Purpose: Comparison of the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas (SRK II, SRK/T, Holladay 1, Hoffer Q and Barrett II Universal, Haigis) in pediatric cataract surgery using optical biometry.
Method: This prospective study included seventy eyes of 70 patients between ages of 3-15 who had undergone cataract surgery with IOL implantation. Anterior segment parameters and axial length (AL) were measured with an optical biometer. Barrett II Universal formula results were used to determine the diopter of implanted IOL. Postoperative refraction was taken at first month, and differences from the estimated refractive value [mean absolute predictive error (APE)] were compared between formulas. Formulas were also compared according to AL.
Results: The lowest APE was achieved with Barrett II formula (0.64 ± 0.73D) and the highest with Haigis formula (1.06 ± 0.84D) in the whole study population (p < 0.01). APE values were lowest with Holladay 1 (0.79 ± 0.71D) and highest with Haigis (1.44 ± 0.92D) in patients with an AL ≤ 22 mm; lowest APE was achieved with Barrett II (0.47 ± 0.54D) and highest with Haigis (0.84 ± 0.72D) in patients with an AL > 22 mm.
Conclusion: Barrett II formula had the best results in eyes with average AL, and SRK/T and Holladay 1 formulas were better in eyes with shorter AL. Haigis formula statistically had the highest predictive error in all formulas.

Purpose: To identify a method for comparing preoperative axial length (AL) measurements with postoperative AL in submacular hemorrhage (SMH).
Study Design: Retrospective.
Methods: This study included 30 patients who underwent vitrectomy for SMH (January 2016-January 2023) with preoperative and postoperative AL data.

Purpose: To analyze the latest annual trends in immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) and delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery (DSBCS) among patients with bilateral cataracts in Korea, and to identify the factors influencing the choice of surgery and the outcomes associated with ISBCS and DSBCS.
Methods: This retrospective, nationwide cohort study included all patients aged 65 and older who were covered by the Korean National Health Insurance and underwent ISBCS or DSBCS from 2016 to 2021. The study recorded yearly numbers of ISBCS and DSBCS procedures, the interval between surgeries in DSBCS cases, patient demographics, types of implanted intraocular lenses (IOLs), and the incidence of cystoid macular edema and endophthalmitis following ISBCS or DSBCS.

Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics of glaucoma-related adverse events (GRAE) after pediatric cataract surgery. More importantly, to identify the factors associated with the time of GRAE onset and the preferred anti-glaucomatous surgical procedure for this disease.
Methods: Hospitalized medical records of patients who developed GRAE, which include glaucoma and glaucoma suspect, after pediatric cataract surgery (surgical age ≤ 14 years) between 1994 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed.

Purpose: To describe the safety and assess the feasibility of using intracameral cefuroxime sodium (Aprokam®) during congenital cataract surgery as a preventive measure for endophthalmitis.
Design: Monocentric, prospective, observational pilot study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to use calorimetry to understand the difference in energy transferred by three phacoemulsification surgical platforms to the eye.
Patients And Methods: A phacoemulsification tip was lowered into a double-walled calorimeter filled with distilled water. The foot pedal was depressed for 30 seconds and the change in temperature of the water was measured by a temperature probe.
