Capsular tension ring as protective measure against in-the-bag dislocations after cataract surgery.

Purpose: To assess the influence of capsular tension ring (CTR) implantation on the development of in-the-bag (ITB) dislocations after cataract surgery.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology Graz, Graz, Austria.

Design: Single-center, retrospective cohort study.

Influence of combined phacovitrectomy without tamponade on intraocular lens displacement and postoperative refraction.

Purpose: To compare phacoemulsification versus phacovitrectomy regarding postoperative intraocular lens (IOL) shift and refraction.

Methods: This prospective bilateral comparison study included 40 eyes of 20 patients. Inclusion criteria were combined phacovitrectomy without gas/air tamponade in one eye and cataract surgery in the contralateral eye with implantation of the same IOL.

Impact of intraocular lens characteristics on intraocular lens dislocation after cataract surgery.

Background: To assess the influence of intraocular lens (IOL) characteristics on IOL dislocations after cataract surgery.

Methods: Patients who underwent cataract surgery at the Department of Ophthalmology Graz, Austria, between 1996 and 2017 were included and medical records were reviewed. Cox proportional-hazard regression models were used to assess the influence of IOL characteristics on IOL dislocation.
