Article Synopsis
  • The study assesses the safety and effectiveness of a new foldable capsular buckle (FCB) for treating rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in 18 patients over two years.
  • Results showed a 100% retinal reattachment rate and significant improvement in best corrected visual acuity after surgery, with no major long-term changes in eye refraction or astigmatism.
  • Some short-term complications included transiently high intraocular pressure in a few patients and mild diplopia, which resolved after the procedure.

Hollow manganese phosphonate microspheres of an inorganic-organic hybrid with hierarchically porous shells were prepared through a template-free hydrothermal method using ethylene diamine tetra(methylene phosphonic acid) as the coupling molecule. The hollow structures with hierarchical porosity were confirmed by SEM, TEM and N2 sorption. FT-IR, XPS and TG-DSC measurements revealed that the organophosphonate linkers were homogeneously incorporated into the hybrid framework.
