Traditionally, IOL implantation in eyes with uveitis has not been recommended. In the present study 31 eyes with uveitis which underwent extracapsular cataract extraction or phacoemulsification with IOL implantation, are compared to a reference group consisting of 930 eyes. There was increased postoperative inflammation in 29% in the uveitis group, compared to 5.9% in the reference group. The rate of per- and postoperative complications was slightly elevated in the group with uveitis. Corrected visual acuity of 5/8.5 or better was achieved in 58.1%. The major obstacle to good visual acuity postoperatively, was macular pathology.

To analyze the refractive accuracy of a novel swept-source optical coherence biometer (SS-OCT), that uses individual refractive indices to measure axial length, in short and long eyes implanted with monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). This retrospective comparative study considered eyes with short axial length (AL) (< 22.5 mm) or long AL (> 26 mm) bilaterally implanted with the Acrysof IQ monofocal IOL.

Purpose: To evaluate visual outcomes and quality of vision following bilateral implantation of a hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) in eyes targeted for emmetropia.
Methods: This was a prospective, single arm study. Subjects were bilaterally implanted with the Clareon PanOptix IOL and evaluated at 1 and 3 months postoperatively.

Background Recommendations regarding long-term postoperative activity are intended to prevent adverse events, but no common policy or best practice exists among ophthalmologists for pediatric patients. We surveyed ophthalmologists on their postoperative guidelines after the one-month postoperative period following childhood cataract and glaucoma surgeries. Methods A 28-question anonymous Qualtrics survey was distributed via listservs and social media.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after bilateral implantation of a new hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens called Clareon (Alcon) using the mini-monovision technique.
Methods: A single-center, prospective, nonrandomized study was conducted in Tandil (Buenos Aires, Argentina), including patients scheduled for cataract surgery. To achieve mini-monovision, the spherical equivalent was calculated between -0.
The VaMa (Vatavuk and Marić) Artificial Intraocular Lens Capsule: A Novel Device and Method for Reversible Secondary Intraocular Lens Implantation in Patients with Aphakia Without Efficient Capsular Support.

Department of Ophthalmology, UHC Sestre Milosrdnice, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia.
We describe a novel experimental device, the VaMa (Vatavuk and Marić) artificial intraocular lens (IOL) capsule, and a method that enables all IOL types to be implanted in the bag. We present the application of the device and the procedure in patients with aphakia and native capsule damage and without efficient capsular support. The VaMa device and the method facilitate IOL exchange due to refractive errors and, in the case of their invention, the implementation of superior IOLs in the future.
