photopic condition （with or without glare）, the contrast sensitivity of multifocal IOL eyes was significant lower than the monofocal IOL eyes in 18 cpd. In the mesopic condition, the contrast sensitivity of multifocal group was significant lower than monofocal group in 12 cpd, and in mesopic glare condition, this significant difference was found both in 6 cpd and 12 cpd. The stereopsis of Toric/multifocal IOL eyes decreased slightly （100±80 seconds of arc, t=2.222, P=0.136）. Mean near vision for patient satisfaction was statistically significantly higher in Toric/multifocal IOL group patients versus than that in Toric/monofocal IOL group （80% vs 25.5%, P=0.000）. Visual disturbance was not noticed in either group.CONCLUSION： Although the combination of Toric and multifocal IOL implantation results in compromising stereoacuity, it can still provide patients with high levels of spectacle freedom and good overall binocular visual acuity.展开更多

Methods: Two patients are unable to lie flat respectively during phacoemulsification underwent this technique in Jingdong and Tonghai county Hospital of Yunnan province in China. Each patient was positioned erect or semirecumbent in a standard reclining cataract surgical chair. The ceiling-mounted microscope was rotated 60 degrees from the vertical to point toward the patient. Results: The intraoperative and postoperative periods were uneventful in two patients, with good visual outcomes after surgery. Conclusion: This technique is valuable for situations where the patient requires upright positioning because of the inability to recline flat, and should be considered for cases where standard surgical positioning is not possible.展开更多

METHODS: The medical records of cataract patients of no more than 14 years old who had primary IOL implantation were reviewed from 2006 to 2010. The PE, absolute value of PE (APE), and predictability between in different axial length, mean corneal curvature, corneal astigmatism, and age at the surgery were analyzed. RESULTS: Seventy-five children (119 eyes) were included, with a mean age of (5.09 +/- 2.54) years. At the follow-up of (1.19 +/- 0.69) months, the mean postoperative PE was (-0.22 +/- 1.12) D, and APE was (0.87 +/- 0.73)D. The PE in eyes with an axial length > 20mm but <= 22mm were significantly under-corrected than that in eyes with longer axis, and the APE in eyes with an axial length <= 20mm was more obvious compared with the others. The correlations between PE and axial length, as well as corneal astigmatism, and between APE and axial length were significant. The predictability was significantly poorer in the eyes with an axial length <= 20mm than the others. CONCLUSION: The axial length is closely related with the PE after IOL implantation in pediatric cataract patients, especially when it is <= 20mm, PE is more significant. The formula that is more suitable to very short axial length should be explored.展开更多

The preoperative refraction values were +17.75DS -1.50DC × 168° for the right eye and +17.25DS -0.75DC × 8° for the left eye. The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 20/200 bilaterally and the spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) was 20/50 bilaterally. One year after Artisan iris-fixated IOL implantation, bilateral BSCVA was 20/50 with a refraction of +1.25DS -0.75DC × 13° for the right eye and +1.50DS -1.00DC × 55° for the left eye. The outcomes of an Artisan iris-fixated IOL implantation followed to CLE with PC-IOL implantation were encouraging for the correction of extreme hyperopia. Long term follow-up examinations were necessary for further determination of the efficacy and safety of this combinational procedure.展开更多

All patients were divided into three groups based on the severity of the VF defect: the mild, moderate, and severe stage. Phacoemulsification was performed for cataract removal combined with IOL implantation. Visual acuity(VA) and VF tests were performed for all enrolled patients, up to 3 mo after surgery. Changes in VF threshold and global VF index in various groups were also recorded before and after surgery. The mean light sensitivity(MS) values and the changes following surgery(DMS) were compared between the three groups. Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study(AGIS) scoring was analyzed on all VF results for analysis of changes in VF before and after surgery.RESULTS: Following surgery, the MS values of the three groups of G&C increased significantly, while the AGIS scores decreased statistically in all groups. The DMS values for the three zones in moderate and severe stage but not mild stage were statistically different between zones. The DMS value was significantly higher in zone I than those in zone II and III(zone I>zone II>zone III;P<0.05). The DMS was significantly higher in zone I than that in zone III in moderate stage patients(zone I>zone II>zone III;P<0.01), while the DMS values in the severe stage patients was significantly higher in zone I than those in zone II and III(zone I>zone II>zone III;P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The mean VF sensitivity of glaucoma patients increased significantly after cataract removal and IOL implantation. Variations in the severity and distribution of characteristics of VF defects result in differences in postoperative VF improvements after cataract surgery. The magnitude of increase in VF sensitivity is associated with VF defect characteristic in glaucoma.展开更多

