We describe the analysis of accommodation using wavefront measurements in phakic and pseudophakic eyes. Accommodation measurements were performed in phakic and pseudophakic eyes using a dynamic stimulation aberrometry (DSA) device (Optana) as an attachment to the WASCA aberrometer (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG). Aberrations were measured for distance fixation (3.0 m) and near fixation (0.3 to 0.11 m) presenting different accommodative stimuli (3.0 to 9.0 diopters). The device was able to detect changes in aberrations using near and distance stimulation. Eyes with phakic iris-fixated intraocular lenses (IOLs) showed normal age-correlated accommodation. In pseudophakic eyes, accommodation varied depending on the IOL. With monofocal IOLs (eg, MA60AC, Alcon), there was no accommodation; with an accommodating IOL (eg, Synchrony, Visiogen), there was a low level of accommodation. The DSA device is capable of measuring accommodation using wavefront data. It will help to further analyze changes in accommodation-related wavefront aberrations.

Transient anterior chamber intraocular lens opacification by triamcinolone acetonide following intravitreal injection.
GMS Ophthalmol Cases

Department of Ophthalmology, Disha Eye Hospital, Siliguri, 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.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, University Hospitals Eye Institute, Cleveland, OH.
Purpose: Describe aims, methods, characteristics of donors, donor corneas and recipients, and potential impact of the Diabetes Endothelial Keratoplasty Study (DEKS).
Methods: The DEKS is a randomized, clinical trial to assess graft success and endothelial cell density (ECD) 1 year after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) using corneas from donors with versus without diabetes in a 1:2 minimization assignment. Diabetes severity in the donor is assessed by medical history, postmortem HbA1c, and donor skin advanced glycation end-products and oxidation markers.

Purpose: To describe effects of sustained-release steroid delivery devices on intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with glaucoma drainage devices (GDD).
Methods: Retrospective case series of eyes with steroid implants (dexamethasone or fluocinolone acetonide) and prior GDD (Ahmed, Baerveldt) without uveitis. Outcomes included IOP, IOP rise, central foveal thickness (CFT), and IOP medications.

Purpose: To identify the minimally required number of distances of visual acuity (VA) measurements for the reliable estimation of the visual acuity curve (VAC) and area of the curve (AoC) in presbyopia correction.
Patients And Methods: The study was divided into a validation and a clinical phase with a total recruitment of 120 participants (120 eyes) who underwent uncomplicated pseudophakic presbyopia surgery with bilateral premium intraocular lenses (IOL) implantation. This study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital of Alexandroupolis, Alexandroupolis, Greece.

Eye Clinic, Department of Medical and Surgical Specialties, Radiological Sciences and Public Health, University of Brescia, 25121, Brescia, Italy.
Background: To analyse the effect of suprachoroidal injection (SChI) of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) on macular thickness (CRT), ectopic inner foveal layer thickness (EIFL-T) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in pseudophakic patients undergoing vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane (iERM) compared to intravitreal injection of TA (IVTA).
Methods: Prospective matched comparison of patients undergoing vitrectomy for Govetto stage 3 and 4 iERM. 25 eyes receiving IVTA (G-1) were compared to 23 eyes receiving SChI-TA (G-2) during vitrectomy.
