Article Abstract
We report a 60-year-old man with incomplete capsular bag distension syndrome 2 years after neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy for capsule opacification, which developed from extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation performed 4 years before presentation to our clinic. The patient reported floaters of 15 days duration. Slitlamp examination showed shallowing of the inferior and medial anterior chamber. Dilated pupil examination showed a peripheral capsular bag inferiorly and medially behind the IOL. The bag was distended and filled with turbid fluid. The central and superior capsule was absent as a result of the previous Nd:YAG treatment. The IOL lie over the anterior capsule, and peripheral capsule leaves' edges were adhered. An Nd:YAG laser puncture of the incomplete capsular bag resolved the condition.

Purpose: To evaluate demographic profile, risk factors and outcomes following intraocular lens (IOL) exchange surgery for late decentration of IOLs in the dead bag syndrome DESIGN: Prospective, interventional case series PARTICIPANTS: 46 eyes (43 patients) with late decentration/dislocation of IOLs and spontaneous posterior capsule rupture in a clear and relatively intact capsular bag. None of the eyes had significant zonular weakness.
Methods: Study conducted at Raghudeep Eye Hospital, India.

Background: Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) following primary anterior-chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL) implantations is commonly seen. Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) injections have shown significant improvement in visual acuity and retinal thickness in refractory pseudophakic CME. Pseudohypopyon following IVTA injection is a known entity.

In cataract surgery, post-surgical stability of the intraocular lens plays a major role. This study aims to explore how the size and decentration of the capsulorhexis affect intraocular lens decentration and tilt by using numerical methods. Finite element models included zonules, ciliary body, capsular bag, and an IOL with two open-loop haptics were built.

Intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation is not an uncommon complication and often requires surgical intervention, depending on the status of capsular bag support. Conventionally, posterior dislocation of a foldable IOL or the IOL-bag complex warrants their removal as foldable IOLs are not ideal for sulcus placement. The technique presented here describes using quadrilateral sutures to refix looped haptic IOLs at the ciliary sulcus with or without a bag complex.

Aim: To present a technique of transcapsular scleral fixation of the standard capsular tension ring (CTR) through equatorial capsulotomy and in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in subluxated lenses.
Methods: This retrospective consecutive case series included patients with subluxated lenses by more than 180 degrees who underwent lens extraction, transcapsular scleral fixation of the standard CTR through equatorial capsulotomy, in-the-bag IOL implantation and with at least 6mo follow-up. Preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), complications, and postoperative IOL tilt and decentration were recorded.
