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 Double Intraocular Lens Exchange in Nanophthalmic Eyes.

Project description:IntroductionThough patients with nanophthalmos frequently endure decreased quality of vision with contact lenses or spectacles, refractive surgery is generally an inadequate alternative due to the associated high refractive error. A refractive lens exchange (RLE) is an alternative option but is technically challenging, requiring accuracy in biometry measurements and procedures.Case presentationThis case discusses a 27-year-old female with nanophthalmos (axial lengths 17.6 mm and 17.4 mm, right and left eyes, respectively) who underwent a femtosecond laser-assisted (FLA) RLE with simultaneous implantation of a monofocal and a Sulcoflex trifocal (Rayner, Britain) lens in each eye. Preoperative cycloplegic refraction was +11.50/-0.75 × 145 and +12.00/-1.00 × 35 in the RE and LE, respectively. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at distance and near in the RE and LE was 6/7.5 and J1, 6/8.5 and J2, respectively. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was >6/120 and >J14 for each eye. FLA RLE was performed in the RE, then in the LE 2 weeks later. In each eye, a monofocal (44.0 D, RE, and LE) and a Sulcoflex trifocal lens (both implants, Rayner, Britain) were implanted in one procedure. Distance and near UCVA measured 6 weeks post-op RE and 1-month post-op LE at 6/8.5 and J1 in the RE, 6/10 and J1 in the LE. The RE and LE refraction and BCVA were +0.50/-1.00 × 115, 6/7.5, and plano/-1.00 × 55, 6/8.5, respectively. The post-op outcomes were uneventful.ConclusionA single procedure concurrently implanting a monofocal and Sulcoflex trifocal intraocular lens in nanophthalmic eyes resulted in an excellent UCVA. This procedure can be considered esthetic and reconstructive as it significantly improves patient appearance and function.

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.

Posterior capsule dynamics during femtosecond laser lens fragmentation.

Project description:PurposeThe dynamics of the posterior capsule during femtosecond laser lens fragmentation has received little attention in the literature. We analysed the movements of the posterior capsule to identify the rupture risk factors, if any, and to suggest possible modification of the laser spot energy pattern during fragmentation.Materials and methodsPosterior capsule ruptures during fragmentation were identified over a 10-year period of femtosecond laser use. In addition, the dynamics of the posterior capsule were identified through the real-time swept-source OCT lateral view available during the surgeries.ResultsOut of the 1465 laser cataract procedures performed, we recorded 1 case of posterior capsule rupture during lens fragmentation, which was caused by eye movement that was detected but ignored by the surgeon. Three types of posterior capsule dynamics were identified, all related to a gas bubble formation during the first part of the lens fragmentation. In eyes with a hard nucleus, the concussion of the posterior capsule was evident, however, with no capsule rupture.DiscussionMaintaining good docking throughout the whole procedure seems important in avoiding a posterior capsule cut by the femtosecond laser. In addition, a Gaussian pattern of spot energy is suggested when fragmenting hard cataracts.

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.
