Clinical outcomes and optical performance of a new segmental refractive extended depth-of-focus intraocular lens.

Background: The visual performance and the optical quality of a segmental refractive extended depth-of-focus (EDoF) intraocular lens (IOL) were evaluated in a prospective, single-arm, single-center study.

Methods: A total of 20 patients (40 eyes) after bilateral implantation of the refractive segmental EDoF Acunex Vario AN6V were included. Assessment procedure: refraction outcome, monocular and binocular uncorrected (UCVA) and distance-corrected visual acuity (DCVA), defocus curve, contrast sensitivity (CS), higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and patient satisfaction were evaluated 1 and 3 months after surgery.

Prevalence of Promoter Mutations in Orbital Solitary Fibrous Tumors.

The orbital manifestation of a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is exceptionally rare and poses specific challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Its rather exceptional behavior among all SFTs comprises a high tendency towards local recurrence, but it rarely culminates in metastatic disease. This raises the question of prognostic factors in orbital SFTs (oSFTs).

Ophthalmological and Interdisciplinary Surgical Approaches to the Orbit.

The treatment of orbital masses often requires an interdisciplinary approach. Ophthalmological surgical approaches include the anterior transcutaneous approach for removal of dermoids or taking biopsies. Anterior transconjunctival orbitotomy is suitable for masses of the inferior orbit or the intraconal compartment, but is inappropriate for masses of the orbital apex.

The Supraorbital Eyebrow Approach in Pediatric Neurosurgery: Perspectives and Challenges of Frontal Keyhole Surgery.

Object: Supraorbital craniotomy via an eyebrow incision provides minimally invasive cosmetically favorable access to both orbital and intracranial pathologies. We describe the indication, surgical technique, and clinical course using this surgical approach in a cohort of patients from a single pediatric neurosurgery unit.

Methods: In a retrospective analysis, we identified all surgical cases between January 2013 and April 2022 who underwent the supraorbital craniotomy via an eyebrow incision.
