Femtosecond laser-assisted successful management of subluxated cataractous lens with vitreous in anterior chamber.

ABSTRACT: Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery was performed in a case of posttraumatic cataract with six clock hours subluxation and vitreous in the anterior chamber (AC). Femtosecond laser pretreatment allowed a closed-chamber creation of corneal incisions, capsulotomy, and lens fragmentation with minimal sudden lens-diaphragm movements and zonular stress. Integrated imaging systems allowed customization of the size and position of capsulotomy and nuclear fragmentation, based on the extent and site of subluxation. Presence of vitreous in AC did not hamper femtosecond laser application. Triamcinolone-assisted vitrectomy was performed before phacoemulsification and after implanting the intraocular lens (IOL). Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity was 20/20 with a stable IOL.

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in a patient with posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens.

Project description:We describe a case of modified femtosecond laser settings for cataract extraction in a patient with a posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), to avoid incomplete treatment patterns and treatment displacement. Modification of laser settings (increased depth for the capsulotomy, increased vertical spot spacing for the capsulotomy and increased anterior and posterior capsule safety margins for lens fragmentation) seems to make femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery feasible in patients with posterior chamber PIOLs, as complete treatment patterns are achieved.

Femtosecond laser - Assisted cataract surgery in pediatric pyramidal anterior polar cataract.

Project description:PurposeThe purpose of this report is to describe the successful utilization of femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) in a rare case of pyramidal anterior polar cataract in a female child.ObservationsThe patient is a 6 years old girl that presented to the cornea clinic with a unilateral pyramidal cataract that was deemed to be visually significant, and therefore required cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation surgery. FLACS was proposed and mother consented to proceed with the surgery. The femtosecond laser technology enabled precise completion of a central capsulotomy around the protruding pyramidal capsular lesion.Conclusions and importanceconclusionVarious capsulorhexis techniques have been described and are used in pediatric cataracts including manual, can opener, vitrectorhexis, and laser, but none has become a standard. We propose the use of femtosecond laser for cataract extraction in cases of pediatric pyramidal cataracts, and hereby provide the first case report of such. The laser is a safe method for capsulorhexis construction and offers an additional advantage of intraoperative anterior segment OCT image guidance with visualization of the pyramidal lesion.

Effect of Myopic Femtosecond Laser-Assisted LASIK on Anterior Chamber Inflammation (Flare Values) and Corneal Endothelium: A Prospective before and after Study.

Project description:PurposeThis study aimed to investigate whether femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK (FS-LASIK) surgery causes inflammation in the anterior chamber and to analyze its effect on endothelial cells.MethodsThis prospective, longitudinal study included left eyes of 30 patients (19 females) who had undergone FS-LASIK surgery due to myopia and myopic astigmatism. Endothelial cell density (ECD) and morphological measurements were performed using a specular microscopy, and laser flare photometry was used to measure the anterior chamber flare values on the day of surgery. iFS™ Advanced FS and VISX STAR S4-IR Wavescan Excimer Laser platforms were used. Flare measurements were repeated on the postoperative 1st day and 7th day and the 1st and 3rd months. The endothelial measurements were repeated in the 3rd month.ResultsPreoperatively, the mean flare was 5.59 ± 1.24 photons/ms; it was 6.49 ± 2.42 on the postoperative 1st day, 5.87 ± 2.27 on the 7th day, 5.68 ± 1.66 on the 1st month, and 5.35 ± 1.24 on the 3rd month. A significant difference was observed only between the preoperative and postoperative 1st day flare values (p=0.047). The decrease in the ECD was clinically insignificant but statistically significant, with an average of 97.0 ± 209.9 cell count/mm2 (3.3%, p=0.017). However, there was no significant change in the coefficient of variation (p=0.448) and hexagonality (p=0.096). No significant correlation was found between the increase in the flare value on the postoperative 1st day and variables. A significant correlation was found between the decrease in ECD and the preoperative ECD (r = 0.356, p=0.027).ConclusionFS-LASIK caused minimal inflammation in the anterior chamber on only the 1st postoperative day; additionally, a minimal decrease of cell count with no morphological changes were noted in the endothelial cells on postoperative 3rd month. This trial is registered with NCT04899258.

Evaluation of femtosecond laser-assisted anterior capsulotomy in the presence of ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVDs).

