Custom-Made Artificial Iris and Toric-Intraocular Lens Intrascleral Flange Fixation: A Case Report.

Different techniques for artificial iris implantation with or without an intraocular lens, depending on lens status, are described in the literature. We describe a surgical technique for a custom-made artificial iris and toric-intraocular lens intrascleral flange fixation. We modified the "Backpack" artificial iris implantation surgical technique to facilitate an accurate alignment of the toric-intraocular lens in a patient with aphakia, aniridia, and high asymmetric astigmatism secondary to blunt trauma.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective charts review of all PXF patients who underwent cataract surgery between the years 2013 and 2018. Pre-operative parameters (demographics, biometry, intraocular pressure (IOP), endothelial cell count, pupil size, cataract density, glaucoma status, cup to disc ratio, number of glaucoma medications, prior intra-vitreous injections, risk for intraoperative floppy iris syndrome) were compared between patients with and without surprise phacodonesis.

Influence of the CleaRing intraocular open capsule device on refractive predictability in cataract surgery.

Background: The marked improvement in cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) quality has led to a decline in posterior capsular opacification (PCO) incidence; however, PCO remains a common complication of cataract surgery. The CleaRing intraocular capsule open device (IOCD) decreases PCO incidence. We aimed to investigate the influence of the CleaRing IOCD on refractive predictability in cataract surgery.

Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the results of toric IOL implantation in patients with FECD.

Methods: A retrospective case-control study of 28 eyes of FECD patients and 84 eyes of healthy control patients who received toric IOLs during routine cataract surgery was performed.

[IS THERE ANY ADVANTAGE IN CATARACT EXTRACTION ASSISTED WITH LASER?].

Cataract surgery is one of the most performed surgeries worldwide. Cataract extraction and intra-ocular lens artificial implantation have made a revolution in the past years mainly due to advanced surgical techniques, usage of protecting viscoelastic agents that protect the cornea and anterior chamber, improved design and material of the implanted folded artificial lens, special lenses including toric and multifocal lenses and development of advanced formulas and calculators for predicated IOL power calculation. Recently, femtosecond laser was introduced to cataract surgery, replacing several manual steps of the surgery.
