Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of implantable collamer lenses (ICLs) for patients with keratoconus through a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing research.
- A total of 16 observational studies involving 397 eyes were analyzed, showing significant improvements in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and various refractive measures, but no substantial changes in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA).
- Overall, the findings suggest that ICLs are safe and beneficial for vision correction in keratoconus patients, though limitations such as study design and follow-up duration were noted.

Vitreo Retinal Unit, Al Bahar Eye Hospital, Kuwait City, Kuwait.
Purpose: To report the results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) assisted by ophthalmic endoscope (OE) in severe ocular trauma cases which are unsuitable for PPV using wide-angle contact/non-contact lens due to media haze and/or disorganised anterior segment.
Methods: Prospective, non-comparative, interventional case series. Main outcome measured was anatomic status of the retina postoperatively, secondary outcome measured was functional status regarding vision, intraocular pressure and control of inflammation in cases of endophthalmitis.
