Purpose: To investigate different capsulotomy centration methods for femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. The overlap between intraocular lens (IOL) optic and lens capsule was measured with different centration methods and IOL types.
Methods: This was a prospective randomized clinical trial. Patients with cataract scheduled for femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery were assigned to one of four treatment groups: optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based scanned capsule centration (SCC) and three-piece IOL (SCC with three-piece IOL); scanned capsule centration and plate-haptic IOL (SCC with plate-haptic IOL); pupil centration (PC) and three-piece IOL (PC with three-piece IOL); or PC and plate-haptic IOL (PC with plate-haptic IOL). At the end of surgery, the overlap between the IOL optic and capsular bag was measured.
Results: The results of 160 patients were evaluated (n = 40 in each group). There was no difference in age (P = .27), sex (P = .18), the number of treated left and right eyes (P = .64), or cataract grade (P = .06). With the new SCC method (capsulotomy diameter: 5 mm), a complete overlap was achieved in all cases in both SCC groups. The overlap was also complete in all cases with PC and plate-haptic IOLs. In the PC with three-piece IOL group, the overlap was incomplete in 3 eyes.
Conclusions: The SCC method helps to achieve a 360° overlap in all eyes independent of the IOL type. A complete 360° overlap was achieved in all cases up to a calculated capsulotomy diameter of 5.1 mm with this new method. [J Refract Surg. 2017;33(2):74-78.].

Visual and refractive outcomes of trocar-assisted intrascleral three-piece intraocular lens fixation.
Eur J Ophthalmol
December 2024
St. Anna University Hospital, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy.
Purpose: To report the visual and refractive outcomes of trocar-assisted sutureless intrascleral three-piece intraocular lens (IOL) fixation, and to compare the accuracy of different IOL power formulas in this setting.
Methods: Twenty eyes of 20 patients who underwent trocar-assisted sutureless three-piece IOL scleral fixation were included. Two trocar-cannula systems were placed at 3 and 9 o'clock position creating 2.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the Yamane technique (flanged intrascleral haptic fixation with double-needle technique /FIHFT) for three-piece intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in Egyptian patients diagnosed with Marfan syndrome (MFS) presented with subluxated lenses (ectopia lentis, EL).
Methods: This was a retrospective evaluation of thirty-three patients who were diagnosed with MFS and had subluxated lenses in a total of forty eyes. Seven of these patients had bilateral subluxation.

Purpose: To compare long-term intraocular lens (IOL) decentration and tilt following femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and conventional surgery using swept-source anterior segment ocular coherence tomography (SS-ASOCT).
Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, all patients underwent FLACS or conventional cataract surgery. Those with a minimum of 12-months follow-up since surgery were included.
Single-piece Foldable Intraocular Lenses versus Three-piece Intraocular Lenses in the Sulcus following Posterior Capsular Rupture in a Philippine Tertiary Hospital.

Objective: Successful intraocular lens (IOL) placement in cataract surgery is synonymous with the IOL being placed in the capsular bag. When the capsular bag is violated, the ciliary sulcus becomes an option to approximate an in- the-bag position. Studies report that single-piece foldable acrylic (SPA) IOLs are a poor choice for the sulcus.

Methods: This is a single-center cohort study. Three patients with stable dry AMD previously implanted with SING-IMT failed to adapt to the device requesting its explantation.
