"Knife cut technique". A new way for intra ocular lens (IOL) explantation.

Purpose: We report a novel technique which enables to cut any kind of foldable lens and extract it using capsulorhexis forceps and a 1.2 mm single-use slit angled knife.

Methods: The technique consists in using the capsulorhexis forceps to mantain and stabilize the IOL in the anterior chamber, and while one hand holds the IOL in that way, the second hand introduces a 1.

Topical anesthesia versus topical and subconjunctival anesthesia combined in diabetic retinopathy photocoagulation.

A retrospective, multicenter study on the management of macular holes without residual internal limiting membrane: the refractory macular hole (ReMaHo) study.

Purpose: To evaluate the surgical management, outcomes and prognostic factors of full thickness macular holes without residual internal limiting membrane (NO-ILM FTMHs).

Methods: We performed a multicenter, retrospective study of 116 NO-ILM FTMHs. Human amniotic membrane (hAM) plug, autologous ILM free flap transplantation (AILMT), and autologous retinal graft transplantation (ART) were performed in 58, 48, and 10 patients, respectively.
