Aim: To assess the impact of posterior corneal asphericity on postoperative astigmatism.
Methods: We included retrospectively 70 eyes of 70 patients that underwent cataract surgery. We included data of the value, , 1, 2, astigmatism AL, and ACD. We performed a vectorial analysis to calculate the astigmatic vectors.
Results: Seventy eyes were evaluated. 40 eyes were of females (58%) and 30 of males (42%). The average cohort age was 73 ± 8.9 years. Axial length (AL) was 23.5 ± 0.9, anterior chamber depth (ACD) was 3.13 ± 0.3, and the average posterior value was -0.35 ± 0.2. The only significant predictive variable for the correction index (CI) was the posterior value ( = 0.24, < 0.05) and for the surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) ( = 0.34, = 0.58, < 0.05).
Conclusion: Posterior corneal surface asphericity significantly influences the surgically induced astigmatism and the overcorrection for cataract patients after Lucidis EDOF IOL implantation.

: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a surgical technique for managing post-penetrating keratoplasty (PK) ectasia complicated by late endothelial failure (LEF). : A single-center pilot case series was conducted regarding consecutive patients affected by post-PK ectasia with late graft failure. Using a microkeratome, a single donor cornea was dissected to prepare a two-piece graft, comprising a larger anterior lamella made up of anterior stroma and a smaller posterior lamella made up of posterior stroma, Descemet's membrane, and endothelium.

Purpose: A human model able to simulate the manifestation of corneal endothelium decompensation could be advantageous for wound healing and future cell therapy assessment. The study aimed to establish an ex vivo human cornea endothelium wound model where endothelium function can be evaluated by measuring corneal thickness changes.
Methods: The human cornea was maintained in an artificial anterior chamber, with a continuous culture medium infusion system designed to sustain corneal endothelium and epithelium simultaneously.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas in cataract patients with keratoconus (KC).
Methods: This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis statementand and was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024568997). Pubmed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were searched for retrospective and prospective clinical studies published until October 2024.
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.