文摘AIM:To establish an animal model of form deprivation amblyopia based on a simulated cataract intraocular lens(IOLs).METHODS:Poly(dimethyl siloxane)-SiO_(2) thin films(PSF)with different degrees of opacity as IOL materials were prepared.The light transmission of the PSF-IOL was measured,and its in vitro biosafety was determined by cell counting kit(CCK)-8 assay using the HLEC-B3 cell line and ARPE-19 cell line.Subsequently,the in vivo safety was determined by implanting the PSF-IOL with 10%wt SiO_(2) into the right eyes of New Zealand white rabbits(PSF-IOL group),and compared with two control groups:contralateral comparison group and normal control(NC)group(Contralateral comparison group:the fellow eye;NC group:a group of binocular normal rabbits without intervention).The flash visual-evoked potentials(F-VEPs)were measured to verify amblyopia.RESULTS:PSFs containing 0,2%,and 10%wt SiO_(2) were successfully constructed.The 0 SiO_(2) PSF was transparent,while the 10%wt SiO_(2) PSF was completely opaque.It was found that PSF did not induce unwanted cytotoxicity in HLECs and ARPE19 cells in vitro.In vitro,PSF-IOL with 10%wt SiO_(2) was also non-toxic,and no significant inflammation or structural changes occurred after four weeks of PSF-IOL implantation.Finally,our IOL-simulated congenital cataract rabbit detected by F-VEPs suggested tentative amblyopia.CONCLUSION:A PSF-IOL that mimics cataracts is created.A novel form deprivation model is created by the IOL-simulated congenital cataract rabbit.It can be developed fast and stable and holds great potential for future study.
文摘The incidence of cataracts is significantly higher in diabetic individuals,particularly in younger age groups,with rates quadrupled in those under 65 and doubled in those over 65 compared to non-diabetics.Cataract surgery in diabetic patients poses many challenges:Poor epithelial healing,decreased corneal sensitivity,increased central corneal thickness,decreased endothelial cell count,variable topography,poor pupillary dilatation,anterior capsular phimosis,posterior capsular opacification(PCO),chances of progression of diabetic retinopathy(DR),zonular weakness,and vitreous prolapse and diabetic macular edema.Selection of an appropriate intraocular lens(IOL)is crucial for visual rehabilitation and monitoring DR.The choice of IOL in diabetic cataract patients is a challenging scenario.Square-edge IOLs are favored for their capacity to mitigate PCO,whereas hydrophilic counterparts may incur calcification in the setting of proliferative DR.The advisability of premium IOLs for achieving spectacle independence warrants judicious evaluation,particularly in the presence of advanced retinopathy.Optimal IOL placement within the capsular bag is advocated to minimize postoperative complications.Rigorous preoperative assessment and informed patient counseling regarding IOL options are indispensable for optimizing surgical outcomes.This review article covers various aspects regarding the choice of IOLs in different case scenarios and complications in the diabetic population.
文摘AIM:To evaluate the postoperative intraocular lens(IOL)rotational stability and residual refractive astigmatism following combined 25-gauge vitrectomy and cataract surgery with implantation of a plate haptic toric IOL.METHODS:In this retrospective case series,32 eyes of 32 patients underwent a combined 25-gauge vitrectomy and phacoemulsification for vitreoretinal diseases and cataract with regular corneal astigmatism of at least 1 diopter(D).A plate haptic toric IOL(AT Torbi 709M,Carl Zeiss Meditec AG)was implanted in all eyes.The outcome measures were rotational stability and refractive astigmatism up to 6mo postoperatively as well as the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA).RESULTS:Preoperative refractive astigmatism was 2.14±1.17 D,which was significantly reduced to 0.77±0.37 D six to eight weeks postoperatively and remained stable throughout the observation period(0.67±0.44 D at three months and 0.75±0.25 D at six months;for all groups:P<0.0001 compared to baseline).BCVA improved significantly from 0.36±0.33 logMAR preoperatively to 0.10±0.15 logMAR following surgery(P=0.02).Mean IOL axis deviation from the target axis was 3.4°±2.9°after six to eight weeks and significantly decreased over time(2.4°±2.6°six months after surgery;P=0.04).In one patient IOL,re-alignment was performed.CONCLUSION:Corneal astigmatism is significantly reduced following combined 25-gauge vitrectomy and cataract surgery.The plate haptic toric IOL position and axis remain stable during the observation period of six months.
