Late Presentation of Pseudophakic Macula Edema from Oral Kinase Inhibitors: A Case Series and Literature Review.

Introduction: Two cases of late presentation (>5 years) of bilateral pseudophakic macula edema related to oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors are described. These cases are the first of their type in the published literature. A review of ocular inflammatory complications of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the current literature is explored.

Delayed Bacterial Endotheliitis and Endophthalmitis 11 Years after Cataract Surgery.

Infective endophthalmitis is an uncommon complication following intraocular surgery. Chronic endophthalmitis may present some time after intraocular surgery, making the diagnosis challenging. is a well-recognised causative agent of these chronic infections.

Pigmented Nevus of the Caruncle and Plica Semilunaris: A Case Report.

Conjunctival nevi are benign, heterogenous tumors that uncommonly arise from the lacrimal caruncle and plica semilunaris. We present a case of a patient diagnosed and managed for an unusual, pigmented nevus of the left caruncle involving the plica. An 84-year-old woman presented with a rapidly growing, pigmented lesion in her left nasal canthus.

Visual and Refractive Efficacy of Panoptix Toric Intraocular Lens in a Clinical Setting.

Purpose: Trifocal Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) were developed to provide patients with effective near, intermediate and distance vision, thus minimizing spectacle dependency. Residual astigmatism has previously been shown to impact unaided visual acuity across all distances; therefore, to optimise the expected outcomes, consideration of preoperative corneal astigmatism is essential. The purpose of this study was to provide a real-world, multi-site review of visual and refractive outcomes in eyes undergoing implantation with the Panoptix Trifocal toric IOL platform.

The Latest Evidence with Regards to Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery and Its Use Post 2020.

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) was introduced with the hope of making cataract surgery safer and making the refractive result more predictable. It is only in the last four years that level 1 prospective randomised controlled trials (RCT) using current technology have been published. These, along with a meta-analysis of recent studies have shown that there seems to be little long-term visual benefit when using FLACS with monofocal lenses.

Posterior capsular complication rates with femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery: a consecutive comparative cohort and literature review.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine whether femtosecond-assisted laser cataract surgery (FLACS) reduces the posterior capsular complication (PCC) rate compared to manual cataract surgery when performed by an experienced surgeon.

Patients And Methods: We reviewed 2,021 consecutive FLACS procedures between 1 June 2012 and 30 August 2017. All cases of posterior capsular rupture (PCR) with or without vitreous prolapse or zonular dialysis (ZD) that prevented an in-the-bag placement of the intraocular lens were included.

Reviewing the visual benefits of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery: Can we improve our outcomes?

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) was introduced in 2009 and has increasingly been incorporated into surgical practice. The automation of three key aspects of cataract surgery was expected to deliver a significant improvement in both refractive and safety outcomes. The published literature has not yet shown consistent refractive improvement above conventional techniques.

Visual and refractive outcomes following implantation of a new trifocal intraocular lens.

Background: Independence from all optical aids, and freedom from unwanted symptoms, following cataract and lens surgery remains the ultimate goal of both patient and surgeon. The development of trifocal IOL technology provides an ever-increasing range of options. The purpose of our study is to understand the predictability, safety and efficacy of a new trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) following cataract or refractive lens exchange (RLE) surgery.

Evaluation of Toric Intraocular Lenses in Patients With Low Degrees of Astigmatism.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the efficacy of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients with low degrees of corneal astigmatism.

Design: Retrospective case series was undertaken.

Methods: Patients with low amounts of corneal astigmatism who were treated with either a toric monofocal lens (SN6AT2 Toric, n = 76) or a toric multifocal lens (SND1T2 +3.

Use of an anterior chamber maintainer in the surgical management of traumatic hyphaemas.

Surgical intervention in traumatic hyphaemas becomes necessary when high intraocular pressure (IOP) is intractable and there is persistent corneal staining. Anterior chamber (AC) washout and elimination of blood clots have been described previously using one paracentesis. We describe the value of creating two paracenteses.

The use of optical coherence tomography to determine the severity of radiation retinopathy.

Radiation retinopathy can present many years after the application of either brachytherapy or teletherapy to the head or neck. If severe, it drastically reduces visual acuity due to macular ischemia or edema. This is the first article, to the author's knowledge, to document the use of optical coherence tomography in the assessment of radiation-induced maculopathy.
