Long term surgical results and safety profile of the novel CM T Flex scleral fixated intraocular lens.

Purpose: To report the long term visual outcomes and complications with use of the novel CM-T Flex scleral fixated intraocular lens (CMT-SFIOL).

Materials And Methods: 116 eyes that underwent CMT-SFIOL were reviewed and 57 eyes with CMT-SFIOL that completed a 2-year follow-up were included. Main outcome measures noted were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and complications.

The enigma of a subluxated globe.

Spontaneous globe subluxation (SGS) is an uncommon condition wherein the equator of the globe protrudes anteriorly beyond the eyelid aperture causing severe lagophthalmos, proptosis and exposure keratopathy. SGS can lead to an emotional disturbance leading to anxiety and fear, thereby affecting one's quality of life. The patients might often be able to reduce the globe on their own, but permanent measures must be taken to prevent recurrence and vision-threatening sequelae of SGS.

Clinical results after binocular implantation of a unique nondiffractive enhanced monofocal intraocular lens designed for enhanced monovision to increase the depth of focus.

Purpose: To provide the reports of a pilot study to assess the visual acuity (VA) and contrast sensitivity with RayOne enhanced monovision (EMV), a unique nondiffractive enhanced monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) to increase the range of focus.

Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted by analyzing 25 patients (50 eyes) who had bilateral implantation of EMV IOL after cataract surgery. Data collected included biometry, spherical equivalent (SE), and VA for near, intermediate, and distance.

Understanding the clinical and molecular basis of thyroid orbitopathy: a review of recent evidence.

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is an autoimmune orbital inflammatory disease which ranges from mild to severe. Tissue remodeling, fibrosis and fat proliferation cause changes in the orbital tissues which can affect esthetics and visual function. In its severe form, it is sight threatening, debilitating, and disfiguring and may lead to social stigma, the embarrassment about which has an impact on the quality of life of those affected and the family members.

A novel two-surgeon technique of simultaneous bilateral cataract surgery with complete delinking.

Though technological advancements have transcended beyond expectation, phacoemulsification remains a challenge in uncooperative patients, where the procedure may be contemplated under general anesthesia, with simultaneous bilateral cataract surgery (SBCS) being the surgery of choice. In this manuscript, we have reported a novel two-surgeon technique of SBCS on a 50-year-old mentally subnormal patient. Under general anesthesia, two surgeons performed phacoemulsification simultaneously, using two separate microscopes, irrigation lines, phaco machines, instruments, and assistants.

Reversal of vision after bleomycin injection in orbital lymphangioma.

Lymphangiomas are benign hemartomatous tumors that can occur in all parts of the body, but most frequently in the neck (75%), as well as in the axilla and inguinal areas. Surgical removal is very difficult, as it is very fragile and tumor dissection is very difficult. Ultrasound-guided bleomycin injection directly into the cyst collapses the cyst and shrinks the tumor.

Changes in vergence and accommodation parameters after smartphone use in healthy adults.

Purpose: To assess pre and post vergence and accommodation parameters after monitored reading on a smartphone device.

Methods: This prospective comparative study was performed in a tertiary eye care center for a duration of 6 months (December 2017 - May 2018). A total of 47 healthy emmetropic subjects of age group ranging from 18-30 years were recruited for the study.

An innovative alternative for spherophakia.

The aim of this case report is to report a new aphakic intraocular lens (IOL) that can be used for spherophakia. This is a single case report wherein the authors elaborate the technique of inserting the new IOL design in patients with spherophakia. This new IOL design is very stable and is very promising in our follow-up of 6 months.

A Novel Sutureless Scleral-Fixated Lens That Eliminates Extra Ocular Haptic Manipulation: The CM-T Flex Lens.

The authors present their experience with an innovative model of scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL): the CM-T Flex intraocular lens (IOL). By its unique design, the CM-T Flex IOL simplifies the process of SFIOL fixation by limiting the process to simply exteriorizing and releasing the haptic. This retrospective cohort study included nine eyes with surgical aphakia.

Innovative intraocular lens design to manage surgical aphakia in an eye with a filtering bleb.

An innovative intraocular lens (IOL), the CM-T Flex IOL, was used to correct surgical aphakia without disturbing a functioning filtering bleb. A 66-year-old man presented with aphakia in the left eye. Cataract extraction and trabeculectomy was performed in the left eye 2 years previously elsewhere.

Choroidal Detachment Following Multi-spot Double Frequency Nd-YAG Retinal Photocoagulation - A Case Report.

Panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) remains the gold standard treatment for severe non-proliferative and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), as it reduces the risk of severe visual loss by more than 50%. In the conventional single-spot laser, the procedure involves the application of moderate-intensity burns of 200-500 microns, placed one spot-size apart to achieve a total of 1200-2000 applications in 2 or 3 sessions. The more advanced retina lasers like the Pattern Scan Laser (PASCAL) and the VITRA multi-spot laser are 532 nm frequency-doubled (Nd: YAG) solid-state lasers.

Performance of a New-Generation Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular Lens-A Prospective Comparative Study.

Purpose: The aim was to study the visual performance of a new refractive extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL).

Design: Prospective, comparative study.

Methods: Consenting patients with age-related cataract willing for bilateral cataract surgery within 2 weeks were implanted with the Supraphob EDOF IOL and those willing for 1 eye surgery were implanted with a monofocal IOL.

Comparative analysis of retropupillary iris claw versus scleral-fixated intraocular lens in the management of post-cataract aphakia.

Purpose: To compare the visual outcomes and complications between the eyes receiving retropupillary iris claw intraocular lens (IOL) and scleral-fixated IOL (SFIOL) for post-cataract aphakia.

Methods: Medical records of consecutive patients who had iris claw IOL and SFIOL surgery from January 2010 to March 2015, with > 1 year of follow up were retrospectively analyzed. The surgical technique was based on individual surgeon preference.

Dynamic tracking of Purkinje images for the comparison of pseudophakodonesis between in-the-bag and secondary fixated intraocular lenses.

Purpose: To compare the pseudophakodonesis of in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) and a secondary fixated IOL by tracking the Purkinje image IV.

Setting: Dr. Agarwal's Eye Hospital and Eye Research Centre, Chennai, India.

Identification of a novel frameshift mutation in gene and the clinical management in an Asian Indian aniridia family.

Purpose: This study aimed to characterize an Asian Indian aniridia family for both the phenotype and genotype of the disease for a better clinical management.

Methods: The phenotype and genotype of the affected and unaffected individuals in the aniridia family were evaluated. The subjects underwent a standard ophthalmic evaluation followed by molecular screening of PAX6 gene in the peripheral blood for mutation detection.
