Comparison of Pacman cutting technique and trisection cutting technique for hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens removal.

The objective of this retrospective cohort study is to compare the Pacman cutting technique with the trisection cutting technique for hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens extraction. A total of 29 eyes of 29 patients requiring IOL removal were selected and enrolled in this study. The patients in group 1 (13 cases) underwent the conventional trisection cut technique from May 2022 to Dec.

Four-Point Flange Intrascleral Fixation With Double Suture Through the Dislocated Plate-Haptic Trifocal Intraocular Lens.

Purpose: To describe a technique for the replacement of dislocation of plate-haptic trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) through double-suture 4-point flange intrascleral fixation.

Design: Retrospective, interventional, noncomparative, case series.

Methods: A total of 7 eyes of 7 patients with a dislocated plate-haptic trifocal IOL were enrolled for 4-point flange intrascleral fixation with double 7-0 polypropylene suture.

Case report: Double-armed flanged polypropylene suture for repairing wide iridodialysis.

Purpose: To describe a new technique for repairing wide iridodialysis (>180°) with a double-armed flanged polypropylene suture.

Setting: Private practice, Wuhan, China.

Design: Case report.

Clinical presentation of acute primary angle closure during the COVID-19 epidemic lockdown.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the clinical presentation of acute primary angle closure (APAC) during the COVID-19 epidemic lockdown in Wuhan.

Methods: Consecutive patients seeking APAC treatment at the Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital during the 76 days (January 23-April 8, 2020) when the lockdown policy was implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic were compared to those during the same period the following year (January 23-April 8, 2021), when the lockdown policy was not implemented. The cohorts were compared to assess demographic variables and clinical presentations.

Hyperlipidemia, Blood Lipid Level, and the Risk of Glaucoma: A Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: Previous studies reported that hyperlipidemia and blood lipid levels were associated with glaucoma, ocular hypertension (OHT), and intraocular pressure (IOP). However, studies aimed at investigating this association have yielded conflicting results. Therefore, to shed light on these inconclusive findings, we performed multiple distinct meta-analyses to clarify the association of hyperlipidemia and blood lipid levels with glaucoma, OHT, and IOP.

Identification of a novel mutation in FBN1 in a Chinese family with inherited ectopia lentis by targeted NGS.

Aims: To diagnose a Chinese family with inherited ectopia lentis in a genetic method and analyze the genotype-phenotype correlation.

Methods: The phenotype of each family member was identified by detailed clinical examination. We used targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) to identify mutations in FBN1 in an efficient and accurate way.

[Preliminary evaluation of the femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in 300 cases].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcome of the femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) in our first 300 cases.

Methods: In this retrospective study, the study group comprised 300 cases (300 eyes) in which FLACS was done. The control group comprised 300 cases (300 eyes) in which phacoemulsification was performed.
