Real-world refractive outcomes of toric intraocular lens implantation in a United Kingdom National Health Service setting.

Background: With increasing availability of toric intraocular lenses (IOL) for cataract surgery, real-world refractive outcome data is needed to aid the counselling of patients regarding lens choice. We aim to assess the outcomes of toric intraocular lens use in the non-specialist environment of a typical United Kingdom NHS cataract service.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study conducted at the Oxford Eye Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, UK.

Vitreoretinal complications of osteoodontokeratoprosthesis surgery.

Purpose: To describe the vitreoretinal complications in a cohort of patients with osteoodontokeratoprosthesis (OOKP) and discuss surgical management.

Methods: Review of notes of 35 OOKP cases performed at the Sussex Eye Hospital (Brighton, United Kingdom) between January 1999 and December 2005 was performed.

Results: The overall incidence of vitreoretinal complications was 22.

Pupillary capture after combined management of cataract and vitreoretinal pathology.

Purpose: To report the incidence, pathogenesis, and management of pupillary capture after combined phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and vitreoretinal surgery.

Setting: Oxford Eye Hospital, The Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, United Kingdom.

Methods: This retrospective case review comprised 12 patients who developed pupillary capture after combined phacoemulsification, IOL implantation, and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).

Floaterectomy: combined phacoemulsification and deep anterior vitrectomy.

We describe a 1-stage surgical technique to treat vitreous floaters. Phacoemulsification is combined with a deep anterior vitrectomy through a posterior curvilinear capsulorhexis followed by implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens. The technique was used in 10 eyes of 6 patients.

Correction of pseudophakic anisometropia with the Staar Collamer implantable contact lens.

Purpose: To assess the role of the Staar Surgical implantable contact lens (ICL) for the correction of pseudophakic anisometropia.

Setting: Oxford Eye Hospital, Oxford, and Rosen Eye Center, Alexandra Hospital, Manchester, United Kingdom.

Methods: Six patients with pseudophakic anisometropia ranging from 2.
