Assessment of the refractive outcomes of patients with regular corneal astigmatism implanted with high-power toric intraocular lenses.

Background: To describe the refractive outcomes of eyes with high regular corneal astigmatism undergoing age-related cataract surgery.

Methods: Astigmatic patients who underwent cataract surgery with implantation of high-power XY1AT HOYA toric lenses (IOLs) (≥ T5) between March 2020 and June 2022 were included. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the type of Total Corneal Astigmatism (TCA) used for the toric IOL calculation: group 1 = TCA (TCA measured by the Iol Master 700) and group 2 = TCA (TCA estimated from the anterior keratometry of the Iol Master 700 and using the Abulafia-Koch regression).

Comparison of corneal topography maps obtained using the IOLMaster 700 and the Anterion in candidates for toric IOL implantation.

Objectives: To compare central corneal topography (CT) obtained using the IOLMaster 700 biometer to corneal topography obtained using a Swept-Source OCT-based predicated topographer (PT), in candidates for toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Methods: A retrospective comparative study was conducted in consecutive patients undergoing a routine cataract surgery assessment with significant astigmatism on keratometry. Each patient was examined using both the IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) and the Anterion (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) for routine preoperative measurements.

Long-term real-life outcomes of the Clareon® hydrophobic intraocular lens: the Clarte study in 191 eyes : 3-years real-life outcomes of the Clareon® intraocular lens.

Background: To describe and analyze the real-life refractive, functional and safety outcomes of the Clareon® intraocular lens (IOL) after 3 years.

Methods: Data was collected retrospectively for observational purposes between July 2017 and December 2019 in the ophthalmology department of Desgenettes military hospital in Lyon, France. Eyes that underwent cataract surgery with Claeron® implantation were consecutively included.

A prospective multicentre study of intravitreal injections and ocular surface in 219 patients: IVIS study.

Purpose: To assess the impact of intravitreal injections (IVTI) on ocular surface of patients treated with multiple injections.

Methods: Prospective, tricentric study conducted in patients treated with unilateral IVTI. An asepsis protocol with povidone-iodine was used for all patients during IVTI.

Impact of measured total keratometry versus anterior keratometry on the refractive outcomes of the AT TORBI 709-MP toric intraocular lens.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the visual and refractive outcomes of total keratometry (TK) versus anterior keratometry (AK) measurements of the IOLMaster 700® (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) in surgery for age-related cataract with preexisting corneal astigmatism.

Methods: Monocentric retrospective comparative study. The IOLMaster 700® biometer was used in the 2 groups: in AK mode (AK group) and in TK mode (TK group), for toric IOL (AT TORBI 709 MP) calculation with ZCALC®, Zeiss toric IOL calculator.

[Descemet's membrane detachment after phacoemulsification: Series of 9 cases].

Purpose: Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) is a rare but potentially serious complication of cataract surgery. Although there are no consensual guidelines regarding the diagnosis or treatment of DMD, incorrect treatment may result in irreversible corneal changes with visual sequellae. The purpose of our study is to describe the diagnosis and treatment of DMD.

Increasing time delay from presentation until surgical referral for hepatobiliary malignancies.

Background: Studies have shown that delayed treatment of several non-hepatobiliary (HB) malignancies is associated with adverse effects on disease progression and survival. Delayed treatment of HB malignancies has not been thoroughly investigated.

Methods: We performed a retrospective institutional review of patients referred to the Hepatobiliary Surgery Service at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) for hepatobiliary malignancies from 2002 to 2008.

Successful DCD kidney transplantation using early corticosteroid withdrawal.

Organs from donors after cardiac death (DCD) are being increasingly utilized. Prior reports of DCD kidney transplantation involve the use of prednisone-based immunosuppression. We report our experience with early corticosteroid withdrawal (ECSW).

Timing of sirolimus conversion influences recovery of renal function in liver transplant recipients.

The long-term use of calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) leads to renal dysfunction in many liver transplant (LT) recipients. The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate renal function in patients converted from CNI to sirolimus (SRL). From May 2002-November 2006, 137 LT were performed in 125 patients, 72 of which were converted to SRL.
