Removal of Metallic Foreign Bodies with Complete Penetration of the Cornea: Introduction of a New Approach.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to present a new ab interno approach and relevant case series using a polymer-tipped cannula for the removal of metallic foreign bodies that penetrate the full thickness of the cornea and are located in the posterior corneal region.

Methods: Corneal foreign bodies located on the posterior side of the cornea were gently pushed toward the epithelial side with a polymer-tipped cannula placed using a side-port incision, to be removed without damaging the corneal endothelial layer. The polymer-tipped cannula is specially angled to keep it at a distance from the corneal endothelial layer.

Effectiveness of ketorolac-soaked bandage contact lens for pain management after photorefractive keratectomy.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of ketorolac-soaked contact lenses (CLs) on postoperative pain after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and their potential side effects including conjunctival hyperaemia and delayed epithelial healing.

Methods: This is a prospective, randomised, double-blind, contralateral eye study. A total of 310 eyes of 155 patients who underwent PRK in both eyes were included in the study.

Results of Unilateral Lateral Rectus Recession Surgery in 15 - 30 PD Intermittent Exotropia.

Purpose: To evaluate the surgical outcomes of unilateral lateral rectus muscle recession (ULR) with low surgical dosage in patients with intermittent exotropia (IXT) of 15 - 30 prism dioptres (PD).

Methods: We retrospectively analysed 92 eyes of 92 patients who underwent ULR surgery with the diagnosis of IXT of 15 - 30 PD at distance fixation between January 2017 and June 2019. ULR surgery of 6.

Alternative Approach for the Treatment of Conjunctivochalasis: Plasma-Based Conjunctivoplasty.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of plasma-based conjunctivoplasty as a new surgical approach for conjunctivochalasis.

Methods: This prospective, noncomparative, interventional study included research on 42 eyes of 33 patients who underwent plasma therapy because of conjunctivochalasis between February 2020 and December 2021. Maintaining a 2-mm distance from the limbus, at least 3 lines (approximately 2 mm deep) of plasma therapy were applied to the conjunctiva from the temporal quadrant to the nasal quadrant.

Effectiveness of toric IOL and capsular tension ring suturing technique for rotational stability in eyes with long axial length.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the toric intraocular lens (IOL) and capsular tension ring (CTR) suturing technique in eyes with long axial length (AL) with a high risk of toric IOL rotation.

Methods: This is a retrospective observational case series. The data files of patients who underwent a one-piece acrylic toric IOL (Tecnis Toric IOL and Acrysof IQ Toric IOL) implantation with the toric IOL and CTR suturing technique for cataract and astigmatism or toric IOL repositioning were analyzed.

Comparison of Capsular Tension Ring Implantation before vs. after Toric Intraocular Lens for Rotational Stability.

Purpose: To compare the effect of implanting the capsular tension ring (CTR) before or after a toric intraocular lens (IOL) on rotational stability in patients with cataract and astigmatism.

Methods: This is a randomized retrospective study. Patients who underwent phacoemulsification combined with toric IOL implantation due to cataract and astigmatism between February 2018 and October 2019 were enrolled in the study.

Conjunctival Autografts for Ocular Surface Reconstruction after Conjunctival Nevus Excision.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and therapeutic outcomes of the cases where we used conjunctival autografts with and without the Tenon fascia for ocular surface reconstruction after conjunctival nevus excision.

Methods: This study included 63 eyes of 63 patients who underwent conjunctival nevus excision between January 2013 and December 2020. Although a Tenon-free conjunctival autograft was used in 32 eyes of 32 patients in group 1, a Tenon-containing conjunctival autograft was used in 31 eyes of 31 patients in group 2.

Methods: This retrospective comparative case series included 61 eyes of 31 patients. Group 1 consisted of 31 eyes of 16 patients who underwent piggyback implantation of a one-piece IOL along with a three-piece IOL into the capsular bag.

Facilitated trailing haptic externalization technique for intrascleral intraocular lens fixation.

Purpose: To describe the facilitated trailing haptic externalization technique for intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation.

Methods: In this technique, first the direction of the 4-5 mm tip of the trailing haptic is straightened with the help of forceps. After the second needle enters the posterior chamber, the edge of the IOL optic is pushed towards the opposite scleral tunnel with the needle.

Intrascleral fixation of capsular bag and intraocular lens in cases with large zonular dialysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of sutureless capsular bag and intraocular lens (IOL) fixation with flattened, flanged intrascleral fixation technique in patients with large zonular dialysis.

Methods: Fifty-five eyes of 51 patients who underwent flattened flanged intrascleral capsular bag and IOL fixation and optic capture for traumatic cataract, subluxated cataract, and pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) with zonular dialysis greater than 180° were included in the study. The main difference of this technique from the Yamane technique is that it has a flattened flange with sharp borders at the haptic tip.
