Histopathological Characteristics of Zonular Fibers and Lens Capsule and Their Relationship to Clinical Features in Intraocular Lens Dislocation.

Purpose: To identify the histopathologic changes in the lens capsule of eyes with in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation.

Design: Pathological analysis and correlation with clinical findings.

Setting: Hayashi Eye Hospital (Fukuoka, Japan).

Age-related appearance of lamellar structures in lens capsule of cataractous eyes and its pathological significance.

Purpose: To determine morphological changes in the lens capsule with aging.

Setting: Hayashi Eye Hospital, Fukuoka, Japan.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Contractility of temporal inverted internal limiting membrane flap after vitrectomy for macular hole.

We investigated the postoperative visual outcomes and morphological changes of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap, in patients who underwent the temporal inverted ILM flap technique for macular hole (MH). Between August 2018 and February 2020, 22 eyes of 22 patients with idiopathic or myopic MH who underwent vitrectomy with ILM flap were included in this study and followed-up for more than 6 months. Postoperative MH status, comparison of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) before and 6 months after surgery, changes in the ILM flap area at 1 and 6 months postoperatively, and the factors related to changes in ILM flap size, were analyzed.

Relationship between the morphology of the foveal avascular zone and the degree of aniseikonia before and after vitrectomy in patients with unilateral epiretinal membrane.

Purpose: Persistent metamorphopsia, particularly aniseikonia, is a troublesome problem which may occur after epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery. To clarify if the preoperative foveal avascular zone (FAZ) morphology can be used as a predictor of postoperative residual aniseikonia, the morphological changes in the FAZ and the degree of aniseikonia between before and 12 months after vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane (ERM) were measured and analyzed.

Methods: Thirty patients, each with a unilateral idiopathic ERM, who underwent treatment between September 2016 and March 2017 were enrolled for this prospective case series study.
