Comparison of refractive outcomes in patients following scleral fixated intraocular lens implantation with Yamane and Z-suture techniques.

Purpose: To compare visual and refractive outcomes in aphakic patients who underwent scleral fixated intraocular lens (SF-IOL) implantation with Yamane and Z-suture techniques.

Design: Retrospective study.

Methods: Patients who underwent SF-IOL implantation with Yamane and Z-suture techniques due to aphakia between 2021 and 2023 were analyzed.

Clinical outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segment (CAIRS) in the treatment of keratoconus.

Background: To evaluate the results of corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segment (CAIRS) implantation in keratoconus.

Methods: The medical records of patients with keratoconus who underwent CAIRS implantation were reviewed. The CAIRS, prepared by trephination from the donor cornea, was implanted into a tunnel created using the femtosecond laser.

Long-term results of accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking in paediatric patients with progressive keratoconus: 10-year follow-up.

Objectives: To evaluate the 10-year visual, refractive, and tomographic outcomes of epithelium-off accelerated corneal collagen cross-linking (ACCL) in paediatric patients with progressive keratoconus (KC) and to compare the stages in terms of re-progression.

Methods: Patients under 18 years of age with progressive KC who underwent ACCL between 2010 and 2012 and completed at least 10 years of follow-up were included in this retrospective study. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), refractive errors, and corneal tomography parameters were evaluated preoperatively and at 1, 5, and 10 years postoperatively.

Comparison of three techniques for simultaneous intraocular lens implantation in subluxated cataract surgery: Transconjunctival intrascleral, Z-suture knotless transscleral, and Cionni capsular tension ring assisted.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of three different methods of intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in the surgery of subluxated cataracts.

Methods: In this retrospective, comparative, clinical interventional study, the medical records of patients who underwent IOL implantation with sutureless 27-gauge needle-assisted transconjunctival intrascleral (Group 1), Z-suture knotless transscleral (Group 2), and Cionni capsular tension ring (Cionni-CTR) assisted (Group 3) simultaneously with subluxated cataract extraction between June 2010 and June 2022 were evaluated. Demographic characteristics, follow-up times, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), spherical and cylindrical refractive values, and spherical equivalent (SE) values of three groups were compared.