Project description:The introduction of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery is an alternative approach to conventional cataract surgery. Our study aimed to determine the effectiveness of femtosecond laser-assisted capsulotomy in the presence of different ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVDs) in the anterior chamber. Fresh porcine eyes (n?=?96) underwent LDV Z8-assisted anterior capsulotomy, either in the presence of an OVD (Viscoat, Provisc, Healon, Healon GV or HPMC) or without, using 90% and 150% energies respectively. Following that, the capsule circularity, tag's arc-length, tag-length, tag-area and rupture strength (mN) of the residual capsular bag were evaluated. We found that increasing energy from 90 to 150% across the OVD sub-groups improved the studied capsulotomy parameters. Amongst the 90% energy sub-groups, the circularity and tag-parameters were worse with Viscoat and Healon GV, which have higher refractive index and viscosity compared to the aqueous humour. Using 150% energy, Healon GV showed a significantly worse total arc-length (p?=?0.01), total tag-length (p?=?0.03) and total tag-area (p?=?0.05) compared to the control group. We concluded that; an OVD with a refractive index similar to aqueous humour and lower viscosity, such as Healon or Provisc, as well as a higher energy setting, are recommended, to enhance the efficacy of laser capsulotomy.

Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty as a Treatment Modality for Recalcitrant Post-Laser in situ Keratomileusis Epithelial Ingrowth.

Project description:The purpose is to present the outcomes of anterior lamellar keratoplasty for a case of post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) epithelial ingrowth. A 40-year-old male patient presented with epithelial ingrowth 14 years after primary LASIK with a microkeratome blade in the right eye following trauma. Multiple stromal bed washing was done over a period of 3 years, but recurrence of epithelial ingrowth was seen every time. Femtosecond laser-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty was performed in the right eye. Twelve months after the procedure, the patient's corrected distance visual acuity improved to 6/9, and no recurrence was noted. Femtosecond laser-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty is an effective treatment modality in cases of recurrent recalcitrant epithelial ingrowth seen after LASIK.

Prediction of anterior chamber volume after implantation of posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens.

Project description:PurposeTo predict the anterior chamber volume (ACV) after implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation based on ICL size and parameters of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).DesignRetrospective study.MethodsThis study included 222 eyes of 222 patients who underwent ICL implantation at Nagoya Eye Clinic. The patients were divided into two groups: prediction group, for creating the prediction equation (148 eyes, mean age: 32.11 ± 8.04 years), and verification group, for verifying the equation (74 eyes, mean age: 33.03 ± 6.74 years). The angle opening distance (AOD), anterior chamber width (ACW), ACV, anterior chamber depth, lens vault, angle-to-angle distance, angle recess area, and trabecular iris space area were calculated using AS-OCT. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed. After the creation of the prediction equation, its accuracy was verified in the verification group.ResultsThe ACV, AOD750, ACW, and ICL size were selected as explanatory variables to predict postoperative ACV. Mean predicted (114.2 ± 21.83 mm3) and actual postoperative ACVs (116.1 ± 25.41 mm3) were not significantly different (P = 0.269); absolute error was 10.59 ± 9.13 mm3. In addition, there was high correlation between actual and predictive ACV (adjusted R2 = 0.6996, p < 0.0001). Bland-Altman plot revealed that there was no addition or proportional error between predicted and actual postoperative ACV.ConclusionPostoperative ACV was accurately predicted using AS-OCT parameters and ICL size. This prediction equation may be useful for making decisions regarding ICL size.

Application of Femtosecond Laser in Anterior Segment Surgery.

Project description:Femtosecond laser (FSL) is a near-infrared laser that can create reliable and reproducible tissue cutting with minimal damage to adjacent tissue. As the laser can also create incisions with various orientations, depths, and shapes, it is expected to be a useful tool for anterior segment surgery, such as cornea, refractive, and cataract surgery. In this review, the authors will introduce the application of FSL in various anterior segment surgeries and discuss the results of studies regarding the efficacy and safety of FSL in cornea, refractive, and cataract surgery. Experimental studies regarding the potential use of FSL will also be introduced. The studies discussed in this review suggest that FSL may be a useful tool for improving the prognosis and safety of surgeries of the anterior segment.

Femtosecond laser filament induced condensation and precipitation in a cloud chamber.

