Change in Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness following Cataract Surgery Imaged with Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography.

Background: Due to its invasive nature, cataract surgery can lead to inflammatory processes in the posterior segment, which can result in prolonged recovery times, reduced functional outcomes, and late-onset complications. The aim of the current study was to identify wherever phacoemulsification parameters play a role in choroidal thickness change following cataract surgery.

Methods: This prospective single-center study enrolled 31 patients (31 eyes) scheduled to undergo routine cataract surgery.

Injection time related to intraocular pressure using a CO2 driven preloaded injector: An experimental laboratory study.

Purpose: Experimental study to measure the intraocular lens (IOL) injection time and injection speed at different intraocular pressure (IOP) settings when using the AutonoMe® injector.

Methods: In this experimental study, following phacoemulsification in porcine cadaver eyes, a trocar was inserted at pars plana with a connected infusion and IOPs of 20, 50 and 80 mmHg were generated by altering the infusion height. Twelve CO2 gas-driven injectors were used to implant an IOL via a corneal incision of 2.

The impact of glistenings on the optical quality of a hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens.

Purpose: To study the effect of glistenings on the optical quality of a hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL).

Setting: David J. Apple Laboratory, Heidelberg, Germany.
