Efficacy and safety evaluation of Monoblue Dual View and Monoblue ILM View vital stains during vitrectomy surgery.

Purpose: To compare the staining properties of Monoblue inner limiting membrane (ILM) View and Monoblue DUAL View (study products) vital stains during vitrectomy surgery to those of ILM Blue or Membrane Blue Dual (control products).

Methods: In this study, 105 patients were included in the Ophthalmic Clinic of the University Hospitals Leuven from September 2021 to April 2022. For prospective data collection in this study, patients were randomized between a control group (ILM Blue or Membrane Blue Dual, manufactured and commercialized by DORC®) and a study group (Monoblue ILM View or Monoblue DUAL View, manufactured and commercialized by Arcadophta®-BVI®).

Efficacy and safety of the implantation of a single-piece angulated foldable IOL in the sulcus.

Purpose: To study the visual results and tolerance of a Zeiss CT Lucia 601P intraocular lens (IOL) implanted in the sulcus after complicated cataract surgery or during IOL exchange for clouded IOL.

Methods: In total, 64 patients who underwent sulcus implantation were recalled to the hospital to undergo subjective and objective refraction, best corrected visual acuity measurement, tonometry, optical coherence tomography, laser flare photometry, biometry, and wavefront aberrometry.

Results: In spite of a large variation in preoperative refraction, the target refraction was obtained within 1.

Patient satisfaction after EDOF intraocular lens implantation in vitrectomized eyes.

Purpose: To report patient satisfaction after unilateral/bilateral extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in a young population after vitrectomy.

Methods: Patients that underwent phaco-vitrectomy or phaco following vitrectomy with an AT LARA EDOF IOL, aged between 18 and 75 years, were asked to fill out a questionnaire to assess overall visual quality, near vision quality, and visual disturbances. The questionnaire was based on the Catquest, NAVQ, and APPLES questionnaires.

Investigation of the effectiveness of a new portable 'cryopen' probe for cryotherapy (CryoTreq®).

Background: To test the effectiveness of a new, innovative, single-use handheld 'cryopen' (CryoTreq®), which has been developed and marketed by Vitreq.

Methods: Animal testing of cryopexy using the Cryotreq ® in two pig eyes was performed.

Results: The biological effects of cryopexy were observed.

The role of the vitreous body in effective IOL positioning.

Purpose: To compare the effective lens position (ELP) after phaco surgery alone and after combined phacovitrectomy surgery.

Methods: Twenty patients who were scheduled for elective surgery in both eyes were included. In one eye, phacovitrectomy surgery was performed (without any tamponade), and in the fellow eye, only phaco surgery was performed using the same IOL type.