Project description:A unified picture of femtosecond laser induced precipitation in a cloud chamber is proposed. Among the three principal consequences of filamentation from the point of view of thermodynamics, namely, generation of chemicals, shock waves and thermal air flow motion (due to convection), the last one turns out to be the principal cause. Much of the filament induced chemicals would stick onto the existing background CCN's (Cloud Condensation Nuclei) through collision making the latter more active. Strong mixing of air having a large temperature gradient would result in supersaturation in which the background CCN's would grow efficiently into water/ice/snow. This conclusion was supported by two independent experiments using pure heating or a fan to imitate the laser-induced thermal effect or the strong air flow motion, respectively. Without the assistance of any shock wave and chemical CCN's arising from laser filament, condensation and precipitation occurred. Meanwhile we believe that latent heat release during condensation /precipitation would enhance the air flow for mixing.

Preliminary Results of a Novel Standardized Technique of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty for Keratoconus.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the feasibility and the initial outcomes of a novel standardized surgical technique of femtosecond laser- (FSL-) assisted big-bubble deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (BBDALK) for eyes with keratoconus.MethodsThis prospective interventional case series included 11 consecutive FSL-assisted BBDALK procedures performed for the eyes with keratoconus from September 2019 to December 2019. The FSL was used to create (i) an intrastromal channel incision (1.7 mm in length, 4.6 mm in width, 80% depth, and cut energy of 1.70 μJ) and (ii) a 9.0 mm diameter circular lamellar side cut 65 μm above the endothelium (cut energy of 0.90 μJ) intersecting the intrastromal incision. In the operating room, a blunt dissector was used to open the intrastromal channel incision, through which a blunt spatula was inserted, tangentially advanced towards the center of the cornea, and replaced with a blunt cannula for pneumatic dissection. The subsequent surgical steps did not differ from the conventional technique. Main outcome measures were the success rate of pneumatic dissection and the percentage of intraoperative complications.ResultsEleven eyes of 11 patients (6 males and 5 females; mean age: 34.54 ± 13.23 years) underwent FSL-assisted DALK. Using the FSL, both corneal incisions (lamellar side cut and intrastromal channel incision) were successfully created in all cases without the need for repeat docking or additional dissection. Pneumatic dissection with type 1 bubble formation succeeded in all 11 eyes (100%). DALK surgery was completed uneventfully in all cases. Descemet membrane perforation did not occur in any case, and no procedure was converted to penetrating keratoplasty.ConclusionUsing standardized FSL parameters for both incision design and cut energy in BBDALK surgery, pneumatic dissection can be achieved in a very high rate of cases with minimal risk of intraoperative complications.

Cosmetic outcome of femtosecond laser-assisted pterygium surgery.

Project description:BackgroundTo examine the cosmetic outcome of femtosecond laser-assisted pterygium surgery (FLAPS) with conjunctival autograft (CAG) and its potential predictive factors.MethodsThis was a prospective interventional case series (NCT02866968). We included 29 patients (29 eyes) with primary pterygium who underwent FLAPS. Cosmetic outcome was graded by two graders (an ophthalmology resident and an experienced ophthalmologist) using Hirst classification system (1-4?=?excellent-poor). Weighted Cohen's kappa analysis was performed to examine the intra- and inter-rater reliability. The relationship between cosmetic outcome and various factors were determined by Spearman's correlation coefficients (r).ResultsThe preoperative severity of pterygium (Tan grading system) was mild/atrophic (7%), moderate/intermediate (62%), and severe/fleshy (31%). An ultrathin CAG (mean thickness of 74.5?±?9.8??m) was fashioned intraoperatively. An excellent cosmetic outcome of FLAPS (median?±?IQR) was observed at 3?months (1.0?±?1.0) and remained similar at 6?months (1.0?±?0.0) and 12?months (1.0?±?0.0) postoperatively. At final follow-up, 27 (93%) patients achieved good-to-excellent cosmetic outcome, with 1 (3%) patient having a poor outcome due to incomplete pterygium removal. Weighted kappa analysis of Hirst grading system showed excellent intra-rater (? =?0.86-0.95) and inter-rater reliability (? =?0.84-0.88). There was a weak and borderline significant correlation between good cosmetic outcome and reduced postoperative CAG thickness (r =?0.38, P =?0.06) but not with age, gender, preoperative pterygium severity, or intraoperative CAG thickness.ConclusionsFLAPS can result in an excellent cosmetic outcome, which may be attributed to the beneficial effect of an ultrathin CAG.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov , NCT02866968 . Registered in July 2016.
