Purpose: To test the hypothesis that severely damaged eyes are more likely to experience postoperative complications after an ArtificialIris (AI) implantation than other iris defects.

Methods: Patients after iris reconstruction with an AI were included in this consecutive case series of the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Mainz, Germany. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), objective refraction (KR 8900 Topcon, Tokyo, Japan) and Scheimpflug imaging of the anterior segment with Pentacam (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany)and postoperative complications were evaluated.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate ocular and systemic risk factors for posterior chamber intraocular lens dislocation, as well as forms of manifestation.

Methods: A retrospective case-control study were all patients presented in the period 2012-2016 having intraocular lens dislocation and being treated with implantation of an iris-fixated intraocular lens was conducted at the University Hospital Mainz. As controls, pseudophakic patients presenting for other reasons were included.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate a micrometer-accurate analysis of the retropupillary Verisyse® intraocular lens (IOL) (Ophtec, Groningen NL; Santa Ana, USA) enclavation in the iris tissue.

Methods: A retrospective consecutive case series was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Mainz. Patients with an optical coherence tomography (Spectralis®, Heidelberg Engineering®; Heidelberg, Germany) examination after retropupillary Verisyse® IOL implantation were included retrospectively.

Purpose: The Acrysof Cachet® angle-supported phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) is designed to correct high refractive errors in human eyes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of AcrySof Cachet® angle-supported pIOL implantation with particular regard to efficacy and safety of the implant over a 60-month follow-up period.

Purpose: Posterior lamellar keratoplasty is increasingly applied in patients with endothelial decompensation after penetrating keratoplasty (PK). The aim of this study was to compare the results of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) after PK.

Methods: In this retrospective study, clinical data of 30 patients who received DMEK (n = 19) or DSAEK (n = 11) for endothelial decompensation after PK were evaluated.
