Senile Cataract Formation Does Not Affect Crystalline Lens Thickness.

Introduction: Characterizing lens thickness (LT) in patients with cataracts is important for better understanding the lens aging process and for designing new intraocular lens power formulas. This study aimed to analyze the influence of common senile cataract formation on the LT, anterior (ACS) and posterior (PCS) cortex space, and nuclear thickness (NT), controlling for sex, age, and axial length.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed.

Relationship between the main components of the crystalline lens and the anterior chamber depth after cataract formation.

Purpose: To assess the relationship between anterior chamber depth (ACD) and lens thickness (LT), as well as its three main components (anterior and posterior cortex and nucleus thickness), in cataractous and non-cataractous eyes, depending on the axial length (AxL).

Methods: Anterior and posterior cortex and nucleus thickness of the crystalline lens, ACD, and AxL were measured using optical low-coherence reflectometry in cataractous and non-cataractous eyes. They were also classified into hyperopia, emmetropia, myopia, and high myopia, depending on AxL; thus, eight subgroups were created.

Primary periocular squamous cell carcinoma in central Spain: Factors related to recurrence.

Purpose: To describe the characteristics and recurrence rates of primary periocular squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in Spain.

Methods: This retrospective study investigates the characteristics of primary periocular SCC at two tertiary centers in Spain from 2000 to 2020. Data were collected on demographics, skin phenotype, location, clinical and histological diagnosis, the commitment of surgical margins, recurrence, and risk factors.

One Triangle-Blepharoplasty Flap for Anterior Lamellae Pretarsal Defects on the Upper Eyelid.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to present the outcomes of one triangle blepharoplasty flap upper eyelid (UE) reconstruction. It is a hardly recognized technique used to repair anterior lamella pretarsal defects resulting from the removal of lesions on the UE.

Methods: Retrospective review of three excised lesions reconstructed with one triangle-blepharoplasty flap technique between 2017 and 2020 at Río Hortega University Hospital in Valladolid, Spain.

Solitary fibrofolliculoma: a retrospective case series review over 18 years.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report a series of cases of solitary fibrofolliculoma, a lesion seldom observed in the lids. Demographics, as well as clinical and histological aspects of the lesion were evaluated.

Methods: This was a retrospective case series spanning a period of 18 years.

Changes in Lower Lid Position after Standard Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate the changes on the position of the lower lid after phacoemulsification surgery using objective methods.

Methods: This prospective study evaluated the lower lid position of cataract carriers who underwent to phacoemulsification surgery from January to May 2017. Data were collected on demographics, type of anesthesia, duration of the surgical procedure, and duration of the speculum remained in place.

Characteristics and Recurrence of Primary Eyelid Basal Cell Carcinoma in Central Spain.

Purpose: To define the incidence, characteristics, and management of eyelid basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in Central Spain.

Methods: This retrospective study investigates the characteristics and the outcome of eyelid BCC from 2000 to 2016 in a central region of Spain. Data were collected on demographics, skin phenotype, location of the eyelid lesion, clinical and histological diagnosis, surgery, commitment of surgical margins, and recurrence rate.

Ocular emergencies presenting to an emergency department in Central Spain from 2013 to 2018.

Purpose: To determine the frequency of ocular conditions among patients presenting to an emergency department at a tertiary hospital in Spain.

Methods: A retrospective, longitudinal analysis of all patients who presented to the ocular emergency department of Rio Hortega University Hospital, Valladolid, Spain, from 2013 to 2018 was performed. Data on demographics, ophthalmic examination, and diagnosis were collected.

An Objective Evaluation of the Upper Eyelid Position after Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery.

: To objectively measure the upper eyelid position following phacoemulsification cataract surgery and to identify the determinants of postoperative transient ptosis. : This is a single arm prospective study of patients who underwent cataract surgery from January to May 2017 at a tertiary Eye Hospital in Spain. Data comprised of: the type of anesthesia, the duration that the speculum remained in place and the total surgical time (duration of the procedure).

Phenotypic high myopia in X-linked retinitis pigmentosa secondary to a novel mutation in the RPGR gene.

Background: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease causing progressive degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells. The most severe form of this disease is X-linked RP (XLRP), in which photoreceptor degeneration begins in early childhood and complete blindness often occurs by the fourth decade of life. Two genes commonly associated with XLRP have been previously identified.

Periocular inverted follicular keratosis: a retrospective series over 17 years.

Purpose: To evaluate the demographic, clinical, and histopathologic characteristics of periocular inverted follicular keratosis (IFK), a very rare lesion with poorly defined characteristics.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Methods: We evaluated 11 patients with clinically diagnosed IFK confirmed by histologic analysis.
