Femtosecond-Assisted Mushroom Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe our technique for performing femtosecond laser (FSL)-assisted mushroom configuration in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK).

Methods: We describe our surgical technique for a mushroom-configuration DALK using a femtosecond laser (FSL) both to prepare the graft and to perform a precut of the recipient cornea, as well as the steps for the dissection of the recipient cornea and for donor cornea implantation. Moreover, we show the parameters of energy and spot separation and the external and internal diameters as well as the thickness of the external and internal keratotomy.

Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty and Descemet Stripping Only Using a 3D Visualization System.

(1) Purpose: The aim was to analyze the outcomes of Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and Descemet stripping only (DSO) surgeries using a glasses-assisted NGENUITY 3D visualization system (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX, USA). (2) Methods: Five consecutive cases of DMEK surgery and four consecutive cases of DSO were performed using the NGENUITY system in this prospective study carried out at the Arruzafa Hospital, Córdoba, Spain. Only one eye from each patient received surgery.

Management of low astigmatism in implantable collamer lens surgery: opposite clear corneal incisions vs toric implantable collamer lens.

Purpose: To compare 2 techniques to correct low astigmatism during implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery: astigmatic opposite clear corneal incisions (OCCIs) and toric ICL (T-ICL).

Setting: Arruzafa Ophthalmological Hospital, Cordoba, Spain.

Design: Randomized prospective comparative study.

Surgical correction of corneal opacity and aniridia with penetrating keratoplasty and a new iris prosthesis implant.

Purpose: This study is to describe the clinical outcome of penetrating keratoplasty combined with implantation of a novel intraocular lens with an artificial iris, aided by continuous vitreous chamber infusion, in patients with severe aniridia and corneal alterations.

Methods: This was a prospective single-center case series study involving five patients with corneal alterations and aniridia. All subjects underwent simultaneous penetrating keratoplasty and implantation of a new intraocular lens with an artificial iris with the assistance of infusion into the vitreous chamber to regulate intraocular pressure during the surgical procedure.

Comparison Between the Wavefront-Optimized and Custom-Q Aspheric Ablation Profiles in Myopic Eyes With Two Different Q-targets: A Contralateral Eye Study.

Purpose: To compare two aspheric ablation profiles in myopic refractive surgery using different asphericity targets.

Methods: Patients underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with the WaveLight EX500 laser platform (Alcon, WaveLight Laser Technologie). Asymmetric surgery was performed, programming the wavefront-optimized (WFO) ablation profile in one eye and the custom-Q (CQ) profile in the contralateral eye.

Early patient-reported outcomes of cataract surgery with implantation of the trifocal liberty 677MY intraocular lens: A pilot study.

Purpose: To report our first clinical and patient-reported outcomes in the early postoperative period with a new model of trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL).

Methods: Pilot prospective analysis of the results of 26 eyes of 13 patients (age, 44-79 years) undergoing cataract surgery with implantation of the trifocal diffractive IOL Liberty 677MY (Medicontur Medical Engineering Ltd., Zsámbék, Hungary).

Visual Performance, Satisfaction, and Spectacle Independence after Implantation of a New Hydrophobic Trifocal Intraocular Lens.

The main objective was to evaluate distance, intermediate, and near vision in patients who have undergone cataract extraction with bilateral implantation of a new trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL), along with patient-reported outcomes (PRO). A total of 50 eyes from 25 patients after Asqelio Trifocal IOL (AST Products, Inc., Billerica MA, USA) implantation were assessed in this study.

Nomogram for single-pass automated microkeratome graft preparation for ultrathin Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty.

Purpose: To create a nomogram including the translational speed of the microkeratome blade, microkeratome head size and precut tissue thickness to predict the postcut thickness for Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty to obtain the thinnest possible graft.

Methods: This prospective study incorporated 48 grafts for DSAEK from March 2017 to June 2020. Corneal tissue for DSAEK was prepared by 3 experienced physicians using the Moria Evolution 3E (Moria Inc, Antony, France) microkeratome with 400, 450 and 500 μm head sizes.

Aberrometric, Keratometric, and Visual Outcomes After Trans-Epithelial Topography-Guided Phototherapeutic Keratectomy for the Treatment of Irregular Corneas.

Purpose: To assess the safety, aberrometric and keratometric changes, and stability of trans-epithelial topography-guided phototherapeutic keratectomy (TE-TG-PTK) with mitomycin C (MMC) using the ALLEGRO Topolyzer platform for the treatment of irregular astigmatism.

Methods: This is a retrospective case series including 57 eyes that underwent TE-TG-PTK + MMC using the ALLEGRO Topolyzer platform for the treatment of irregular astigmatism. CDVA, manifest refraction (MR), keratometry readings, and aberrometry readings were analyzed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

Astigmatism correction with toric implantable collamer lens in low and high astigmatism groups.

Purpose: To analyze the target induced astigmatism (TIA), surgically induced astigmatism (SIA), difference vector (DV), and correction index (CI) in the correction of astigmatism with phakic lenses, and its influence on visual acuity, and to analyze the safety and efficacy indexes of the correction of high and low power astigmatism with toric phakic lenses.

Design: Retrospective comparative study.

Methods: The medical records of patients that were operated on at the research center during the period were analyzed.