文摘Extracapsular cataract extraction was performed combined with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation on 120 inpatients (122 eyes) with traumatic cataract from 1992 to 1997. The results revealed that this combined operation can make most of them get useful visual acuity, although they were often accompanied with several comlicated eye injuries. We think the most important thing is to choose suitable opertion time, the reasonable operation method and take close followup after operation.
文摘AIM:To investigate and compare the quality of life,satisfaction,contrast sensitivity,glare,depth perception,and intraocular lens(IOL)rotation in patients who underwent trifocal toric and bifocal toric IOLs.METHODS:A total of 80 eyes of 40 patients were included in this prospective study.Twenty patients in each group were implanted with trifocal toric and bifocal toric IOL,respectively.Preoperative and postoperative 6-month measurements were recorded for both patient groups.Comprehensive anterior and posterior segment examinations,distance-intermediate-near visual acuity values and the visual function scale questionnaire results were evaluated at these examinations.Patient satisfaction,contrast sensitivity,glare,intermediate-near and distance stereopsis and IOL rotation were also evaluated.RESULTS:No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of distance and near visual acuities(P=0.269,P=0.451).Intermediate visual acuity was significantly increased in the trifocal toric group(P<0.001).The visual function scale results were increased after surgery in both groups(P=0.001 and P<0.001),with no difference determined between them(P=0.158 and P=0.691).The number of patients wearing glasses was low in both groups and there was no significant difference between the groups(P>0.05).The overall satisfaction in the trifocal toric group was significantly higher than in the bifocal toric group(P=0.03).The highest sensitivity was observed at 6 cpd spatial frequency in all patients under photopic conditions(1.80±0.24 logU,1.74±0.20 logU).Distance-intermediate-near binocular depth perception results in both groups were higher in the trifocal toric group(P=0.02,0.048,0.003,respectively).Although there was no significant difference for 3 meters stereopsis,the trifocal toric group had higher depth perception(P=0.577).Mean rotation was 5.76°±3.93°in the trifocal toric group and 12°±7.1°in the bifocal toric group.CONCLUSION:Better results in the middle distance are obtained in the trifocal toric group and less IOL rotation due to digital system-coordinated surgery.Moreover,the overall satisfaction in the trifocal toric group is significantly higher than in the bifocal toric group.
文摘·AIM: To evaluate the quality of vision in respect to high order aberrations and straylight perception after implantation of an aspheric, aberration correcting,monofocal intraocular lens(IOL).·METHODS: Twenty-one patients(34 eyes) aged 50 to83 y underwent cataract surgery with implantation of an aspheric, aberration correcting IOL(Tecnis ZCB00,Abbott Medical Optics). Three months after surgery they were examined for uncorrected(UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA), contrast sensitivity(CS)under photopic and mesopic conditions with and without glare source, ocular high order aberrations(HOA, Zywave II) and retinal straylight(C-Quant).· RESULTS: Postoperatively, patients achieved a postoperative CDVA of 0.0 log MAR or better in 97.1% of eyes. Mean values of high order abberations were +0.02±0.27(primary coma components) and-0.04 ±0.16(spherical aberration term). Straylight values of the C-Quant were 1.35±0.44 log which is within normal range of age matched phakic patients. The CS measurements under mesopic and photopic conditions in combination with and without glare did not show any statistical significance in the patient group observed(P ≥0.28).· CONCLUSION: The implantation of an aspherical aberration correcting monofocal IOL after cataractsurgery resulted in very low residual higher order aberration(HOA) and normal straylight.
文摘Posterior capsule opacification（PCO） remains the most common complication of pediatric cataract surgery despite continuous efforts to reduce its incidence. For this reason, pediatric cataract surgeons have expended considerable effort into preventing and mitigating PCO. The intraocular lens（IOL） optic capture technique has been used for the prevention of PCO after pediatric cataract surgery for more than 20 y, but there is still no professional consensus. However, recent research has shown encouraging results. The IOL optic capture technique can be performed without anterior vitrectomy to prevent PCO, even in younger children. The type and characteristics of IOLs used for optic capture technique, the location of IOL and the complications of IOL optic capture in children are here reviewed.

