Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of three different surgical techniques for foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation in vitrectomized eyes without capsular support.
Methods: A total of 60 patients with aphakic and vitrectomized eyes without capsular support were enrolled. All patients underwent three-piece foldable PCIOL implantation into the posterior chamber through a small corneal incision. Transscleral fixation (TSF), iris fixation (IF), and intrascleral tunnel fixation (ISF) surgical techniques were performed.
Results: Postoperative PCIOL subluxation or dislocation occurred in one case in the TSF group and two cases in the ISF group. Intraoperative PCIOL dislocation occurred in two patients in the IF group. The incidence of temporary postoperative complications, such as mild intraocular hemorrhage and cystoid macular edema, was higher in the ISF group. No statistically significant difference in PCIOL-related astigmatism was observed between groups. Visual acuity improved in all groups.
Conclusions: Postoperative outcomes were comparable between TSF, IF, and ISF for PCIOL in vitrectomized eyes without capsular support.

DMEK Surgical Strategy in Aphakic and Vitrectomized Eyes.

Article Synopsis
- After 15 years of DMEK experience, the technique has shown high success rates but still struggles with certain eye conditions like aphakia and eyes that have had vitrectomy.
- A new method involves injecting an air bubble under the Descemet membrane graft to help unroll it more efficiently during surgery.
- This approach has been found to decrease surgical time while ensuring successful attachment of the graft, offering a promising option for complex DMEK cases.

Purpose: The emulsification of silicone oil (SO) remains poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated the physical properties of unused pharmaceutical SO samples under various conditions. Moreover, clinical correlations with the patients' SO samples were assessed.

All medical files and PCI biometrical reports from a single surgeon were reviewed from 2017 to 2019. Patients who had phacoemulsification with the ASPHINA 509MP® IOL were selected and stratified into 3 groups: phacoemulsification alone (group 1), phacoemulsification and vitrectomy with gas tamponade (group2), and phacoemulsification and vitrectomy without tamponade (group 3).

Department of Ophthalmology, Vita-Salute University, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of cystoid macular edema (CME) following vitrectomy alone and after cataract surgery in patients with either rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) or idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM).
- A total of 498 eyes were examined, revealing that post-vitrectomy CME occurred significantly more in ERM cases (12.8%) than in RRD cases (1%).
- The findings suggest that eyes previously treated for ERM face a greater risk of developing CME after cataract surgery, indicating that the changes caused by ERM might increase susceptibility to this condition.
Efficacy of Sutureless Scleral Fixation of One-Piece T-Shaped Haptic Intraocular Lens in Maintaining Anterior Chamber Stability During Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty in Vitrectomized Eyes: Leak Test and Iris Diaphragm Reconstruction.

: This study aimed to describe the outcomes of a staged procedure combining Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and sutureless scleral fixation (SSF) of a one-piece intraocular lens (IOL) in a case series. Co-performing endothelial keratoplasty (EK) and SSF is associated with intraoperative and postoperative complications such as graft deployment difficulties, air migration, graft detachment, and IOL opacification or tilt, all of which are evaluated in this study. This is a retrospective observational case series.
