Rotational stability and capsular bag performance of a hydrophobic acrylic open-loop single-piece intraocular lens.

Purpose: To evaluate the rotational stability and capsular bag performance of a blue light-absorbing hydrophobic acrylic open-loop single-piece intraocular lens (IOL) with a blast-finished anchor wing haptic design during the first 6 postoperative months.

Methods: In this prospective clinical study, patients with age-related cataract and potential postoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) of 0.2 logMAR or better were included.

Anterior chamber depth variability between 2 hydrophobic acrylic 1-piece intraocular lenses: randomized trial.

Purpose: To analyze the difference in anterior chamber depth (ACD) after uneventful cataract surgery between 2 hydrophobic acrylic 1-piece intraocular lenses (IOLs) with different material properties.

Setting: Hanusch Hospital, Vienna, Austria.

Design: Single-center, bilateral randomized paired-eye controlled study.

Repeatability of 2 swept-source OCT biometers and 1 optical low-coherence reflectometry biometer.

Aim: To compare the repeatability of 2 swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) biometers, IOLMaster 700 (biometer A, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) and ANTERION (biometer B, Heidelberg Engineering GmbH) and 1 optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR) device (biometer C, LENSTAR, LS900; Haag-Streit AG).

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Hanusch Hospital, Vienna Institute for Research in Ocular Surgery-Karl Landsteiner Institute, Vienna, Austria.

Design: Prospective study that included patients scheduled for cataract surgery.

Capsular bag performance of a novel hydrophobic acrylic single-piece intraocular lens: Two-year results of a randomised controlled trial.

Purpose: To determine the visual outcome, intraocular lens (IOL) stability and posterior capsule opacification (PCO) rate of a hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens.

Setting: Vienna Institute for Research in Ocular Surgery, Hanusch Hospital, Vienna, Austria.

Design: This double-masked randomised study included patients who underwent standard cataract surgery.

Comparison of 2 swept-source optical coherence tomography-based biometry devices.

Purpose: To compare 2 swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) biometers, IOLMaster 700 (biometer A), and ANTERION (biometer B).

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Vienna Institute for Research in Ocular Surgery, Karl Landsteiner Institute, Hanusch Hospital, Vienna, Austria.

Design: Retrospective study.

Capsular fibrosis: a review of prevention methods and management.

Opacification of the posterior capsule caused by residual lens epithelial cells (LEC) is still the most frequent long-term complication of cataract surgery. Beside the opacification of the visual axis with posterior capsule opacification (PCO), resulting in a decrease in visual function, fibrotic changes may also have a mechanical effect on intraocular lens (IOL) position such as axial shift, decentration, tilt and capsule striae. In this article, two types of capsular fibrosis are explored, on the one hand the anterior capsule fibrosis and on the other hand PCO.

NONICHEMIC CENTRAL RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION ASSOCIATED WITH HEREDITARY THROMBOPHYLIA.

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second most common retinal vein disease with significant visual loss via thrombus or compression of vein wall. Thrombophilia is the predisposition to vascular thrombosis with the existence of genetic defect that leads to blood hypercoagulability. This report describes the case of a 55 year old male patient, with an active life who presented himself at the emergency room with acute visual lose, insidious and progressive visual field constriction, without any known history of neurological or vascular diseases.
