Aim: To report the capsulotomy and lens fragmentation outcomes of white cataracts managed with the femtosecond laser (FL).
Methods: Outcomes of a prospective, observational consecutive case series of white cataracts (June 2012-November 2016) that underwent FL-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) (Victus, Bausch+Lomb, Munich, Germany) at the Singapore National Eye Centre were audited. patient demographics, type of white cataract, levelness of docking, anterior capsule position following laser, completeness of capsulotomy and fragmentation, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 1 month, intraoperative complications. capsulotomy integrity, fragmentation capability and BCVA at 1 month.
Results: 58 eyes of 54 patients underwent FLACS. White cataract types included dry white (24 eyes), intumescent (28 eyes) and Morgagnian (6 eyes). Docking was level in 22 eyes (38.6%). Following FL, the anterior capsule level dropped in 20 eyes (34.5%). Incomplete capsulotomies occurred in 10 eyes (17.2%). Lens fragmentation attempted in 38 eyes was effective or partially effective in 31 eyes (81.6%). No anterior or posterior capsule tears occurred. LogMAR BCVA at 1 month was 0.073 (SD 0.09). Risk factors for incomplete capsulotomy were Morgagnian cataract and lens thickness (multiple logistic regression, p<0.01 and p=0.03, respectively).
Conclusion: The main complication of FLACS in white cataracts was incomplete capsulotomy (17.2%), significantly associated with Morgagnian cataracts and increased lens thickness. Lens fragmentation was effected in four-fifths of white cataracts but should be avoided in Morgagnian cataracts due to possible overlap of the lens fragmentation plan and the anterior capsule.

Characteristics and factors associated with diameter deviation of rhexis reference circle generated by an image-guided system in cataract surgery: a cross-sectional study.

More attention should be paid to the deviations between the actual diameter of the rhexis reference circle which projected by the Image-guided systems and its intended size, and assess the influence of ocular biometric parameters on the deviation. In this study, the Callisto eye image-guided system was employed to generate a digital rhexis reference circle (rhexis overlay) set at an intended diameter of 6 mm and a screenshot of the video was taken at the end of the cataract surgery, then to compare the deviation between the observed rhexis overlay diameter (ROD) and the optic diameter (6 mm). The factors influencing diameter deviation were identified with univariate and multivariate linear regression.

Purpose: To study the utility of integrated intraoperative OCT (i2OCT) in pediatric patients with cataracts in the real world.
Methods: It was a retrospective case series. We included patients aged 0-12 years with unilateral or bilateral cataracts who underwent cataract surgery or membranectomy for visual axis opacification between July 2022 and December 2023, where intraoperative OCT was used.

Purpose: To assess the variability and correlation of ocular biometric parameters in eyes with cataracts and examine their association with age and gender.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on biometric data from 7,458 eyes without retinal pathologies, using an optical biometer equipped with low-coherence reflectometry technology. Pearson's correlation coefficients (r) were used to evaluate the relationships between age, gender, and various ocular parameters, including axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal refractive power (Km), and white-to-white (WTW) measurement.
Comparison of Optical Biometry Data Measured with Lenstar and Anterion Devices.

December 2024
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the results of preoperative biometric data measured with optical biometers of different generations in patients with cataract. Lenstar optical biometry is based on the principle of optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR), and Anterion on swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).
Material And Methods: A total of 200 eyes (103 patients) were included in a prospective study at the Faculty Hospital in Trenčín the period from June 2023 to January 2024.

Aim: To establish an animal model of form deprivation amblyopia based on a simulated cataract intraocular lens (IOLs).
Methods: Poly(dimethyl siloxane)-SiO thin films (PSF) with different degrees of opacity as IOL materials were prepared. The light transmission of the PSF-IOL was measured, and its biosafety was determined by cell counting kit (CCK)-8 assay using the HLEC-B3 cell line and ARPE-19 cell line.
