A case of refractive lens exchange with the implantation of a supplementary intraocular pinhole (IOPH) to treat a challenging case of keratoconus is presented. Four months after the initial procedure, an intraocular lens (IOL) exchange (under the IOPH) was performed to a toric implant to correct the residual manifest astigmatism. This significantly improved both distance and near acuities and demonstrates how a toric IOL and astigmatism correction in combination with a pinhole device could be used to treat selected cases of keratoconus.

The prevailing narrative in scientific literature has long overemphasized the role of ocular axes in intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, perpetuating misconceptions that have led to unnecessary exclusions of patients. Historical assumptions, coupled with inconsistent terminology and statistical inaccuracies, have muddled clinical decision-making. This review delves into these misconceptions, offering a critical reassessment of their relevance.

Purpose: To measure visual acuity at three different defocus planes in pseudophakic subjects with varying levels of spherical aberration induced by an adaptive optics visual simulator. The study aimed to simulate Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Setting: Private hospital (IMO, Barcelona, Spain).

Purpose: To observe the changes in the axial length (AL) in patients of acute retinal necrosis (ARN) undergoing vitrectomy and investigate the correlated factors.
Methods: Retrospective case series. Patients diagnosed as ARN undergoing vitrectomy with silicone oil (SO) tamponade, and with attached retina more than one year after silicone oil removal (SOR) were included.

Importance: After cataract surgery, postoperative residual astigmatism can influence a patient's visual quality and satisfaction. Finding ways to minimize this astigmatism is important.
Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) and toric intraocular lens (TIOL) implantation for astigmatism correction in patients undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.
Anterior chamber morphological and refractive outcomes following phacoemulsification in pseudoexfoliative eyes: A case-control study.
Eur J Ophthalmol
January 2025
Ophthalmology Department, ULS São José, Lisboa, Portugal.
Purpose: To compare changes in angle morphology, anterior chamber depth (ACD) and refractive prediction error (PE) after phacoemulsification between pseudoexfoliative (PEX) and non-PEX eyes.
Methods: Prospective case-control study of eyes submitted to cataract surgery. Biometric data and angle parameters - Anterior Chamber Angle (ACA), Angle Opening Distance (AOD), Scleral Spur Angles (SSA) and Trabecular Iris Space Area (TISA) - were measured preoperatively and 1-month postoperatively through swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography.
