Purpose: To evaluate the results of cataract extraction with primary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and uveitis-related cataract.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Helsinki University Hospital, Finland.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Methods: All consecutive patients younger than 20 years with JIA-uveitis-related cataract undergoing cataract extraction with primary IOL implantation in 1 or both eyes at the Department of Ophthalmology, Helsinki University Hospital, Finland, from February 2000 to April 2012 were included. Twenty eligible patients with 26 operated eyes were identified; 14 were girls and 6 were boys. All patients had a follow-up of 5 years and 13 patients (16 eyes [65%]) reached 10 years of follow-up.
Results: Twenty-six eyes of 20 patients were studied. Preoperative median corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was 0.05 in decimal notation. Median CDVA was 1.0 at 5 years and 0.9 at 10 years of follow-up. Two eyes did not reach CDVA 0.5 with the operation, and in 2 eyes, CDVA decreased below 0.5 over the period of 3 to 5 years after the operation. Active uveitis during 3 and 12 months preoperatively was a risk indicator for postoperative CDVA <0.5 at 5 years (P = .005 and P = .007, respectively).
Conclusions: Cataract extraction with primary IOL implantation provides long-standing good visual acuity for young patients with well-controlled JIA-related uveitis.

Effect of size of capsulorhexis on the outcome of cataract surgery: a protocol for systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis.
BMJ Open

Department of Ophthalmology, The Second Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, China
Introduction: In the era of functional intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, it is crucial to investigate the influence of different capsulorhexis sizes (including the diameter of the capsulorhexis, area of the anterior capsule opening, anterior capsule coverage, centration and circularity of the capsulorhexis) on the postoperative outcomes (eg, visual acuity, capsule shrinkage, IOL stability and intraocular pressure) in patients undergoing cataract surgery. This is particularly important in patients with high myopia or diabetes mellitus. The proposed protocol aims to enhance the transparency of our research and offer references for future studies.

Background: Extended monovision is a novel mix-and-match approach that has been recently introduced. It involves implanting an aspherical monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) for distance vision in the dominant eye, and a bifocal extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOL in the nondominant eye. The target refraction for the nondominant eye is - 1.

Purpose: To identify the minimally required number of distances of visual acuity (VA) measurements for the reliable estimation of the visual acuity curve (VAC) and area of the curve (AoC) in presbyopia correction.
Patients And Methods: The study was divided into a validation and a clinical phase with a total recruitment of 120 participants (120 eyes) who underwent uncomplicated pseudophakic presbyopia surgery with bilateral premium intraocular lenses (IOL) implantation. This study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital of Alexandroupolis, Alexandroupolis, Greece.
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose remove dense water droplets during fluid-air exchange on the posterior surface of intraocular lenses with posterior capsule loss.

Department of Ophthalmology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.
Purpose: The research investigates the efficacy of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) treatment in facilitating the development of compact water droplets on the rear surface of synthetic lenses with capsule imperfections during the process of fluid-air exchange.
Method: This study examined four patients with intraocular lens (IOL) implants and posterior capsule defects who experienced the formation of dense water droplets on the posterior surface following fluid-air exchange. When this occurrence obstructs fundus visualization during surgery, it is recommended to suspend the surgical procedure.
Purpose: To observe and explore the correlation between visual outcomes and intraocular lens (IOL) stability after tri-focal IOL implantation in eyes with high myopia.
Methods: Patients with highly myopic cataract (axial length > 26 mm) were enrolled in this prospective study. Thirty-one eyes (31 patients) received implantation of a trifocal IOL (AcrySof IQ PanOptix TFNT00).
