Altered stress field of the human lens capsule after cataract surgery.

ABSTRACT: The lens capsule of the eye is important in focusing light onto the retina during the process of accommodation and, in later life, housing a prosthetic lens implanted during cataract surgery. Though considerable modeling work has characterized the mechanics of accommodation, little has been done to understand the mechanics of the lens capsule after cataract surgery. As such, we present the first 3-D finite element model of the post-surgical human lens capsule with an implanted tension ring and, separately, an intraocular lens to characterize the altered stress field compared to that in a model of the native lens capsule. All finite element models employed a Holzapfel hyperelastic constitutive model with regional variations in anisotropy. The post-surgical lens capsule demonstrated a dramatic perturbation to the stress field with mostly large reductions in stresses (except at the equator where the implant contacts the capsule) compared to native, wherein maximal changes in Cauchy stress were -100% and -145% for the tension ring and intraocular lens, respectively. However, implantation of the tension ring produced a more uniform stress field compared to the IOL. The magnitudes and distribution of the perturbed stress field may be an important driver of the fibrotic response of inhabiting lens epithelial cells and associated lens capsule remodeling after cataract surgery. Thus, the mechanical effects of an implant on the lens capsule could be an essential consideration in the design of intraocular lenses, particularly those with an accommodative feature.

Thermoresponsive GenisteinNLC-dexamethasone-moxifloxacin multi drug delivery system in lens capsule bag to prevent complications after cataract surgery.

Project description:Cataract surgery is the most common intraocular procedure. To decrease postsurgical inflammation, prevent infection and reduce the incidence of secondary cataract, we built a temperature-sensitive drug delivery system carrying dexamethasone, moxifloxacin and genistein nanostructured lipid carrier (GenNLC) modified by mPEG-PLA based on F127/F68 as hydrogel. Characterizations and release profiles of the drug delivery system were studied. In vitro functions were detected by CCK-8 test, immunofluorescence, wound-healing assay, real time-PCR and western blotting. The size of GenNLCs was 39.47 ± 0.69 nm in average with surface charges of - 4.32 ± 0.84 mV. The hydrogel gelation temperature and time were 32 °C, 20 s with a viscosity, hardness, adhesiveness and stringiness of 6.135 Pa.s, 54.0 g, 22.0 g, and 3.24 mm, respectively. Transmittance of the gel-release medium was above 90% (93.44 ± 0.33% to 100%) at range of 430 nm to 800 nm. Moxifloxacin released completely within 10 days. Fifty percent of dexamethasone released at a constant rate in the first week, and then released sustainably with a tapering down rate until day 30. Genistein released slowly but persistently with a cumulative release of 63% at day 40. The thermoresponsive hydrogel inhibited the proliferation, migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of SRA 01/04 cells, which were confirmed by testing CCK-8, wound-healing assay, western blot, real time-PCR (RT-PCR) and immunofluorescence. These results support this intracameral thermoresponsive in situ multi-drug delivery system with programmed release amounts and release profiles to cut down the need of eye drops for preventing inflammation or infection and to reduce posterior capsular opacification following cataract surgery.

Posterior Capsule Opacification after Cataract Surgery via Implantation with Hydrophobic Acrylic Lens Compared with Silicone Intraocular Lens: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Project description:Hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) is the most popular material in cataract surgery. Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is a long-term complication of cataract surgery. It can impair vision and adversely affect the prognosis of IOL delamination. The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to provide an updated evaluation of long-term complications and visual function after implantation with hydrophobic acrylic and silicone intraocular lenses. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched from January 2000 until March 2021. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and retrospective studies were finally included. The main outcomes were PCO value and neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd : YAG) capsulotomy rate. Subgroup analysis was performed to compare hydrophobic acrylic and silicone IOLs during the follow-up period. Sensitivity analysis was also performed. The meta-analysis included a total of 17 studies. When the follow-up period was considered, the results of the analysis revealed higher PCO value (Group 3: standardized mean difference (SMD), -0.59; 95% confidence interval (CI), -0.90 to -0.28) and Nd : YAG capsulotomy rate (Group 3: risk ratio (RR), 0.60; 95% CI, 0.40-0.89) for hydrophobic acrylic IOLs than silicone IOLs during a long-term (≥6 years) follow-up. In conclusion, both the PCO value and the Nd : YAG capsulotomy rates were higher in hydrophobic acrylic IOLs group than the silicone IOLs group at long-term use (more than 6 years) after implantation.

Comparison of hydrophobic and hydrophilic intraocular lens in preventing posterior capsule opacification after cataract surgery: An updated meta-analysis.

Project description:BackgroundPosterior capsular opacification (PCO) is a common long-term complication of cataract surgery. Intraocular lens design and material have been implicated in influencing the development of PCO. This study evaluated the association of hydrophobic and hydrophilic intraocular lenses on preventing PCO.MethodsMedline, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases were searched until August 3, 2016, using the following search terms: cataract, posterior capsule opacification, and intraocular lens. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), retrospective, and cohort studies.ResultsEleven studies were included in the study with a total of 889 eyes/patients. The overall analysis revealed that hydrophobic intraocular lenses were associated with lower Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy rates than hydrophilic lenses [odds ratio (OR)?=?0.38, 95% confidence interval (95% CI)?=?0.16-0.91, P?=?.029]. Hydrophobic intraocular lenses were also associated with lower subjective PCO score (diff. in means: -1.32, 95% CI?=?-2.39 to -0.25, P?=?.015) and estimated PCO score (diff. in means: -2.23; 95% CI, -3.80 to -0.68, P?=?.005) as compared with hydrophilic lenses. Objective PCO score was similar between lens types. (diff. in means: -0.075; 95% CI, -0.18 to 0.035; P?=?.182). Pooled analysis found that visual acuity was similar between hydrophobic and hydrophilic intraocular lenses (diff. in means: -0.016; 95% CI, -0.041 to 0.009, P?=?.208).ConclusionIn general, PCO scores and the rate of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy were influenced by intraocular lens biomaterial. Lens made of hydrophobic biomaterial were overall superior in lowering the PCO score and the Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy rate, but not visual acuity.

