Background: The penetration of robotic technology in various surgical fields may increase ocular complications.
Methods: A systematic search was performed in both PubMed and Scopus databases.
Results: Eight articles were retrieved by the literature search. In total, 142 patients were included in the study. The most frequent complication was increased intra-ocular pressure. Corneal abrasion, ischaemic optic neuropathy and postoperative visual loss were also reported. The duration of operations was 1.7-9.9 h; mean intra-ocular pressure was 3.6-13.3 mmHg; estimated blood loss was 29.7-1200 ml; and administered intravenous fluids were 1.600-4.300 ml.
Conclusions: Meticulous preoperative ophthalmological assessment, restriction of intravenous fluids, 'rest stops', eyelid taping and ocular dressings are the major protective measures suggested by the literature. Collaboration between the surgical team and the anaesthetist is also essential. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A 40-year-old gravida 7 para 4+2 lady who was 14 weeks pregnant presented with a three-day history of sudden-onset flashes of light associated with a superonasal visual field defect on her right eye. She had two prior miscarriages that occurred in the second and third trimesters. Previous serological tests for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) were normal.

École d'optométrie, Université de Montréal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Purpose: The present study aimed to determine the potential impact of scleral lenses on intraocular pressure (IOP) by analysing the Bruch's membrane opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) while the lenses are worn, in a population with keratoconus.
Methods: Participants were required to have keratoconus and be successfully fitted with scleral lenses for at least 3 months. A new pair of optimised scleral lenses was provided before the study.
Flow-Adjusted Trabeculectomy.
J Clin Med
November 2024
Glaucoma Unit, Sydney Eye Hospital, GPO Box 1614, Sydney, NSW 2001, Australia.
As one of the most efficacious glaucoma surgical techniques, trabeculectomy is considered by many surgeons to be the "gold standard" intra-ocular pressure (IOP)-reducing intervention. The purpose of this study is to present our intra-operative flow-adjusted surgical method, which aims to provide safety and efficacy more simply than previous methods. Retrospectively, we evaluated outcomes for trabeculectomy or phacotrabeculectomy in surgery-naïve eyes over three years for patients with glaucoma not associated with other ocular co-morbidities.

Article Synopsis
- The cornea is essential for protecting the eye, and central corneal thickness (CCT) measures its thickness from the front to the back.
- CCT is crucial for accurate intraocular pressure measurements, assessing corneal health, and planning refractive surgeries.
- Understanding the various factors that affect CCT can improve diagnostic and treatment approaches in eye care.
Optic disc pit maculopathy: Covering or filling technique with human amniotic membrane patch to treat the optic disc pit maculopathy?
Eur J Ophthalmol

Eye Clinic, Department of Experimental and Clinical Medicine, Polytechnic University of Marche, Ancona, Italy.
Purpose: To describe two patients affected by optic disk pit-maculopathy ODP-M surgically treated with pars-plana vitrectomy (PPV) and the apposition of a human Amniotic Membrane (hAM) patch.
Methods: Patients underwent a PPV with the apposition of a hAM patch to cover the ODP. In case 1, a 2 surgery was necessary to push the hAM patch inside the pit, whereas in case 2 the patch was pulled inside the pit following the pressure gradient when infusion was turned on.