文摘This study evaluated the safety of a modified method to implant an intraocular lens (IOL) into the capsular bag immediately after capsulorhexis with a whole or partial nucleus to protect the posterior capsule (PC) during phacoemulsification in a series of 12 Morgagnian cataracts. For 3 cases of hypermature cataracts with smaller and rigid nuclei, after a complete capsulorhexis, an IOL was directly inserted into the capsular bag, which protected the PC during the subsequent phacoemulsification process in the iris plate. For the other 9 cases with larger and softer nuclei, after the nucleus was partially emulsified, the IOL was inserted into the bag. Even with an obvious surge for some cases, the surgeries were uneventful in all 12 cases, with no PC rent or vitreous loss. IOL implantation into the capsular bag with a whole or partial nucleus can provide effective protection for the PC for hypermature cataract during phacoemulsification.
文摘At present, the incidence of infectious endophthalmitis after cataract surgery has been significantly reduced, but it is still a serious complication. Removal or not of the intraocular lens(IOL) during vitrectomy in cases with a moderate or severe inflammation is controversial. In order to call upon more discussion, we publish the article entitled “Timely vitrectomy without intraocular lens removal for acute endophthalmitis after cataract surgery” written by Guo et al in this issue. With recent advanced vitrectomy techniques, and critical measures for management of risk factors related to occurrence of infection, IOL remaining during timely vitrectomy for acute endophthalmitis can possibly be safe and effective in selected cases.
文摘Purpose. This paper studies the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) levels in aqueous humor after traumatic cataract extraction and posterior chamber (PC) intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in rabbits,and discusses the effect of TNF on postoperative anterior ocular inflammation. Methods. Twenty seven pigmented rabbits were divided into three groups: for the first group, the IOL were placed in the capsular bag after traumatic cataract extraction; for the second, the Extracapsular cataract extraction without IOL implantation; and for the third, the control group without surgical intervention. On the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th day postoperatively, aqueous humor samples were obtained. A modified double antibodies indirect sandwich ELISA was used to detected for the presence of TNF. The data were studied by means of analysis of variance in SAS software. Result. The TNF level was increased in aqueous humor and reached its maximum on the 1st postoperative days after traumatic cataract extraction and PC IOLs implantation, and the TNF levels are significantly higher (P<0 05) on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th day postoperatively in traumatic cataract extraction and PC IOL implanted group than that in the non surgical intervention group and extracapsular cataract extraction group. Conclusions. The increase of TNF levels had a close relationship with presence of the IOL itself which induces the secretion of TNF. This suggested that TNF as the principal mediators of immunological and inflammatory responses, so that may play critical role in anterior ocular inflammative response after traumatic cataract extraction and IOL implantation.
文摘AIM:To determine the refractive accuracy of the Haigis,Barrett Universal II(Barrett),and Hill-radial basis function 2.0(Hill-RBF)intraocular lens(IOL)power calculations formulas in eyes undergoing manual cataract surgery(MCS)and refractive femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery(Re LACS).METHODS:This was a REB-approved,retrospective interventional comparative case series of 158 eyes of 158 patients who had preoperative biometry completed using the IOL Master 700 and underwent implantation of a Tecnis IOL following uncomplicated cataract surgery using either MCS or ReLACS.Target spherical equivalence(SE)was predicted using the Haigis,Barrett,and Hill-RBF formulas.An older generation formula(Hoffer Q)was included in the analysis.Mean refractive error(ME)was calculated one month postoperatively.The lens factors of all formulas were retrospectively optimized to set the ME to 0 for each formula across all eyes.The median absolute errors(MedAE)and the proportion of eyes achieving an absolute error(AE)within 0.5 diopters(D)were compared between the two formulas among MCS and ReLACS eyes,respectively.RESULTS:Of the 158 eyes studied,64 eyes underwent MCS and 94 eyes underwent ReLACS.Among MCS eyes,the MedAE did not differ between the formulas(P=0.59),however among ReLACS eyes,Barrett and Hill-RBF were more accurate(P=0.001).Barrett and Hill-RBF were both more likely to yield AE<0.5 D among both groups(P<0.001).CONCLUSION:The Barrett and Hill-RBF formula lead to greater refractive accuracy and likelihood of refractive success when compare to Haigis in eyes undergoing Re LACS.
