Background: Foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB), a novel artificial vitreous substitute product, has been used clinically in recent years. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes and complications of FCVB implantation surgery during the postoperative period.
Methods: We performed a prospective, nonrandomized study from November 2021 to March 2022. Eight patients with severe retinal detachment that could not be easily reattached were included in this study. Before and after surgery, visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), slit-lamp microscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT), B-scan and CT were performed.
Results: After the operation, the FCVB was well distributed in the vitreous cavity and supported the retina according to the B-scan and CT images. During the follow-up period, no vitreous hemorrhage or retinal detachment was found in any of the patients. On the first postoperative day, the average IOP increased from 9.6 ± 7.7 mmHg preoperatively to 13.8 ± 14.3 mmHg. Although the IOP of two patients fell outside the normal range, IOP was finally held steady after the fifth postoperative day in all cases. In addition, three patients (37.5%) experienced eye ache, and after taking a Saridon tablet, the pain was greatly alleviated. Moreover, no adverse events, such as silicone oil (SO) spillage and emulsification or serious complications, were observed.
Conclusion: The current vitreous substitute FCVB is effective and safe for treating complicated retinal detachments in ophthalmic applications. Further multiple-center clinical designs should focus on indications and complications of FCVB during long-term follow-up periods.

Intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation is not an uncommon complication and often requires surgical intervention, depending on the status of capsular bag support. Conventionally, posterior dislocation of a foldable IOL or the IOL-bag complex warrants their removal as foldable IOLs are not ideal for sulcus placement. The technique presented here describes using quadrilateral sutures to refix looped haptic IOLs at the ciliary sulcus with or without a bag complex.

Purpose: The Foldable Capsular Vitreous Bag (FCVB) implant is useful in maintaining ocular structure in cases of chronic hypotony secondary to trauma or repeated surgery. There are few published reports of long-term outcomes and no indication of the chronic cellular changes of the adjacent tissues associated with FCVB implantation. We describe one of few FCVB cases in the UK and present histological findings associated with it following secondary enucleation.

Purpose: To compare refractive outcomes of the foldable intraocular lens sutureless scleral fixated sutureless (Carlevale® FIL-SSF) with the iris-claw lens (Artisan®).
Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients who underwent a FIL-SSF implantation or an iris-claw implantation between January 2020 and November 2022 in the ophthalmology departments of Hospices Civils de Lyon (France).
Results: A total of 271 eyes from 265 patients were included: 96 eyes in the FIL-SSF group and 175 eyes in the iris-claw group.

Introduction The material of modern intraocular lenses must meet the highest standards and fulfill various requirements. It is crucial that the material shows the best biocompatibility and should be flexible for an uncomplicated implantation process through small corneal incisions but also sufficiently rigid for good stability and centering in the capsular bag. In addition, the optic must remain clear for life and retain the best optical properties.

Objective: Successful intraocular lens (IOL) placement in cataract surgery is synonymous with the IOL being placed in the capsular bag. When the capsular bag is violated, the ciliary sulcus becomes an option to approximate an in- the-bag position. Studies report that single-piece foldable acrylic (SPA) IOLs are a poor choice for the sulcus.
