Aim: To analyze the visual outcomes and the posterior capsule opacification (PCO) with the new Incise MJ14 intraocular lens (IOL) implanted through a 1.4 mm clear corneal incision (CCI) in patients who underwent bimanual microincision cataract surgery (B-MICS).
Methods: Eighty eyes which underwent cataract surgery using B-MICS technique performed by the same experienced surgeon were included in the study: 40 eyes were implanted with an Incise MJ14 IOL through a 1.
Purpose: To determine the efficacy of bimanual microincision cataract surgery (B-MICS) performed by surgeons in training, evaluating clinical results, posterior capsule opacification (PCO) incidence, and clear corneal incision (CCI) architecture in a long-term follow-up and comparing results with those obtained by experienced surgeons.
Patients And Methods: Eighty eyes of 62 patients operated on by three surgeons in training who used B-MICS technique for the first time were included in the study (Group A). Eighty eyes of 59 patients who underwent B-MICS by three experienced surgeons were included as a control group (Group B).
Purpose: To demonstrate that in case of absence of capsular support intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation is both effective and stable over years.
Methods: A total of 13 eyes from 13 patients who underwent an IOL scleral fixation according to Lewis suturing technique between January 2001 and December 2008 were studied. Patients underwent a complete ophthalmologic evaluation.
Purpose: To evaluate visual outcomes and complications of bimanual microincision cataract surgery performed by surgeons in training.
Setting: Institute of Ophthalmology, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy.
Design: Prospective case series.
Background: Limbal stem cell (LSC) deficiency leads to corneal opacity due to a conjunctivalization of the corneal surface. LSC transplantation, which can be followed by corneal keratoplasty, is an effective procedure to restore corneal transparency; however, a common cause of failure of this procedure is neovascularization (NV).
Methods: A 59-year-old man with a 21-year history of a corneal chemical burn caused by phosphoric acid in his left eye was examined.
Purpose: To evaluate bimanual microincision cataract surgery (MICS) clear corneal incision (CCI) architectural features over the long-term using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
Design: Case series.
Setting: Institute of Ophthalmology, University of Modena, Modena, Italy.
