Scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) is a widely used technique for IOL implantation in patients where capsular support is insufficient. Most surgeons have shifted away from sutured to sutureless SFIOL techniques where haptics of a multifocal IOL are inserted in scleral tunnels/flaps. Large-scale publications have shown wide variation in the refractive status of eyes post-SFIOL even in the best of the hands.

- Surfactants can improve the enzymatic breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass, leading to more sugar yield with less enzyme needed, but how they interact with lignin and cellulase remains unclear.
- A combination of non-ionic and cationic surfactants notably reduced the non-productive attachment of lignin to cellulase—by up to 55%—while promoting conditions that favor cellulase activity.
- The effectiveness of these surfactants in diminishing lignin's impact on cellulases is influenced by lignin's properties, suggesting that future research can inform better surfactant or additive designs for more efficient biomass processing.
Mixed surfactants improve the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic substrates by enhancing cellulase stability against heat, pH, shear, and air-liquid interface stress. Under conditions of multiple factorial stresses (50 °C, pH 4.8, 180 rpm, and 15.
