Purpose: To study changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) during the early postoperative period in eyes having implantation of a posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) (Visian Implantable Collamer Lens V4c).
Setting: Clínica Baviera, Instituto Oftalmológico Europeo, Madrid, Spain.
Design: Case series.
Methods: This retrospective review included the first consecutive eyes having implantation of a spherical or toric myopic pIOL with a central hole at Clínica Baviera from December 2011 to June 2012 by the same experienced surgeon. The IOP was evaluated preoperatively and 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month postoperatively.
Results: The study comprised 100 eyes. The mean IOP changed from 14.6 mm Hg ± 3.4 (SD) (range 8 to 26 mm Hg) preoperatively to 14.5 ± 4.6 mm Hg (range 6 to 30 mm Hg) 1 day postoperatively, 14.2 ± 4.2 mm Hg (range 6 to 29 mm Hg) at 1 week, and 12.3 ± 3.4 mm Hg (range 9 to 24 mm Hg) at 1 month. No statistically significant changes were detected over time postoperatively (P>.2). No perioperative complications associated with the implantation of the pIOL were recorded. No pIOLs were explanted, no toric pIOL rotation was detected, and no pupillary block or acute angle closure was observed.
Conclusion: The short-term clinical data for the new pIOL model with the central hole (KS-Aquaport) suggest that it is a safe and effective means for controlling postoperative IOP.

Composite materials play a crucial role in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding. These materials differ from traditional metals due to their high specific strength and low weight, which reduce energy consumption in these industries. The damage behavior of such materials, especially when subjected to stress discontinuities such as central holes, differs significantly from materials without holes.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating and testing Cobalt-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles as a photocatalyst for degrading the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIPF) under visible LED light.
- It was found that 10% Cobalt-doped ZnO nanoparticles were the most effective, achieving over 99% degradation of CIPF in just 90 minutes, and maintained their efficiency across three cycles of use.
- The research also optimized the conditions for maximum degradation efficiency using statistical methods and simulated data using Artificial Neural Networks, achieving a strong correlation for the model’s accuracy.

There is a lack of research on the clinical characteristics of vitreomacular traction (VMT) in the Central Asian population, which evaluates the visual recovery and macular hole closure outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with membrane peel in this population. This long-term prospective cohort study, conducted at the Kazakh Eye Research Institute from June 2015 to December 2021 with a follow-up period until December 2022, included 1574 patients (1784 eyes) with VMT syndrome. Among the eyes, 724 (40.

Currently, the development of polymeric hole-transporting materials (HTMs) lags behind that of small-molecule HTMs in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). A critical challenge is that conventional polymeric HTMs are incapable of forming ultra-thin and conformal coatings like self-assembly monolayers (SAMs), especially for substrates with rough surface morphology. Herein, we address this challenge by designing anchorable polymeric HTMs (CP1 to CP5).
