Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed open globe injury (OGI) cases in children under six, involving 106 patients predominantly male (57.5%) with an average age of 4.14 years.
  • Sharp objects were the leading cause of OGI, primarily affecting the right eye and resulting in various complications, including traumatic cataracts and endophthalmitis.
  • Fast medical intervention post-injury can reduce the risk of complications like endophthalmitis, highlighting the need for better awareness and strategies to mitigate injury severity in young children.

Article Synopsis
  • - Three Japanese patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) successfully underwent intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation after challenges with traditional fixation methods due to zonular weakness.
  • - Each case utilized a double-needle technique for IOL fixation six to eight weeks after initial cataract surgery, with adjustments like anterior vitrectomy in case two to address complications.
  • - The procedure resulted in positive outcomes, with no serious complications; preserving the lens capsule during fixation helped reduce intraoperative risks and complications, though the long-term safety of this approach needs further investigation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy of foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) filled with either light or heavy silicone oil and the incidence of complications after their implantation for the treatment of severe ocular trauma and silicone oil-dependent eyes.

Methods: FCVB filled with either light (n = 16) or heavy (n = 8) silicone oil was implanted in 24 patients. During the 12-month follow-up period, the intraocular pressure, final best-corrected visual acuity, retinal reattachment condition, position of the FCVB, and complications were assessed.

Article Synopsis
  • Lifebuoy cataract is an uncommon congenital condition that leads to lens thinning, and this study aims to address the limited knowledge and treatment options available through detailed case reports and surgical techniques.
  • A 14-year-old boy with a history of untreated congenital cataract experienced worsening vision, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by various examinations, including slit-lamp microscopy and optical coherence tomography.
  • The surgical intervention involved a careful cataract surgery, highlighting techniques to handle complications like central calcification and residual opacification, although posterior capsulotomy was avoided due to risk of vitreous prolapse.
