Clinical Relevance: Understanding changes in ocular anatomical parameters after intraocular lens implantation will allow a more accurate determination of dioptric power prior to surgery.
Background: The crystalline lens position might change due to the implantation and removal of an implantable collamer lens (ICL) or toric implantable collamer lens (TICL). This study aimed to assess the effect of ICL implantation on position of the crystalline lens.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent V4c ICL or V4c TICL implantation between March and September, 2018. Preoperative and post-operative (2 weeks, 3 months and 6 months) axial length, central corneal thickness, crystalline lens position, crystalline lens thickness and vault height were analysed. Multivariable linear regression was used to determine the variables associated with 6-month changes in lens position.
Results: This study included 117 eyes of 117 patients. There were decreases in all vertical distance measures from the central corneal endothelium to the anterior and posterior crystalline lens capsule (all p > 0.05). The amount of reduction was related to the crystalline lens position before the operation and crystalline lens thickness after the operation (all p < 0.01). An error in anterior chamber depth and lens thickness may appear when the ICL/TICL is close to the crystalline lens.
Conclusion: Phakic intraocular lens implantation resulted in lens thickening and forward movement on day 1 post-operatively, which becomes stable within 6 months. Preoperative lens position and post-operative lens thickness were related to the amount of movement.

Background: Lens implantation becomes a major concern in patients lacking posterior capsular support, but various methods are available for rehabilitation. In such patients, scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) implantation is preferred due to its fewer complications and better simulation of the natural lens position. In this non-randomized retrospective clinical study, we aimed to assess visual outcomes after sutureless SFIOL implantation in aphakic patients and factors affecting visual outcomes.

The high risks of traumatic cataract treatments promoted the development of the concept of autologous lens regeneration. Biochemical cues can influence the cellular behavior of stem cells, and in this case, biophysical cues may be the important factors in producing rapid activation of cellular behavior. Here we bio-printed mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) using a commonly used bioink sodium alginate-gelatin blends, and investigated the induction effect of MSC differentiation towards lens epithelial stem cells (LESCs) under a combination of biochemical cues and biophysical cues.

Background: Human anterior lens capsules (ALCs) have great potential in the treatment of multiple eye diseases, including corneal ulcers, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and macular holes. ALCs are also regarded as promising scaffolds for various ocular cells. Here, we investigated different decellularization methods for removing lens epithelial cells (LECs) that adhered to ALCs.

Mimicking compositions and structures of extracellular matrix is widely studied to create in vitro tumor models, to deepen the understanding of the pathogenesis of the different types of cancer, and to identify new therapies. On the other hand, the use of synthetic materials to modulate cancer cell biology and, possibly, to reduce the malignancy of cancer cells through their exploitation is far less explored. Here, the study evaluates the effects of Liquid Crystalline Networks (LCNs) based scaffolds on the growth of A375 metastatic melanoma cells.
