The temperature of the vitreous has been reported to vary during cataract and vitreous surgery. We measured intraocular temperature at four intraocular sites; the anterior chamber (AC), just behind the crystalline lens, mid-vitreous, and just anterior to the optic disc (OD) at the beginning of vitrectomy with a thermoprobe in 48 eyes. The temperatures were compared in three groups; eyes that underwent vitrectomy for the first time (Group V, = 30), eyes that had previous vitrectomy and the vitreous cavity had been filled with balanced salt solution (BSS; Group A, = 12), and eyes that had previous vitrectomy and the vitreous cavity was filled with silicone oil (Group S, = 6). There was a gradient in the temperature in all groups, i.e., it was lowest in the AC, and it increased at points closer to the retina. The intraocular temperature was significantly correlated with the type of fluid in the vitreous cavity. The mean intraocular temperatures were not significantly different in Groups V and A, but they were significantly higher in Group S. Clinicians should be aware of the differences in the temperature at the different intraocular sites because the temperatures may affect the physiology of the retina and the recovery process.

Biocompatibility of light responsive materials prepared for accommodative intraocular lenses manufacturing.
Int J Ophthalmol
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100029, China.
Aim: To investigate the biocompatibility and bacterial adhesion properties of light responsive materials (LRM) and analyze the feasibility and biosafety of employing LRM in the preparation of accommodative intraocular lenses (AIOLs).
Methods: Employing fundamental experimental research techniques, LRM with human lens epithelial cells (hLECs) and human retinal pigment epithelium cells (ARPE-19 cells) were co-cultured. Commercially available intraocular lenses (IOLs) were used as controls to perform cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), cell staining under varying light intensities, cell adhesion and bacterial adhesion experiments.
Effects of ambient atmospheric pressure on intraocular pressure measured using a Goldman applanation tonometer in normal eyes under ordinary conditions.

Purpose: Little is known about the effects of ambient atmospheric pressure (AP) on intraocular pressure (IOP) under ordinary conditions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of AP on Goldmann applanation tonometer-measured IOP (GAT-IOP) in normal eyes under everyday atmospheric conditions adjusting for effects of possible confounding factors including other climatic factors.
Methods: Data obtained from 2,431 normal healthy eyes of 2,431 subjects (mean age: 56.
The Role of Eye Movements in the Process of Silicone Oil Emulsification After Vitreoretinal Surgery.
Bioengineering (Basel)

Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of Genoa, Via Montallegro 1, 16145 Genoa, Italy.
Emulsification is a feared and common complication of the use of silicone oil (SO) as tamponade fluid after vitrectomy as it potentially associated with significant risks to ocular health, including elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), glaucoma, corneal and retinal changes. The aim of this study was to investigate the role and interplay of physical factors on the formation of SO emulsion. Experiments were performed in a model of the vitreous chamber with a realistic shape, filled with SO and an aqueous solution containing different concentrations of albumin, an endogenous protein known to modify the interfacial properties between SO and aqueous solutions.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the CT Lucia 602 intraocular lenses implanted without capsular support to assess their condition after being explanted due to issues like decentration or dislocation.
- It includes a review of 13 lenses, with a focus on haptic status and the presence of the "rotisserie" effect, using a combination of clinical data and pathological analysis.
- Results showed a significant number of haptic failures and indicated that the "rotisserie" effect primarily occurred in lenses manufactured in specific batches, mainly noted in the latter half of 2022.
Controlled Elevation of Intraocular Pressure (CEI) Glaucoma Model in Rats.
Methods Mol Biol

Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR, USA.
Experimental elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP), a major glaucoma risk factor, has been a mainstay of research into mechanisms of glaucomatous optic nerve damage for decades. Methods that produce sustained IOP elevation can mimic the chronic nature of glaucoma and produce optic nerve damage. However, the pressure course for individual animals can be variable, unpredictably high at times, and difficult to monitor with current tonometry methods.
