One-Year Clinical Outcomes Following Aspheric Toric Monofocal IOL with a Double C-Loop Haptic Design Implantation.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate one-year clinical outcomes in cataract patients with pre-existing corneal astigmatism implanted with a biconvex aspheric toric monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) with a double C-loop haptic-design.

Methods: One hundred and eighteen patients (236 eyes) with corneal astigmatism (≥0.75D) were implanted bilaterally with the PODEYE toric IOL and assessed up to 1-year after surgery.

Efficacy and safety of intense pulsed light of upper and lower eyelids in Meibomian gland dysfunction: A prospective multicentric study.

Purpose: To demonstrate that intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) of the upper and lower eyelids with meibomian gland expression (MGX) is effective in improving dry eye disease due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Methods: Patients with ocular discomfort (Ocular Surface Disease Index -OSDI- above 13) and signs of MGD were recruited. All patients underwent OSDI, visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure, Schirmer test, meibography, non-invasive tear breakup time (NITBUT), slit-lamp examination (corneal and conjunctival staining, hyperemia, gland expressibility, and meibum quality), tear osmolarity and lipid layer thickness.

Novel technique for late scleromalacia in a ciliary body melanoma due to brachytherapy.

Introduction: We describe a technique using an sclerocorneal endograft sewed through the cornea to solve late scleromalacia following exoresection and brachytherapy of a ciliary body melanoma.

Methods: Vitrectomy ports were placed. A perforating 400-micron trepan keratoplasty of the cornea was performed allowing the prepared donor graft to be inserted and sutured in place.

Immediate bilateral sequential cataract surgery.

Purpose: There is a constant controversy between performing cataract surgery for one eye or for both eyes in the same surgical session. The objective of this study is to review the scientific evidence on the efficacy and safety, determine the reduction of costs of sequential bilateral cataract surgery on the same day compared to unilateral cataract surgery, as well as to compare the rate of associated complications.

Methods: A comprehensive search of the PubMed and Web of Science databases has been conducted to identify relevant articles on sequential bilateral cataract surgery from 2000 to 31 of December of 2020.

Clinical Outcomes after Surgical Resection Combined with Brachytherapy for Uveal Melanomas.

Currently, brachytherapy is the most commonly used therapeutic approach for uveal melanomas. Surgical resection by means of endoresection or exoresection is an alternative approach. The present report recounts our experience over 15 years in the treatment of uveal melanoma using a combined approach of resection surgery with brachytherapy.

Evidence in the prevention of the recurrence of herpes simplex and herpes zoster keratitis after eye surgery.

Objective: Herpetic keratitis, either due to herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) or herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO), can recur after eye surgery.º Prophylaxis is postulated as necessary to avoid it. The objective of this study was to review the scientific evidence on the preventive methods used in the perioperative period in patients previously affected by HSK/HZO.

Hypochlorous acid as an antiseptic in the care of patients with suspected COVID-19 infection.

Purpose: The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19 disease, is transmitted by aerosols or by contact with infected surfaces. The route of entry to the body is through the nasal, oral or conjunctival mucosa. Health workers must use effective protection measures against the entry of the virus into mucous membranes, both physical and antiseptic filters.

Efficacy of Tocilizumab in Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Corticosteroid-Resistant Graves Orbitopathy: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of the anti-interleukin-6 receptor monoclonal antibody tocilizumab in patients with moderate-to-severe corticosteroid-resistant Graves orbitopathy (GO).

Design: Double-masked randomized clinical trial.

Methods: Setting and Participants: Thirty-two adults with moderate-to-severe corticosteroid-resistant GO from 10 medical centers in Spain were randomized (1:1).

Extreme Surgical Maneuvers in Fungal Endophthalmitis.

Purpose: To present the different evolution of 2 cases of endophthalmitis caused by Fusarium solani, an aggressive filamentous fungus, depending on the medical and surgical treatment performed.

Methods: We present 2 cases of endophthalmitis caused by Fusarium solani. Topical, intrastromal, intravitreal, and systemic antifungal treatment (natamycin, voriconazole, amphotericin B) failed in both cases.

Delayed Boston Keratoprosthesis Exchange due to a Preceding Vitreoretinal Surgery with Intraoperative Choroidal Detachment.

Purpose: The aim is to describe the main characteristics of an anterior/posterior segment surgery and how to resolve intraoperative complications. Setting/Venue: The anterior and posterior segment surgical video was created at the Department of Ophthalmology, Virgin Macarena University Hospital, Seville, Spain.

Methods: We present the case of a male with Stevens-Johnson syndrome and severe limbal deficiency who needed a Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis, reaching a visual acuity of 0.

[Surgical intrastromal keratopigmentation using tattoo ink].

Case Report: A 31-year-old woman who had undergone surgery for a congenital cataract as a newborn developed bilateral malignant glaucoma, which was refractory to medical-surgical treatment. The patient currently has terminal glaucoma and severe band keratopathy. For aesthetic purposes, we performed intrastromal keratopigmentation surgery using ink for skin tattoos supplied in sterile single-dose vessels.
