Aim: The aim of this study is to present a complication derived from high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) not described previously in the literature.
Background: HIFU has shown to be an effective technique for reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in the treatment of glaucoma, enabling the selective coagulation of the ciliary body. Published trials have not observed major intra- or postoperative complications, or serious adverse events derived from this technique.
Case Description: We present the case of a 65-year-old phakic patient with open-angle glaucoma and no previous filtration surgery. He was treated in both eyes with HIFU. After the intervention, the patient presented mild uveitis for 10 days, which remitted with the application of topical cycloplegic and corticosteroid treatment. After that, he reported a loss of near vision and examination showed pupil ovalization. It persisted 6 months later, with an accommodation loss of one diopter.
Conclusion: Phakic patients treated with HIFU might be at risk of pupil ovalization with accommodation loss.
Clinical Significance: The complications described in this article should be included in the informed consent for patients with glaucoma who are offered HIFU as a treatment option.

Short-term outcomes of implanting a retropupillary iris-claw intraocular lens in patients with lens and intraocular lens drops.

Lens drop and intraocular lens (IOL) drop can occur after cataract or phacoemulsification surgery, where the IOL is dislocated from the capsular bag into the vitreous cavity. The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term outcomes of implanting a retropupillary iris-claw in patients with IOL drop and lens drop after phacoemulsification. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Santosa Hospital, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, from January 2020 to December 2023.

Purpose: Explore the visual outcome and complications of iris fixation intraocular lenses (IFIOL) and sutureless scleral-fixated intraocular lenses (SSFIOL) in the surgical management of patients without exchanging dislocated posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PCIOLs) in the vitreous.
Methods: Retrospectively, 14 IFIOL and 15 SSFIOL reimplantations for dislocated PCIOLs were analyzed. Mean follow-up of reIFIOL group and reSSFIOL group: 11.

Retropupillary iris-claw intraocular lenses (ICIOLs) have been increasingly chosen by surgeons nowadays as a primary or secondary procedure of IOL implantation in eyes with insufficient capsular or zonular support. They have gained popularity due to their simple fast technique, favourable functional outcomes, and safety. The transition in the ICIOL fixation from prepupillary to a more biologically appropriate retropupillary position and change in the optic design from biconvex to convex-concave have provided better visual outcomes and improved safety.

Purpose Of Review: The manuscript presents a review of published studies regarding the outcomes, causes, and complications of phakic intraocular lens (pIOLs) bilensectomy.All pIOLs will be explanted at some point, therefore is important to know the visual and refractive outcomes following bilensectomy.
Recent Findings: There are few publications about the outcomes following pIOL bilensectomy; in all of them, cataract remains the main cause of bilensectomy.

Purpose: To assess the visual outcome and complications following retropupillary-fixated iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Methods: For this retrospective, non-comparative study, chart review of patients who underwent retropupillary iris-claw IOL implantation for the correction of aphakia from July 2014 to October 2018 and had a minimum postoperative follow-up of 2 months was carried out. Postoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), and complications were noted.
