Article Synopsis
- Unexpected foreign bodies can occur during cataract surgery due to issues with surgical instruments, leading to potential complications like inflammation and infections.
- In this study, foreign materials identified included remnants from improperly cleaned phaco sleeves and resin granules from an instrument washing machine, highlighting production and maintenance failures.
- Immediate removal of these foreign bodies is crucial, and proper reporting of such incidents is necessary for improving safety standards in surgical practices.
Background: In cataract surgery, intraocular lenses (IOLs) with enhanced depth of focus are an option to correct presbyopia. The purpose of this quality assurance analysis was to evaluate visual acuity and patient satisfaction after implantation of the Hoya Vivinex Impress IOL.
Methods: The Hoya Vivinex Impress IOL was implanted in patients undergoing cataract surgery at the Pallas Klinik, Olten, Switzerland.
Purpose: To objectively quantify glare of intraocular lenses (IOLs) using a diffractive principle to extend the visual range and to identify models with increased susceptibility to inducing glare.
Setting: David J Apple Laboratory, Heidelberg, Germany.
Design: Laboratory investigation.
Introduction: Damage to the nozzle tips of intraocular lens (IOL) injectors has been associated with various adverse events and even IOL surface abnormalities after IOL implantation. In this study, nozzle tip damage of three different injector models with v-notched nozzle tips was systematically evaluated using our self-developed system - the Heidelberg Score for IOL injector damage.
Methods: Nozzle tip damage was categorized into 6 grades: no damage (grade 0), slight scratches (1), deep scratches (2), extensions (3), cracks (4), and bursts (5).