Incidence of Intraocular Lens Exchange after Cataract 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).

Lens Epithelial Cells Initiate an Inflammatory Response Following Cataract Surgery.

Project description:PurposeLens epithelial cell (LEC) conversion to myofibroblast is responsible for fibrotic cataract surgery complications including posterior capsular opacification. While transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling is important, the mechanisms by which the TGFβ pathway is activated post cataract surgery (PCS) are not well understood.MethodsRNA-seq was performed on LECs obtained from a mouse cataract surgery model at the time of surgery and 24 hours later. Bioinformatic analysis was performed with iPathwayGuide. Expression dynamics were determined by immunofluorescence.ResultsThe LEC transcriptome is massively altered by 24 hours PCS. The differentially expressed genes included those important for lens biology, and fibrotic markers. However, the most dramatic changes were in the expression of genes regulating the innate immune response, with the top three altered genes exhibiting greater than 1000-fold upregulation. Immunolocalization revealed that CXCL1, S100a9, CSF3, COX-2, CCL2, LCN2, and HMOX1 protein levels upregulate in LECs between 1 hour and 6 hours PCS and peak at 24 hours PCS, while their levels sharply attenuate by 3 days PCS. This massive upregulation of known inflammatory mediators precedes the infiltration of neutrophils into the eye at 18 hours PCS, the upregulation of canonical TGFβ signaling at 48 hours PCS, and the infiltration of macrophages at 3 days PCS.ConclusionsThese data demonstrate that LECs produce proinflammatory cytokines immediately following lens injury that could drive postsurgical flare, and suggest that inflammation may be a major player in the onset of lens-associated fibrotic disease PCS.

Determinants of intraocular lens tilt and decentration after cataract surgery.

Project description:BackgroundTo identify the main determinants of intraocular lens (IOL) tilt and decentration after cataract surgery using a novel anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) method.MethodsFifty-six patients who underwent phacoemulsification with IOL implantation in one eye were continuously enrolled in this cohort study. Axial length (AL) was measured with IOL Master 700. The tilt and decentration of patients' preoperative crystalline lenses and postoperative IOLs, as well as crystalline lens thickness (LT), were measured using AS-OCT before surgery and 1 week after surgery.ResultsThe mean tilt and decentration of the patients' preoperative crystalline lenses were 4.90°±1.81° and 0.21±0.02 mm, and the mean tilt and decentration of IOLs were 4.75°±1.66° and 0.21±0.02 mm, respectively. There were no significant differences in magnitude, direction of tilt, or decentration between crystalline lenses and IOLs. The strongest determinant of IOL tilt was preoperative crystalline lens tilt (R2=0.512, P<0.001), followed by AL (R2=0.154, P=0.003). Additionally, crystalline lens decentration and AL explained 54.6% of the variability in IOL decentration. AL was the factor most highly associated with IOL decentration (R2=0.332, P<0.001), rather than crystalline lens decentration (R2=0.214, P<0.001).ConclusionsThe position of the preoperative crystalline lens and AL were the critical determinants of IOL tilt and decentration. The tilt and decentration of IOLs will be greater in patients with larger tilt and decentration of crystalline lenses, or shorter and longer AL.

Myo/Nog cells are present in the ciliary processes, on the zonule of Zinn and posterior capsule of the lens following cataract surgery.

Project description:Myo/Nog cells, named for their expression of MyoD and noggin, enter the eye during early stages of embryonic development. Their release of noggin is critical for normal morphogenesis of the lens and retina. Myo/Nog cells are also present in adult eyes. Single nucleated skeletal muscle cells designated as myofibroblasts arise from Myo/Nog cells in cultures of lens tissue. In this report we document the presence of Myo/Nog cells in the lens, ciliary body and on the zonule of Zinn in mice, rabbits and humans. Myo/Nog cells were rare in all three structures. Their prevalence increased in the lens and ciliary body of rabbits 24 h following cataract surgery. Rabbits developed posterior capsule opacification (PCO) within one month of surgery. The number of Myo/Nog cells continued to be elevated in the lens and ciliary body. Myo/Nog cells containing alpha smooth muscle actin and striated muscle myosin were present on the posterior capsule and overlaid deformations in the capsule. Myo/Nog cells also were present on the zonule fibers and external surface of the posterior capsule. These findings suggest that Myo/Nog contribute to PCO and may use the zonule fibers to migrate between the ciliary processes and lens.

Intraocular lens-sling technique: A safe approach for lens implantation in complicated cataract surgery and secondary intraocular lens implantation.

Project description:Among 20 million cataract surgeries being performed worldwide every year, approximately 5% are being complicated by posterior capsule rent or zonular dialysis. Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in such cases with intraoperative complications is quite challenging. Our next course of action is to place the IOL in the ciliary sulcus, however, there is a risk of IOL drop into the vitreous in cases of inadequate support. We have described a novel idea of using a suture material through the dialling hole of a three-piece rigid IOL which can be used as a leash to reduce the risk of IOL drop during implantation in such cases. This technique could also be used during sutureless scleral fixated IOL and retro-pupillary iris claw lens implantation. We found that in 90 consecutive patients where this technique was used, there was no incidence of IOL drop or retinal detachment.
