Risk factors for a phacodonesis surprise during cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation.

Purpose: To evaluate the association of different pre-operative parameters with surprise phacodonesis during cataract surgery among patients with pseudoexfoliation (PXF).

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective charts review of all PXF patients who underwent cataract surgery between the years 2013 and 2018. Pre-operative parameters (demographics, biometry, intraocular pressure (IOP), endothelial cell count, pupil size, cataract density, glaucoma status, cup to disc ratio, number of glaucoma medications, prior intra-vitreous injections, risk for intraoperative floppy iris syndrome) were compared between patients with and without surprise phacodonesis.

Comparison of keratometry data using handheld and table-mounted instruments in healthy adults.

Purpose: To compare keratometry data between the handheld Retinomax K-plus 3 and the table-mounted IOLMaster 700.

Methods: Healthy adult volunteers were prospectively recruited to the study. All participants underwent 3 consecutive keratometry measurements using the Retinomax K-plus 3 and a single biometry assessment using the IOLMaster 700.

Agreement of Corneal Endothelial Cell Analysis Between Konan-Noncon Robo SP-6000 and Tomey EM-3000 Specular Microscopes in Healthy Subjects.

Purpose: To compare corneal endothelium parameters taken by two common noncontact specular microscopes in healthy subjects.

Methods: Healthy participants visiting the outpatient eye clinic at the Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel, were recruited prospectively. All participants underwent three consecutive corneal endothelial cell photographs with both the Konan-Noncon Robo SP-6000 and the Tomey EM-3000 specular microscopes.

Does Intraoperative Ketorolac Increase Bleeding in Oculoplastic Surgery?

Purpose: To report adverse hemorrhagic outcomes in patients who received intravenous (IV) ketorolac during oculofacial plastic surgical procedures.

Methods: The medical records of 111 consecutive patients who underwent lacrimal or orbital surgery, between the years 2016 and 2018, performed by a single surgeon under general anesthesia were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were excluded if they had history of a bleeding coagulopathy, anticoagulant use prior to surgery, or insufficient follow up.

Chorio-retinal toxoplasmosis: treatment outcomes, lesion evolution and long-term follow-up in a single tertiary center.

Background: Ocular toxoplasmosis is a common cause of ocular inflammation worldwide. The aim of this study is to characterize the clinical outcomes and lesion evolution of patients with ocular toxoplasmosis and to compare the primary and reactivation subgroups.

Methods: A retrospective population-based cohort study at one uveitis-specialized tertiary referral center.
