The epiretinal membrane and pseudoexfoliation syndrome represent two different anatomo-clinical items whose etiopathogenesis is incompletely solved. We have noticed the capsular pseudoexfoliation at a significant percentage of patients that have been diagnosed with epiretinal membrane; further studies may demonstrate if this is a random coincidence or their emergence is caused by a common pathogenic step.

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.

Purpose: To report visual and refractive outcomes and intraoperative and postoperative complications after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with retropupillary implantation of an iris clip intraocular lens (IOL).
Methods: This is a retrospective case series of patients who underwent secondary retropupillary intraocular lens insertion combined with pars plana vitrectomy to treat aphakia secondary to a dislocated nucleus lens (group A); or IOL dislocation (group B). Patient demographics, preoperative visual and refractive outcomes, intraoperative factors, postoperative visual and refractive outcomes, and complications within the follow-up period ranging from 6 months up to 3 years postoperative, were recorded.

Topic: To identify and review published articles addressing risk and protective factors of late in-the-bag (ITB) intraocular lens (IOL) dislocations.
Clinical Relevance: Prevention of this complication is of great importance considering the great number of cataract cases and its vision-threatening capacity.
Methods: A structured search on PubMed (MEDLINE) using both Medical Subject Headings and key words was conducted.

Purpose: To compare the visual outcomes, rate of cystoid macular edema (CME), and additional associated complications in eyes that exhibited zonular dialysis (ZD) during phacoemulsification to a reference group of uneventful phacoemulsification eyes.
Methods: A retrospective multicenter comparative database study. We pooled data from 8 United Kingdom sites between 2003 and 2015.
Purpose: To assess the risk for pseudophakic cystoid macular oedema (PCME) and posterior capsular opacification (PCO) associated with combined cataract surgery and trabeculectomy compared to cataract surgery alone.
Methods: Data analysis of subjects who underwent routine cataract surgery without and with concomitant trabeculectomy at the Department of Ophthalmology, Bristol Eye Hospital, the UK, between January 2008 and December 2017. Odds ratios (ORs) for PCME between the types of surgeries were calculated using univariate and multivariate regression analysis.
