Purpose: To review the changes in the surgical techniques used for cataract removal in the setting of trauma and their postoperative outcome.
Recent Findings: Primary cataract removal with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the commonly followed procedure for penetrating injuries with cataract. IOL implantation has evolved through various techniques namely 'in the bag', 'in the sulcus', epilenticular implantation, anterior chamber IOL, scleral fixated IOL and recently glued IOL.
Summary: Certain lacerating injuries of the anterior segment are particularly amenable to cataract extraction and IOL implantation at the time of primary laceration repair. This approach obviates additional operative and anesthetic risks, while affording timelier visual rehabilitation. Secondary lens removal may also be indicated in cases of severe corneal injury and marked edema, which may interfere with intraocular visualization.

Johns Hopkins University Wilmer Eye Institute, Baltimore, Maryland. Electronic address:
Background Recommendations regarding long-term postoperative activity are intended to prevent adverse events, but no common policy or best practice exists among ophthalmologists for pediatric patients. We surveyed ophthalmologists on their postoperative guidelines after the one-month postoperative period following childhood cataract and glaucoma surgeries. Methods A 28-question anonymous Qualtrics survey was distributed via listservs and social media.

Centro Oftalmológico Charles, Buenos Aiers C1116, Argentina.
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after bilateral implantation of a new hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens called Clareon (Alcon) using the mini-monovision technique.
Methods: A single-center, prospective, nonrandomized study was conducted in Tandil (Buenos Aires, Argentina), including patients scheduled for cataract surgery. To achieve mini-monovision, the spherical equivalent was calculated between -0.
The VaMa (Vatavuk and Marić) Artificial Intraocular Lens Capsule: A Novel Device and Method for Reversible Secondary Intraocular Lens Implantation in Patients with Aphakia Without Efficient Capsular Support.
Biomedicines
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, UHC Sestre Milosrdnice, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia.
We describe a novel experimental device, the VaMa (Vatavuk and Marić) artificial intraocular lens (IOL) capsule, and a method that enables all IOL types to be implanted in the bag. We present the application of the device and the procedure in patients with aphakia and native capsule damage and without efficient capsular support. The VaMa device and the method facilitate IOL exchange due to refractive errors and, in the case of their invention, the implementation of superior IOLs in the future.
