Purpose: To compare the surgical outcomes of glued intraocular lens (GIOL) and sutured scleral fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) implantation.
Methods: A retrospective, interventional case series of 60 patients (68 eyes) who underwent GIOL (28 eyes: 11 primary; 17 secondary) and SFIOL (40 eyes: 24 primary; 16 secondary) in a tertiary eye care institute was done. The main outcome measures were complications, time taken for surgery, postoperative refractive outcomes, and final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
Results: The mean final BCVA was 0.42 (20/40) (+/- SD 0.29) in the GIOL group and 0.57 (20/50) (+/- SD 0.48) in the SFIOL group (p=0.08). The time taken for primary GIOL (mean+/- SD: 66+/-19 minutes) was significantly lower than primary SFIOL (means+/-SD: 94+/-34 minutes) (p=0.006). The complications were comparable between the GIOL (25%) and SFIOL (15%) groups (p=0.30). The most common complication noted was transient vitreous hemorrhage (GIOL 17%, SFIOL 5%). The only sight-threatening complication seen was retinal detachment, with one eye in each group. The mean follow-up was 20 (GIOL) and 20.4 weeks (SFIOL).
Conclusion: Both glued intraocular lens and sutured scleral fixated intraocular lens are safe and effective procedures in cases of insufficient capsular support. In view of the shorter surgical time with similar outcomes, primary GIOL can be considered as a preferred surgical option over primary SFIOL.

Visual Performance Correlation with Corneal Aberrometric Profile and Pupil Size After Implantation of a Trifocal Hydrophobic IOL.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical outcomes obtained after cataract surgery involving the implantation of a trifocal hydrophobic intraocular lens (IOL) and to determine if pupil size and the corneal aberrometric profile correlate to visual acuity at different distances.
Methods: 49 patients (98 eyes) underwent bilateral cataract surgery with the placement of FineVision HP IOLs for presbyopia and were assessed at 1- and 3- to 6-months post-surgery. Postoperatively, refraction, monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) and the binocular defocus curve were measured.
This retrospective observational multicentre cohort study compared the rate of postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CME) between two intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation (SFIOL) techniques: a flanged IOL fixation technique (Yamane technique) and a suture IOL transscleral fixation technique (conventional technique). The study included 207 eyes with postoperative CME that had undergone SFIOL and were observed for > 12 weeks between January 2019 and January 2021. The primary endpoint was a comparison of the rate of postoperative CME at 3 months between groups.

Background: Large language models have shown remarkable efficacy in various medical research and clinical applications. However, their skills in medical image recognition and subsequent report generation or question answering (QA) remain limited.
Objective: We aim to finetune a multimodal, transformer-based model for generating medical reports from slit lamp images and develop a QA system using Llama2.
Research progress in Berger's space: An interesting retrolenticular space.

Department of Cataract, Shanxi Eye Hospital Affiliated to Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, Shanxi, PR China.
Purpose Of The Review: In recent years, Berger's space (BS), the potential space between the posterior lens capsule and the anterior hyaloid membrane, has received little attention from the ophthalmic clinical community. This is primarily due to the limited documentation, with only a few isolated case reports detailing foreign bodies in this area.
Recent Findings: Recent advances in medical imaging technology have enabled the visualization of the BS under various circumstances.
Long-term outcomes of scleral fixated black diaphragm intraocular lens in eyes with combined aphakia and aniridia.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the long-term outcomes of scleral fixation of aniridic black diaphragm intraocular lenses (BDIOL) in 38 eyes affected by aniridia and aphakia due to trauma or congenital conditions.
- After an average follow-up of 28 months, there was a significant improvement in visual acuity, and patients reported reduced glare and photophobia, though some experienced complications like elevated intraocular pressure and corneal decompensation.
- The findings suggest that scleral fixation of BDIOL is an effective solution for patients lacking capsular support, providing good vision quality with a low rate of complications, regardless of prior surgical history.
