Background: Dislocated IOL exchange conventionally involves manipulation within the anterior chamber which risks secondary injury to anterior chamber structures. We describe and evaluate a 4-haptic IOL rescue technique that avoids entering the anterior chamber and thus minimizes post operative inflammation, astigmatism and recovery time relative to conventional IOL explantation and replacement techniques.

Methods: Retrospective, non-randomized, interventional study of all patients undergoing 4-haptic IOL rescue performed by two independent vitreoretinal surgeons at a single UK centre over two years.

An alternative surgical technique for removal of multiple uveal cysts in a dog: A case report.

Vet Ophthalmol

Veterinary Ophthalmology Specialty Practice, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

Uveal cysts have been reported to cause vision changes in dogs. The objective of this article is to report removing multiple uveal cysts from both eyes of a canine patient using a previously unreported methodology. A bimanual irrigation and aspiration procedure is reported here as an alternative method for managing multiple anterior segment iris cysts in the dog.

We describe and assess the efficiency of a novel technique of placing implantable collamer lens (ICL) footplates in the sulcus in poorly dilated pupils utilizing perioptic holes and two instruments simultaneously (Sinskey hook and ICL manipulator). Twelve eyes of 10 patients underwent ICL implantation through this technique. The technique employs a bimanual approach engaging perioptic holes in the eyes with intraoperative miosis.

Some anterior chambers do not readily shallow because of insufficient posterior pressure and/or very deep anterior chamber anatomy, which can make unscrolling descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) tissue more challenging with an unmodified tap technique. We present a hands-free method for augmenting posterior pressure by temporarily tucking cellulose sponges under the blades of the eyelid speculum. The sponges transfer some of the eyelid speculum's weight onto the bulbar surface posterior to the iris, thereby indenting the sclera and causing the iris diaphragm to bulge further forward.
