Introduction: During the global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, people sought ways to disinfect their domestic and public surroundings. One of the sanitation options included the usage of ultraviolet-C (UVC) lamps since UVC radiation has been shown to effectively inactivate the SARS-Coronavirus. UVC radiation may also be effective against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

- The study aimed to compare two techniques for scleral fixation of intraocular lenses (IOL): the double-flanged polypropylene method and the Hoffman scleral pocket method.
- Involving 140 patients, the results showed that both techniques produced similar visual acuity outcomes, but the flange technique resulted in less myopic spherical equivalents and had a higher incidence of complications, such as elevated intraocular pressure and corneal edema.
- The flange technique may be a viable option for scleral IOL fixation due to its shorter learning curve and comparable surgical time, despite having more complications associated with it.
Purpose: To evaluate the association of different pre-operative parameters with surprise phacodonesis during cataract surgery among patients with pseudoexfoliation (PXF).
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.
Purpose: It is controversial whether donor-recipient sex mismatch is a risk factor associated with corneal graft failure. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sex mismatch on corneal graft failure in high-risk and non-high-risk patients.
Design: A retrospective study.

Background: Early postoperative graft detachment remains one of the most common complications of DSAEK.
Objectives: To describe a modification of a simple method to facilitate a firm AC, without a leak, during DSAEK.
Method: Ten consecutive DSAEK surgeries were reviewed.
