Evaluation of the Cataract Surgery 2018 Survey in Terms of Achieving Refractive Cataract Surgery Targets.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to show at what rate the technological equipment used in cataract surgery by Turkish ophthalmologists and their knowledge are reflected in practice and how up to date they are.

Materials And Methods: A questionnaire conducted using SurveyMonkey was used to evaluate the answers to 17 questions from 823 members of the Turkish Ophthalmological Association. Results were evaluated in subgroups according to the participants' age, occupational status, institutions, and whether they conducted relevant academic activities, and the data were compared as inadequate, standard, and contemporary approaches according to the determined criteria.

Evaluation of scleral-fixated intraocular lens position anomalies by anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

Background/aim: To measure the positions of scleral-fixated intraocular lenses (IOLs) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to evaluate the influence of the position of scleral-fixated IOL on the quality of vision.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-six eyes of 26 patients were included in the study. The average age was 57.

Intraocular lens optic capture in eyes with zonular weakness in cataract patients.

We desribe a technique for managing cataracts in eyes with zonular weakness. The technique is a combination of microhook iris retractors to fixate the capsulorhexis, a capsular tension ring, and intraocular lens optic capture. Results of this technique in 70 eyes after a 13-month mean follow-up are reported.