文摘AIM： To assess the binocular visual function in bilateral cataract patients with unilateral astigmatism after combined implantations of Toric with multifocal intraocular lens （IOL）, and to compare with that of Toric and monofocal IOL implantation.METHODS： All the 30 patients with unilateral astigmatism suffered bilateral cataract were randomly divided into two groups： Toric plus multifocal IOL group and Toric plus monofocal IOL group. Uncorrected and corrected visual acuity at distance （5.0 m）, intermediate distance （0.6 m）, and near （0.33 m）, contrast sensitivity, and stereopsis were assessed 6mo after surgery. Patients were also surveyed for visual disturbances and spectacle dependence.RESULTS： Binocular uncorrected visual acuity （LogMAR） of Toric/multifocal IOL eyes at distance, intermediate, near were 0.05±0.05, 0.24±0.10, and 0.14±0.06 respectively. The values of Toric plus monofocal IOL eyes were 0.06±0.07, 0.26±0.08, and 0.37±0.10 respectively. These values did not indicate significant differences between two groups with exception of near visual acuity. In the photopic condition （with or without glare）, the contrast sensitivity of multifocal IOL eyes was significant lower than the monofocal IOL eyes in 18 cpd. In the mesopic condition, the contrast sensitivity of multifocal group was significant lower than monofocal group in 12 cpd, and in mesopic glare condition, this significant difference was found both in 6 cpd and 12 cpd. The stereopsis of Toric/multifocal IOL eyes decreased slightly （100±80 seconds of arc, t=2.222, P=0.136）. Mean near vision for patient satisfaction was statistically significantly higher in Toric/multifocal IOL group patients versus than that in Toric/monofocal IOL group （80% vs 25.5%, P=0.000）. Visual disturbance was not noticed in either group.CONCLUSION： Although the combination of Toric and multifocal IOL implantation results in compromising stereoacuity, it can still provide patients with high levels of spectacle freedom and good overall binocular visual acuity.

文摘As an indispensable part of congenital cataract surgery,intraocular lens(IOL)implantation in infantile patients has long-term positive impacts on visual rehabilitation,as well as postoperative complications inevitably.Timing of IOL implantation in infantile congenital cataract patients is not simply a point-in-time but a personalized decision that comprehensively takes age at surgery,risks of postoperative complications,and economic condition of family in consideration,and combines with choosing suitable IOL type and power.For infants with well-developed eyeballs and good systemic conditions,IOL implantation at six months of age or older is safe and effective.Otherwise,secondary IOL implantation may be a safer choice.
文摘Introduction: To report by using topical anesthesia for standing phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation for two patients who need cataract extraction but unable to lie flat with marked cervical kyphosis due to long-standing ankylosing spondylitis and chronic uveitis. Methods: Two patients are unable to lie flat respectively during phacoemulsification underwent this technique in Jingdong and Tonghai county Hospital of Yunnan province in China. Each patient was positioned erect or semirecumbent in a standard reclining cataract surgical chair. The ceiling-mounted microscope was rotated 60 degrees from the vertical to point toward the patient. Results: The intraoperative and postoperative periods were uneventful in two patients, with good visual outcomes after surgery. Conclusion: This technique is valuable for situations where the patient requires upright positioning because of the inability to recline flat, and should be considered for cases where standard surgical positioning is not possible.
文摘AIM：To analyze the visual outcomes and the posterior capsule opacification（PCO）with the new Incise？MJ14intraocular lens（IOL）implanted through a 1.4 mm clear corneal incision（CCI）in patients who underwent bimanual microincision cataract surgery（B-MICS）.METHODS：Eighty eyes which underwent cataract surgery using B-MICS technique performed by the same experienced surgeon were included in the study：40 eyes were implanted with an Incise？MJ14 IOL through a 1.4 mm CCI（group A）without enlargement of the main CCI,while 40 eyes were implanted with an Akreos？MI60 IOL with enlargement of the main CCI to 1.8 mm（group B）.Best corrected visual acuity（BCVA）,astigmatism and endothelial cell loss were evaluated before and after surgery at 7,30d and 6mo.Anterior segment-optical coherence tomography（AS-OCT）of CCI was performed at 1,3,7,30d,6 and 18mo.PCO incidence was evaluated at 18mo using EPCO 2000 Software.RESULTS：Mean BCVA improvement and endothelial cell loss were statistically significant at 18mo in both groups with no difference between the two groups;no statistically significant difference in surgically induced astigmatism（SIA）was noticed in the two groups.At AS-OCT the only significant alterations in the CCI were endothelial gaping and local detachment of Descemet’s membrane at 1 and 7d after surgery;no statistically significant alterations were found at 1,6 and 18mo.PCO score at 18mo was 0.03±0.07for group A and 0.08±0.18 for group B（P=0.11）with no sign of central optic plate invasion in both groups.CONCLUSION：The implant of the new Incise？MJ14 IOL through a 1.4 mm CCI and B-MICS technique appeared to be a safe and effective procedure with rapid visual recovery.PCO rate resulted very low and the CCI presented few morphological alterations which were only detectable in the first days postoperatively and achieved fast corneal healing during the long-term follow-up.
