Ab externo device for the treatment of glaucoma: direct flow from the anterior chamber to the ocular surface.

A new microinvasive glaucoma surgery device, the Beacon Aqueous Microshunt (BAM), drains aqueous humor directly from the anterior chamber to the surface of the eye vs draining to enclosed spaces within the eye, where outflow resistance, including the episcleral venous pressure, might limit drainage effectiveness. The BAM has a 0.030 mm × 0.

Visual performance comparison of 2 extended depth-of-focus intraocular lenses.

Purpose: To compare the visual acuity and satisfaction outcomes of 2 different concepts of extended depth-of-focus intraocular lenses (EDOF IOLs).

Setting: University Eye Hospital Bochum, Germany.

Design: Prospective randomized comparative clinical trial.

Long-term follow-up and clinical evaluation of the light-adjustable intraocular lens implanted after cataract removal: 7-year results.

Purpose: To determine the long-term safety and effectiveness of a light-adjustable intraocular lens (LAL) over a period that is longer than reported in the literature at the time of the study.

Setting: University Eye Hospital, Bochum, Germany.

Design: Noninterventional observation.

Implantation of a Corneal Inlay in Pseudophakic Eyes: A Prospective Comparative Clinical Trial.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of binocular cataract surgery with and without pinhole corneal inlay implantation.

Methods: In the inlay-cataract group, a small aperture corneal inlay was implanted in addition to cataract surgery in the non-dominant eye and routine cataract surgery was performed in the dominant eye. In the control group, conventional cataract surgery was performed in both eyes in separate consecutive surgeries 2 weeks apart.

Safety of femtosecond laser-assisted primary posterior capsulotomy immediately after cataract surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of a new femtosecond laser-assisted method for posterior capsule opacification (PCO) prevention.

Setting: University Eye Hospital Bochum, Bochum, Germany.

Design: Prospective randomized intraindividual case series.

Capsule-Fixated Intraocular Lens Implantation in Small Pupil Cases.

Purpose: To describe a new technique for implantation of capsule-fixated intraocular lenses (IOLs) (FEMTIS; Oculentis, Berlin, Germany) in patients with small pupils.

Methods: In 4 eyes with small pupils, an anterior capsule-fixated IOL was implanted into the capsular bag after femtosecond laser treatment. The two large and two small flaps of the IOL were elevated to the front of the iris and the anterior capsule.
