Intraoperative OCT evaluation of the stability and centering of carlevale IOL with different intrascleral fixation techniques.

Background: To evaluate intrascleral plug stability and correct centring of the IOL in three different surgical techniques using intraoperative anterior segment OCT.

Methods: This retrospective scientific study was conducted by reviewing patient records from the Ophthalmology Unit at the Civico Hospital of Palermo, covering the period between 2021 and 2022. Three distinct groups of patients, each consisting of 7 eyes from 7 individual patients, were included in this study.

UNILATERAL MACULAR HOLE IN A PATIENT WITH RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA TREATED WITH COVER FLAP TECHNIQUE WITH THE USE OF PLATELET-RICH PLASMA UNDER AIR TAMPONADE.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to show the excellent anatomical result of the inverted flap-assisted technique with platelet-rich plasma under air for retinitis pigmentosa complicated with macular hole.

Methods: A 32-year-old woman, previously diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, was referred to our department complaining of decreased central vision in her left eye for 4 weeks. At the time of presentation, the optical coherence tomography and fundoscopy examination showed the presence of a macular hole of 620 μ m in diameter.

PCB-Based Planar Inductive Loops for Partial Discharges Detection in Power Cables.

Partial discharge (PD) diagnosis tests, including detecting, locating, and identifying, are used to trace defects or faults and assess the degree of aging in order to monitor the insulation condition of medium- and high-voltage power cables. In this context, an experimental evaluation of three different printed circuit board (PCB)-based inductive sensor topologies, with spiral, non-spiral, and meander shapes, is performed. The aim is to assess their capabilities for PD detection along a transmission power cable.

Live surgery outcomes in cataract surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the outcomes of live surgery (LS) and no-live surgery (NLS) on cataract surgery with implantation of different types of intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Methods: Retrospective, contralateral eye, case series of patients that underwent cataract surgery in live or non-live view during two consecutive editions of national meetings. Both eyes of the same patients were implanted with the same IOL, one in LS and the other in NLS.

Comparison of clinical performance and subjective outcomes between two diffractive trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) and one monofocal IOL in bilateral cataract surgery.

Background: To compare clinical outcomes and subjective experience after bilateral implantation of two diffractive trifocal and one monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Methods: Fourty-eight patients received bilateral implantation of the RayOne Trifocal IOL (Rayner), the AcrySof IQ PanOptix IOL (Alcon), or the AcrySof IQ SN60WF IOL (Alcon). At 1-month, 3-month, and 12-month follow-up visits, the tested outcomes were monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected distance, intermediate at 70 cm, and near at 30 cm visual acuities, subjective refractive outcomes, defocus curves, contrast sensitivity and ocular aberrometry.
