To evaluate the difficulties, complications and outcome of cataract surgery in patients with complicated cataract after anterior uveitis. A retrospective study on 37 patients who suffered phacoemulsification surgery for post-uveitis complicated cataract in the period 2009-2014 was performed. 43 eyes underwent surgery. Posterior synechiae were present in 25 eyes. Posterior synechiolysis ensured large pupil in 15 eyes, and, in 14 eyes, the use of iris hooks or pupil expansion ring was necessary for surgery. Posterior capsule rupture was reported in 1 eye. Opacified and thick posterior capsule was noticed in 6 eyes. After surgery, transient rising of intraocular pressure was noticed in 4 eyes and prolonged postoperative inflammation was present in 3 eyes. Posterior capsule opacification was the most frequent issue (9 eyes) and cystoid macular oedema was reported in 2 eyes. Post-uveitis complicated cataract surgery presents specific difficulties and postoperative complications are present in these patients, like prolonged postoperative inflammation and cystoid macular oedema.

Department of Ophthalmology, The Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Suzhou Municipal Hospital, Suzhou, 215008, Jiangsu, China.
Purpose: Myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a common reason for visual impairment. This study investigated the clinical effects of repeated intravitreal injections of ranibizumab among patients with CNV secondary to pathologic myopia.
Methods: This study involved a single-center, non-randomized clinical prospective cohort research design including 39 patients with myopic CNV and a control group of 10 patients with cataract.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the effects of autologous serum plus artificial tears on corneal sensation and tear film stability in patients with mild to moderate xerophthalmia after cataract surgery.
Methods: A total of 150 patients with mild to moderate xerophthalmia after one-time cataract surgery from March 2022 to September 2023 were selected and randomly divided into a control group (n = 75) and a study group (n = 75). The control group was treated with artificial tears (polyvinyl alcohol eye drops), while the study group was given autologous serum plus artificial tears.
