Article Synopsis
- A new ophthalmic formulation of tacrolimus using cyclodextrins (TCD) is being studied as a safer alternative to the traditional tacrolimus formulation with ethanol (TE), which can cause eye irritation.
- A study compared the effectiveness and safety of TCD and TE in treating patients over three months, using various ocular assessments and subjective questionnaires.
- Results showed that TCD improved patient-reported symptoms like pain and burning, while maintaining stable ocular health metrics, suggesting it's a promising option for treating tough inflammatory eye conditions.
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the incidence of pseudophakic macular edema (PME) and the role of contributing risk factors following prepupillary or retropupillary implantation of iris-claw lenses.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent iris-claw intraocular lens implantation over a 16-year period at the University Hospital of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. The presence of risk factors for PME was recorded, and surgical outcomes included visual acuity, macular OCT scans, and description of complications.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined endogenous endophthalmitis (EE) in Spain and Mexico, analyzing 705 cases and identifying 78 EE cases, highlighting differences in microbial infections, antibiotic resistance, and patient outcomes between the two countries.
- In Spain, 60.25% of cases had bacterial infections (primarily Staphylococcus and Streptococcus), while in Mexico, 39.74% had fungal infections (mostly Candida), with diabetes mellitus being a significant risk factor, especially prevalent in Mexico.
- Treatment included various antibiotics and procedures, revealing overall better success rates for bacterial infections (around 50%) than fungal infections (around 30%); the study stresses the need for region-specific healthcare strategies and continuous research on EE management
Purpose: To describe the demographic data, evaluate the long-term refractive and anatomical outcomes, and report the incidence of complications of anterior iris (prepupillary) and posterior iris (retropupillary) fixation of the Artisan aphakia iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL).
Setting: Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Severe allergic ocular diseases as atopic keratoconjunctivitis can induce corneal damage due to inflammatory substances released from giant papillae. Tacrolimus eye drops are one of the current therapeutic alternatives for its treatment. This work is aimed at developing and characterizing a 0.
