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.

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.

Supporting IOL'S in a Deficient Capsular Environment: The Tale of No "Tails".

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the following three distinct surgical procedures for secondary IOL implantation without capsular support: Iris-claw lens, flanged transscleral fixated IOLs (Yamane technique), and sutureless transscleral hook IOL fixation (Carlevale IOL).

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective comparative study, three different sutureless IOL implantation techniques were compared in patients without any capsular support. Visual acuity and outcomes were analyzed in 24 eyes of 23 patients (14 male and 9 female).

One Year Outcomes and Stability of a Novel Scleral Anchored Intraocular Lens.

Purpose: To assess one year results and stability of the implantation of a scleral anchored intraocular lens (IOL).

Design: Interventional prospective case series.

Methods: Sixty eyes of 60 patients affected by either aphakia or IOL dislocation were included in this study.

Utility of anterior segment optical coherence tomography in the surgical planning of superficial sclerectomy in oculodermal melanocytosis (nevus of Ota): A case report and review of literature.

Purpose: to report the utility of Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS OCT) for planning superficial sclerectomy in a patient with nevus of Ota.

Observations: Oculodermal melanocytosis, also called nevus of Ota, is a benign pigmentary disorder that involves the skin innervated by the first and second branches of the trigeminal nerve. To reduce these black or brownish lesions, different surgical treatments have been reported, such as flipped scleral flap, sclera allograft and the grabbing method.

Evaluation of the Morphology of Ganglion Cell Complex and Functional Outcomes after Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling with Macular Abrasion in Idiopathic Macular Hole.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the morphology of ganglion cell complex (GCC) along with functional outcomes in patients undergoing vitrectomy with ILM peeling and macular abrasion with Tano diamond dusted membrane scrapers (DDMS) for three different stages of the idiopathic macular hole (IMH).

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted between April 2019 and December 2019. 33 patients with IMH were included and divided into three groups: stage I, stage II, and stage IV.

Multidisciplinary Approach to the Diagnosis and In-Hospital Management of COVID-19 Infection: A Narrative Review.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 disease) was declared a pandemic on 11th March 2020 by the World Health Organization. This unprecedented circumstance has challenged hospitals' response capacity, requiring significant structural and organizational changes to cope with the surge in healthcare demand and to minimize in-hospital risk of transmission. As our knowledge advances, we now understand that COVID-19 is a multi-systemic disease rather than a mere respiratory tract infection, therefore requiring holistic care and expertise from various medical specialties.

Ex vivo photoactivated chromophore for keratitis-corneal crosslinking on inverted graft: new approach to manage interface infectious keratitis after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.

A 44-year-old man affected by keratoconus underwent deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). Two weeks postoperatively, slitlamp examination showed grayish-white lesions in the donor-host interface. Corneal scraping and donor broth culture tested negative for both bacteria and fungi.

Limited Vitrectomy versus Complete Vitrectomy for Epiretinal Membranes: A Comparative Multicenter Trial.

Purpose: To evaluate whether limited vitrectomy is as effective as complete vitrectomy in eyes with epiretinal membrane (ERM) and to compare the surgical times and rates of complications.

Methods: In this multicentre European study, data of eyes with ERM that underwent vitrectomy from January 2017 to July 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. In the limited vitrectomy group, a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was induced up till the equator as opposed to complete PVD induction till the vitreous base in the comparison group.

In vivo evaluation of a 1-piece foldable sutureless intrascleral fixation intraocular lens using ultrasound biomicroscopy and anterior segment OCT.

Purpose: To evaluate the optic plate and haptics of a specially designed sutureless intrascleral-fixated intraocular lens (IOL) using ultrasound biomicroscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).

Torsional phacoemulsification: A pilot study to revise the "harm scale" evaluating the endothelial damage and the visual acuity after cataract surgery.

Purpose: To study the effect of torsional phacoemulsification energy on corneal endothelium evaluating the relationship between changes of endothelial cells and postoperative visual acuity.

Methods: This prospective clinical observational cohort study included 50 patients with cataract who underwent torsional phacoemulsification. Sequential quantitative and qualitative morphometric endothelial cell analyses of the cornea were performed four weeks preoperatively and six weeks postoperatively using noncontact specular microscopy.
