Comparison of refractive outcomes in patients following scleral fixated intraocular lens implantation with Yamane and Z-suture techniques.

Purpose: To compare visual and refractive outcomes in aphakic patients who underwent scleral fixated intraocular lens (SF-IOL) implantation with Yamane and Z-suture techniques.

Design: Retrospective study.

Methods: Patients who underwent SF-IOL implantation with Yamane and Z-suture techniques due to aphakia between 2021 and 2023 were analyzed.

Changes in corneal high order aberrations and anterior chamber parameters following scleral fixated intraocular lens implantation.

Background: To evaluate the change in corneal high order aberrations (HOAs) and anterior chamber parameters following scleral fixation in aphakic patients using the Scheimpflug camera system.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients who were aphakic after phacoemulsification surgery and underwent scleral-fixed intraocular lens (SF-IOL) implantation with Z suture technique between 2010 and 2022. Preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior segment parameters and corneal aberrations were evaluated with a combined Scheimpflug-Placido disk corneal topography device (Sirius Costruzione Strumenti Oftalmici, Florence, Italy).

Early intraocular pressure changes following different keratoplasty techniques and association with cornea parameters and anterior chamber depth.

Background: Corneal transplantation surgery is associated with an increased risk of intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation. Increased IOP may cause irreversible vision loss and graft failure.Purpose: We aimed to evaluate early IOP changes following different keratoplasty techniques and to investigate the relationship between corneal thickness (CT), keratometry values, anterior chamber depth (ACD), and IOP changes.

Anterior Segment Surgery Performed During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Objectives: This study evaluated anterior segment surgeries performed during the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Prevention of virus transmission is a critical consideration for surgeons, and includes assessment of etiology, the referral region, demographic characteristics, and the surgery to be performed.

Methods: The data of 144 patients who underwent anterior segment surgery between March 19, 2020 and June 1, 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.

The Effect of Cone Localization on Higher Order Aberrations After Corneal Crosslinking for Keratoconus.

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) on topographic parameters, visual acuity, and corneal high-order aberrations according to the preoperative cone location in keratoconus.

Methods: This retrospective study assessed patients with keratoconus who underwent CXL between March 2016 and February 2019. Patients with a history of corneal surgery, corneal hydrops, corneal scar tissue, delayed epithelial healing, and a corneal thickness of <400 μm were excluded.
