Purpose: Here we examine the association of anti-inflammatory therapy with anatomical and functional outcomes of epiretinal membrane surgery.
Methods: The study included consecutive patients having gone through epiretinal membrane surgery at Helsinki University Hospital, Finland, between 2017 and 2021. The association of perioperative intravitreal and postoperative topical anti-inflammatory therapies with surgical outcomes was assessed.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the association of diabetes with anatomical and functional outcomes of epiretinal membrane surgery.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent epiretinal membrane surgery between 2017-2021 at Helsinki University Hospital, Finland. Here we examined the association of diabetes, glycemic control, and requirement for insulin medication with surgical outcomes at 1-month.
Topic: To evaluate the complication rates of different IOL placement methods in adults with inadequate capsular bag support.
Clinical Relevance: The surgical correction of inadequate capsular bag support for the intraocular lens (IOL) harbors several challenges, and there is a wide-range of surgical procedures.
Methods: For the purpose of this meta-analysis, surgical methods were grouped based on the location of IOL placement: (i) AC placement, (ii) iris fixation, which included prepupillary or retropupillary placement of an iris-claw IOL, or iris suturing of an IOL (iii) scleral fixation, which included scleral sutured and sutureless techniques.
Myopia and systemic manifestation of tissue hyperlaxity: A population-based cross-sectional study.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored whether non-syndromic connective tissue hyperlaxity is linked to myopia in adolescents, using conditions like hernias and scoliosis as indicators of tissue hyperlaxity.
- Over 920,000 adolescents were analyzed, with 31.6% diagnosed with myopia; those with myopia exhibited higher rates of hernias (2.76%), pes planus (14.92%), and scoliosis (9.14%) compared to non-myopic peers.
- Findings suggest that myopic adolescents may have a greater tendency toward conditions associated with tissue laxity, indicating a possible systemic link between myopia and hyperlaxity.
Purpose: To evaluate and quantify variation of biometric parameters - axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), central corneal thickness (CCT) and white-to-white (WTW).
Methods: A population-based retrospective cohort study was performed on patients who underwent a biometry test prior to cataract surgery using the IOL Master 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) between the years 2017-2021. Differences in these parameters were evaluated between scans executed at different times of the day.