文摘【正】Dear Sir,Iam Yong-Sun Ahn,from the Department of Ophthalmology of St.Vincent Hospital of Suwon,Kyungki-do,South Korea.Cataracts are a common problem in eyes with a glaucoma drainage device(GDD),because tube shunt surgery increases the incidence and progression of cataracts[1].An Ahmed valve,the most commonly inserted GDD,is composed of a silicone tube connected to a flat plate sewn to the sclera,and aqueous humor flows from the
文摘AIM: To analyze the factors that influence the prediction error (PE). after intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in pediatric cataract. METHODS: The medical records of cataract patients of no more than 14 years old who had primary IOL implantation were reviewed from 2006 to 2010. The PE, absolute value of PE (APE), and predictability between in different axial length, mean corneal curvature, corneal astigmatism, and age at the surgery were analyzed. RESULTS: Seventy-five children (119 eyes) were included, with a mean age of (5.09 +/- 2.54) years. At the follow-up of (1.19 +/- 0.69) months, the mean postoperative PE was (-0.22 +/- 1.12) D, and APE was (0.87 +/- 0.73)D. The PE in eyes with an axial length > 20mm but <= 22mm were significantly under-corrected than that in eyes with longer axis, and the APE in eyes with an axial length <= 20mm was more obvious compared with the others. The correlations between PE and axial length, as well as corneal astigmatism, and between APE and axial length were significant. The predictability was significantly poorer in the eyes with an axial length <= 20mm than the others. CONCLUSION: The axial length is closely related with the PE after IOL implantation in pediatric cataract patients, especially when it is <= 20mm, PE is more significant. The formula that is more suitable to very short axial length should be explored.

文摘A 22-year-old patient suffering from both-side extreme hyperopia with amblyopia was corrected with an Artisan iris-fixated intraocular lens (IOL) implantation followed to clear lens extraction (CLE) with posterior chamber (PC)-IOL implantation. The preoperative refraction values were +17.75DS -1.50DC × 168° for the right eye and +17.25DS -0.75DC × 8° for the left eye. The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 20/200 bilaterally and the spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) was 20/50 bilaterally. One year after Artisan iris-fixated IOL implantation, bilateral BSCVA was 20/50 with a refraction of +1.25DS -0.75DC × 13° for the right eye and +1.50DS -1.00DC × 55° for the left eye. The outcomes of an Artisan iris-fixated IOL implantation followed to CLE with PC-IOL implantation were encouraging for the correction of extreme hyperopia. Long term follow-up examinations were necessary for further determination of the efficacy and safety of this combinational procedure.

文摘AIM: To investigate the effects of intraocular lens(IOL) implantation on visual field(VF) in patients with glaucoma and comorbid cataracts(G&C) with different disease severities.METHODS: Totally 56 eyes of 50 patients with primary G&C were included. All patients were divided into three groups based on the severity of the VF defect: the mild, moderate, and severe stage. Phacoemulsification was performed for cataract removal combined with IOL implantation. Visual acuity(VA) and VF tests were performed for all enrolled patients, up to 3 mo after surgery. Changes in VF threshold and global VF index in various groups were also recorded before and after surgery. The mean light sensitivity(MS) values and the changes following surgery(DMS) were compared between the three groups. Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study(AGIS) scoring was analyzed on all VF results for analysis of changes in VF before and after surgery.RESULTS: Following surgery, the MS values of the three groups of G&C increased significantly, while the AGIS scores decreased statistically in all groups. The DMS values for the three zones in moderate and severe stage but not mild stage were statistically different between zones. The DMS value was significantly higher in zone I than those in zone II and III(zone I>zone II>zone III;P<0.05). The DMS was significantly higher in zone I than that in zone III in moderate stage patients(zone I>zone II>zone III;P<0.01), while the DMS values in the severe stage patients was significantly higher in zone I than those in zone II and III(zone I>zone II>zone III;P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The mean VF sensitivity of glaucoma patients increased significantly after cataract removal and IOL implantation. Variations in the severity and distribution of characteristics of VF defects result in differences in postoperative VF improvements after cataract surgery. The magnitude of increase in VF sensitivity is associated with VF defect characteristic in glaucoma.
