A Period of Macular Hyperemia and Subclinical Edema Caused by Phacoemulsification Surgery in Noninfectious Uveitis.

Purpose: To identify the changes in macular microvasculature in uveitic patients following phacoemulsification.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted by enrolling uveitic patients who underwent phacoemulsification at the Eye Hospital. Macular vessel densities (VD) of superficial and deep capillary plexus (SCP and DCP) and retinal thickness (RT) were quantified by optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA).

Substance P induces sympathetic immune response in the contralateral eye after the first eye cataract surgery in type 2 diabetic patients.

Background: Substance P (SP) is a nociceptive tachykinin which regulates the immune inflammatory reactions including monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) production. Sequential second-eye cataract surgery patients often suffer more pain than the first one partly because of the MCP-1 increase in aqueous humor (AH). This study aims to illustrate whether SP is involved in sympathetic inflammatory responses in the contralateral eye in patients with or without type 2 diabetes.

Suturing technique for scleral fixation of toric intraocular lens in the traumatic aphakic eye with corneal astigmatism.

Purpose:: To describe the clinical outcomes of traumatic aphakic eyes with corneal astigmatism after using a novel technique for toric intraocular lens suture fixation.

Methods:: In total, 12 eyes of 12 patients who underwent a new scleral suture fixation technique of one-piece toric intraocular lens (SN6AT series, Alcon Inc., TX, USA) were included in our retrospective study.
