Project description:PurposeTo report the incidence of anterior capsule contraction syndrome (ACCS) and to present a novel minimally invasive bimanual technique for anterior segment revision surgery associated with ACCS with anterior flexion of the intraocular lens haptics.MethodsA consecutive cohort of 268 eyes of 161 patients undergoing phacoemulsification and implantation of the same type of hydrophilic acrylic aspheric intraocular lens cohort were analysed and a novel technique of minimally invasive bimanual technique for anterior segment revision surgery is described.ResultsWe identified four eyes (1.5%) of three patients with advanced ACCS. Successful restoration of a clear visual axis with minimal induction of astigmatism and rapid visual rehabilitation was achieved in all four cases.ConclusionThis technique is a safe and minimally invasive alternative to laser or vitrector-cut capsulotomy to restore a clear visual axis. In cases of advanced ACCS, it offers the option for haptic reposition or amputation.

Project description:PurposeThis study was performed to investigate the relationships among crystalline lens shape, actual intraocular lens (IOL) position, and crystalline lens thickness (LT), as measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), and to determine anterior ocular segment parameters that predict postoperative IOL position.MethodsSeventy-nine eyes of 79 patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery were enrolled. For crystalline lens preoperative anterior segment data, the LT, and anterior, equatorial, and posterior surface depths (ASD, ESD, and PSD, respectively) of crystalline lenses were quantitatively determined. For postoperative anterior segment data, the actual IOL position was quantified. Moreover, the following correlations were analyzed: LT with the ASD, ESD, PSD, and IOL position; IOL position with the ASD, ESD, and PSD; and refractive prediction error with the difference between the predicted postoperative anterior chamber depth (ACD) of the SRK/T formula and the IOL position, ASD, ESD, and PSD (each depth minus the predicted postoperative ACD of the SRK/T formula).ResultsThe LT was significantly correlated with the ASD (r = -0.65) and PSD (r = 0.41), whereas it was not correlated with the ESD or IOL position. The IOL position was significantly correlated with the ASD (r = 0.67), ESD (r = 0.72), and PSD (r = 0.74). The refractive prediction error was significantly correlated with the difference between the predicted postoperative ACD of the SRK/T formula and the IOL position (r = 0.65), ASD (r = 0.46), ESD (r = 0.54), and PSD (r = 0.58).ConclusionsThe ESD and PSD obtained using AS-OCT were highly correlated with the IOL position and significantly correlated with the refractive prediction error. These findings suggest that the ESD and PSD may enhance the accuracy of actual IOL position prediction.

Project description:PurposeThe finding of an anterior chamber cilium after small incision cataract surgery is rare, with only five prior cases being found on literature review. Strategies include observation if there is no evidence of inflammation or infection and prompt removal if the situation changes.1-5 This case adds to the number of case reports and highlights that unexpected findings such as this can be seen on the first postoperative day exam and the clinical decisions made to remove it promptly.ObservationsA 69 year-old woman had uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in the right eye using a superonasal corneal incision and inferotemporal paracentesis. Examination at 1 day noted a cilium in the anterior chamber. The cilium was removed the same day without complications.Conclusions and importanceThis case report shows that intraocular cilia can occasionally be seen following routine small incision sutureless cataract surgery even when there is no evidence of it immediately following surgery.

Project description:Intraocular lens (IOL) exchange after cataract surgery is unusual but may be associated with suboptimal visual outcome. The incidence of IOL exchange has not been consistently estimated. Such information is invaluable when counseling patients prior to cataract surgery. We examined the incidence of, and indications and risk factors for, IOL exchange after cataract surgery. We also assessed visual outcome of eyes that had an IOL exchange. A cohort design was used to estimate the incidence of IOL exchange and a case-control design to identify factors associated with it. All phacoemulsification surgeries with IOL (n = 17415 eyes) during 2010-2017 and those that had a subsequent IOL removal or replacement during the same time period were identified (n = 34 eyes). The incidence of IOL exchange was 2 per 1000 surgeries (95% confidence interval [CI] 1 to 3) over 8 years. Eyes that underwent subsequent IOL removal or replacement were compared with eyes that had cataract surgery only (n = 47) across demographic and clinical characteristics. In a binary logistic regression analysis, two factors were significantly associated with IOL exchange/removal: an adverse event during cataract surgery (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 19.45; 95% CI 4.89-77.30, P < 0.001) and a pre-existing ocular comorbidity (aOR 10.70; 95% CI 1.69-67.63, P = 0.021). The effect of gender was marginally significant (P = 0.077). Eyes that underwent IOL exchange or explantation were nearly two and a half times more likely to have a final best-corrected visual acuity of <20/60 compared to those that had cataract surgery alone (adjusted RR 2.60 95% CI, 1.13-6.02; P = 0.025).

