Sutural cataracts and pupillary membranes are congenital abnormalities, the former being an atypical type of congenital cataract resulting from the opacification of the lens sutures, and the latter developing from the remnants of the tunica vasculosa lentis. While genetic mutations related to sutural cataracts are becoming increasingly known and pupillary membranes are sometimes related to polar cataracts, no genetic studies have been conducted to link these two alterations. We present an unusual case of a woman with an unnoticed congenital sutural cataract and a pupillary membrane in opposite eyes.

Trifold technique for pupil reconstruction in large non-appositional iris defects.
Indian J Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Uvea, Cataract and Cornea, Dr. Agarwal Eye Hospital and Eye Research Centre, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Large iris defects are challenging to close due to shortage of tissue and opposite vector force. By using two pupilloplasty methods, we can close large iris defects with less tractional force or tethering. The trifold technique is a combination of trocar-assisted iris repair and single-pass four-throw (SFT) pupilloplasty for non-appositional large iris defects.

Objective: This study aims to present and analyze the results of the French cohort in a European Board of Ophthalmology (EBO) survey on cataract surgical training in Europe, highlighting the particularities of French training.
Materials And Methods: A 23-question electronic questionnaire was sent to interns applying for the EBO examination from 2018 to 2022. Responses from French participants were specifically collected and analyzed.

Department of Ophthalmology, Strasbourg University Hospital, NHC, University of Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France.
Introduction: This study, part of a series, analyses the Swiss cohort from an EBO survey on cataract surgery training in Europe, focusing on Switzerland's unique program. The survey identifies two models: training all residents in surgery, and a "high-volume surgeon" model where only some learn CS post-residency.
Methods: This study analyses the survey results of Swiss participants in the EBO examinations (2018-2022) and compared them with the most important cohorts (Germany, France and Spain).
Managing surgical aphakia and posterior capsular rupture with suture-assisted intraocular lens implantation.
Oman J Ophthalmol
October 2024
Department of Glaucoma, CL Gupta Eye Institute, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Objective: This study aims to describe a novel technique for implanting an intraocular lens (IOL) in the sulcus using a 10-0 nylon suture in cases of intraoperative posterior capsular rupture (PCR) with inadequate capsular support, anterior capsular extension during continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis extending to the posterior capsule, or posttraumatic cataract.
Methods: The study included 52 patients who underwent surgery at our hospital, during which an IOL was implanted with the assistance of a 10-0 nylon suture. All patients completed a 1-year follow-up period.
Double-Suture Scleral-Fixated Intraocular Lens With Two Polypropylene Sutures.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Prince of Wales Hospital, Sha Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong, SAR.
Purpose: We present a modified technique in performing scleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) using 2 pairs of double-armed 9-O polypropylene sutures and an ab-externo technique, in 2 patients with surgical aphakia after complicated cataract surgery.
Methods: Two eyes of 2 patients underwent this modified technique by an experienced cataract surgeon (A.L.
