Shallow groove technique in sextant pattern femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) is a useful technology for anterior segment surgery that creates cleavage planes via photodisruption of ocular tissue. Compared to conventional cataract surgery, FLACS has been thought to potentially improve surgical precision, accuracy, and reproducibility. Its introduction into cataract surgery has enabled the development of new techniques and has been purported to be potentially beneficial in improving surgical safety and providing quicker visual rehabilitation.

Rapid posterior capsular opacification in two patients treated for negative dysphotopsias.

Background: Negative dysphotopsias (ND) are visual aberrations associated with in-the-bag optic intraocular lens (IOL) placement, causing arc-shaped or linear shadows. Reverse optic capture (ROC) is employed to prevent ND, yet it poses the risk of posterior capsular opacification (PCO) which usually develops within 2-5 years post-surgery due to the lens epithelial cells (LECs) proliferation and migration onto the posterior capsule. This can lead to a cloudy or hazy appearance in the visual field.

Corneal Manifestations in Patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

Purpose: To report two cases of bilateral blepharokeratoconjunctivitis associated with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

Methods: Case report and literature review. The clinical courses of two patients with HS, including ocular presentation and medical management, are described.

Incidence of Strabismus Post-Plaque Brachytherapy in Patients With Uveal Melanoma.

Purpose: To determine the incidence and type of strabismus in patients with uveal melanoma treated with plaque brachytherapy.

Design: Multicenter, retrospective incidence estimation study.

Methods: A total of 438 eyes of 438 patients with uveal melanoma treated with plaque brachytherapy between October 2011 and May 2021.

It Is All About the Angle: A Clinical and Optical Coherence Tomography Comparison of Corneal Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia and Corneal Pannus.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare clinical characteristics and high-resolution optical coherence tomography (HR-OCT) findings between corneal ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) and corneal pannus.

Methods: Retrospective study of 9 individuals, 3 with lesions histologically confirmed to be OSSN, 3 with lesions histologically confirmed to be pannus, 1 with lesions histologically confirmed to be OSSN followed by pannus, and 2 with long-standing, nonchanging lesions clinically diagnosed as pannus. All individuals presented to the Miami Veterans Affairs Medical Center eye clinic or Bascom Palmer Eye Institute between 2015 and 2023.

Face and Content Validity of an Artificial Eye Model for Secondary Intraocular Lens Fixation via Yamane Technique.

Purpose: To assess the face and content validity of an artificial eye model for secondary intraocular lens (IOL) fixation via the Yamane technique.

Methods: Ophthalmologists and residents participated in a 90-minute simulation session on secondary IOL fixation via the Yamane technique. Hands-on practice of this technique was performed on an artificial eye, the Bioniko Okulo BR8.

Comparison of 3D heads-up display system with conventional surgical microscopy for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery on an artificial eye model.

Objective: To survey ophthalmic surgeons' opinions comparing a novel three-dimensional (3D) heads-up display system with a conventional surgical microscopy for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) on an artificial eye model.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-one ophthalmologists at the 2021 Canadian Ophthalmological Society Annual Meeting in Halifax, Nova Scotia, underwent a 90-minute skills-transfer course on MIGS. Using an artificial eye model (SimulEYE iTrack Model; InsEYE LLC, Westlake Village, Calif.