Project description:Cataract surgery combined with excimer laser trabeculotomy (phaco-ELT) can reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of phaco-ELT on IOP in patients as a function of preoperative IOP.Patients with open-angle glacuoma or ocular hypertension who received phaco-ELT between 01/2008 and 10/2009 were included. Patients were assigned based on preoperative IOP either to the study group (?21 mmHg) or control group (>21 mmHg) in this IRB-approved, prospective, consecutive case series. Visual Acuity, IOP, and number of anti-glaucoma drugs (AGD) were recorded at baseline and 12 months after phaco-ELT. Any postoperative complications were also recorded.64 eyes of 64 patients (76.5 ± 9.4 years) were included. Baseline IOP was 19.8 ± 5.3 mmHg (AGD 2.4 ± 1.1) for all eyes, 16.5 ± 2.9 mmHg (AGD 2.5 ± 1.0) for the study group, and 25.8 ± 2.9 mmHg (AGD 2.2 ± 1.4) for the control group. Across the two groups, IOP was reduced by 4.5 ± 5.9 mmHg (-23.0%, p < 0.001) and AGD by 0.9 ± 1.5 (-38.9%, p < 0.001). For the study group IOP was reduced by 1.9 ± 4.4 mmHg (-11. 5 %, p = 0.012) and AGD by 1.1 ± 1.4 (-42.9%, p < 0.001), and for the control group by 9.5 ± 5.4 mmHg (-36.6%, p < 0.001) and AGD by 0.7 ± 1.6 (-29.5%, p = 0.085). There were no serious postoperative complications such as endophthalmitis, significant hyphema, or a severe fibrinous reaction of the anterior chamber.IOP remained significantly reduced from baseline 12 months after phaco-ELT regardless of preoperative IOP levels, with no major complications. The IOP reduction remained constant over the entire follow-up. Hence, phaco-ELT can be considered in glaucoma and ocular hypertensive patients whenever cataract surgery is performed, in order to further reduce IOP or to reduce the requirement for IOP-reducing medications.

Project description:Purpose:To investigate the relation between intraocular pressure (IOP) and the idiopathic long anterior zonule (LAZ) trait. Methods:Patients presenting for primary eye care were examined for LAZ, identified as radially oriented zonular fibers with central extension >1.0 mm beyond the normal anterior lens insertion zone (estimated via slit lamp beam length). Ocular, systemic health, and lifestyle data were collected via comprehensive exam and questionnaire. Multivariate regression was used to assess the relationship between IOP (Goldmann) and LAZ. Results:There were 2169 non-LAZ and 129 LAZ subjects (mean age: 49.8 ± 15.0 vs. 62.6 ± 10.2 years; 63.6% vs. 76.0% female; 83.2% vs. 91.5% African American). Right eyes with >trace LAZ (n = 59 of 110) had higher unadjusted mean IOP than control eyes (16.4 ± 3.3 vs. 15.0 ± 3.3 mm Hg, P = 0.005), and with control for numerous factors, LAZ eyes had an average IOP of approximately 1.3 ± 0.4 mm Hg higher (P = 0.003) than non-LAZ eyes. Final model covariates included sex (P = 0.001); spherical-equivalent refractive error (D; P < 0.0001); body mass index (kg/m2; P < 0.001); presence of diabetes (P < 0.001); having >high school education (P < 0.001); systolic blood pressure (mm Hg; P < 0.0001); being an ever smoker (P = 0.006); and having history of any site cancer (P = 0.01). Conclusions:The LAZ trait, with potential prevalence near 2%, was associated with a higher IOP. This observation is consistent with the hypothesis that the trait is a marker for underlying mechanisms that elevate glaucoma risk.

Project description:PurposeTo report a case with macular edema associated with uveitis, a decreased corneal endothelial cell density, and vitreous opacity caused by migrated intraocular antibiotic ointment after uneventful cataract surgery.ObservationsA 63-year-old man underwent uneventful sutureless superior clear corneal phacoemulsification and implantation of an intraocular lens in his right eye. Eleven months later, he complained of blurred vision when he gazed downward. Three months later, uveitis, vitreous opacity, and retinal hemorrhage were noted. Optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography demonstrated macular edema in the right eye. A slit-lamp examination revealed many tiny oily deposits on the iris surface. One month later, a globular oily droplet was detected at the 12 o'clock position of the iridocorneal angle. Because the corneal endothelial cell density appeared to be progressively decreased, the oily droplet was removed, and the anterior chamber was irrigated with a balanced salt solution using an irrigation-aspiration cannula. After surgery, the macular edema, vitreous opacity, and retinal hemorrhage disappeared.Conclusions and importanceIn this case, ofloxacin ointment had presumably migrated into the anterior chamber through a corneal incision after cataract surgery. The fact that the droplet of ointment was able to be detected more than one year after the cataract surgery suggests that dispersed tiny droplets can slowly coalesce into a globular droplet and wander between the anterior and posterior chambers, thereby causing uveitis, corneal endothelial cell damage, and macular edema. The removal of the intraocular ointment resolved these complications. This is the second report of intraocular ointment causing macular edema.

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.

Project description:IntroductionTo evaluate the characteristics of optic nerve head (ONH) in highly myopic eyes and its role in predicting intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes after cataract surgery.MethodsPatients who are highly myopic and were scheduled for cataract surgery were enrolled in this prospective case series study. IOP was measured preoperatively and at 1 day and 3 days postoperatively. ONH characteristics including area, tilt ratio, lamina cribrosa (LC) thickness, and depth, and the presence of LC defects were evaluated with enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography. Factors influencing LC defects and early IOP spike were investigated using multivariate stepwise logistic regression.ResultsIn total, 200 highly myopic eyes of 200 patients were analyzed: 35.00% had small ONH, 53.00% had ONH tilt, and 14.00% had LC defects. Multivariate analysis demonstrated female patients with larger ONH area and deeper LC tended to have LC defects (all P < 0.05). As to postoperative IOP, IOP change, and incidence of IOP spikes, eyes with small ONH, ONH tilt, and LC defects had similar (all P > 0.05), higher (all P < 0.05), and lower (all P < 0.05) outcomes compared with those without the corresponding characteristic, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that presence of LC defects and thicker LC were protective factors for early IOP spikes, and axial length > 28 mm was a risk factor (all P < 0.05).ConclusionFemale patients with larger ONH area and deeper LC tend to have LC defects, which, together with thicker LC, was correlated with less IOP spikes in highly myopic eyes.Trial registrationThis study was conducted as part of a larger project, the Shanghai High Myopia Study, registered at www.Clinicaltrialsgov (accession number NCT03062085).
