I write to present the results of a comparative study of clinical outcomes obtained with two different types of tinted intraocular lenses (IOLs), yellow-vs violet-tinted IOLs. IOLs containing a yellow chromophore that filters simultaneously ultra violet (UV) and blue light were developed several years ago in the attempt of avoiding that blue and violet visible light reached the retina in the pseudophakic eye.展开更多

The study included 54 eyes(54 cases) with a manifest refraction spherical equivalent(MRSE) of-4.99±1.45 D. They were divided into two groups: 27 eyes with axial length of 24-26 mm in Group A, and 27 eyes with axial length >26 mm in Group B. All subjects enrolled in this study were examined with the Lenstar 900 before and 6 mo after SMILE including measurements of axial length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth(ACD). RESULTS: The prediction of equivalent IOL power of the two groups was more stable for the Barrett True-K formula, especially in long axial length eyes(Group B). The respective percentages for the SRK/T, Holladay 1, Haigis, and Barrett True-K formulas were 7.4%, 7.4%, 85.19%, and 88.89% for a margin of error within 0.5 D;25.92%, 51.84%, 100%, and 100% for a margin of error within 1.0 D in Group A;33.33%, 40.74%, 44.44%, and 81.48% for a margin of error within 0.5 D;and 44.44%, 59.26%, 66.66%, and 92.59% for a margin of error within 1.0 D in Group B. The respective percentages for Barrett True-K formulas were 100% for a margin of error within 2.0 D in Group B.CONCLUSION: Theoretically, the Barrett True-K formula provides more stable predictions than other formulas for cataract eyes after SMILE.展开更多

Purpose: To compare Y-shaped intra-scleral fixation of a posterior chamber IOL with retro pupillary fixation of an iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL) for Aphakic eyes without sufficient capsular support as respects safety, visual recovery and complications of both methods. Patients and Methods: One hundred Aphakic eyes were arbitrarily distributed between two groups. Group A included 50 eyes treated with retropupillary fixation of iris claw lens and group B included 50 eyes treated with Y-shaped intra-scleral fixation technique. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data were analysed including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), surgical time, intraoperative problems, IOL malposition and postoperative complications. Following up on patients was carried out for at least six months. Results: The mean duration of surgery was 21 ± 5.3 min in group A and was 53.4 ± 6.9 min in group B (p-value 0.05). IOL tilt was found in 0 (0%) eyes in group A and in 5 (10%) eyes in group B (p 0.05). Conclusion: The results of our study indicated that both methods are satisfactory in correcting aphakia without sufficient capsular support as regards postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA);however the surgical technique of retropupillary iris claw lens is easier, shorter, with low intra- and postoperative complications and safer than those used for intra-scleral fixation of IOL. But for eyes which lack both iris and capsular support, a scleral fixation of a posterior chamber IOL remains the only option.展开更多

Patients were followed for up to 6 months. Measured parameters were uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected (UIVA) and distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity at 80 cm and 66 cm (DCI80VA, DCI66VA) subjective refraction, defocus curve, tolerance of cylinder induction, and contrast sensitivity. The data from all implanted eyes (all-eyes) and a subset only including the first eye implanted for each patient were analysed. <strong>Results:</strong> The mean manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) decreased from 1.05 D pre-operatively to ?0.15 D at the 4 - 6 month assessment, with 80.6% of eyes within ±0.50 D of emmetropia. At the final follow-up, mean (SD) monocular CDVA was ?0.06 (0.04) logMAR, DCI80VA was 0.18 (0.08) logMAR and DCI66VA was 0.27 (0.13) logMAR. Despite a cylinder induction of ?0.50 D, uncorrected distance visual acuity of 0.02 logMAR was still achieved. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The ISOPURE intraocular lens provides excellent distance corrected visual acuity for far and intermediate distances along with high contrast sensitivity and good tolerance of residual refractive cylinder.展开更多

文摘AIM:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of V4 c implantable collamer lens(Hole ICL) implantation with regard to the optical quality assessed according to different degrees of decentering.METHODS:This included 49 eyes that received conventional ICL and 94 eyes that received Hole ICL.The eyes that received Hole ICL were divided into three groups according to the degree of decentering:group 1,central hole within 1 hole diameter(HD) from the pupil center;group 2,central hole within 1 HD to 2 HD;and group 3,central hole within 2 HD to 3 HD.Visual acuity(VA),intraocular pressure(IOP),and spherical equivalent(SE) values were assessed at 1wk,1 and 3mo after surgery.The ocular modulation transfer function,Strehl ratio,objective scattering index,and higher order aberrations(HOAs) were measured for 4-mm pupils at 3mo after surgery.RESULTS:There were no significant differences in VA,IOP,and SE among the conventional and Hole ICL groups.With regard to HOAs,values for coma and spherical aberrations showed no differences.The total HOA and trefoil values were significantly higher in group 2 than in group 1(P=0.02,0.03,respectively).There were no significant differences among groups with regard to other optical quality parameter at 3mo after surgery.CONCLUSION:Our results suggest that Hole ICL implantation provides satisfactory visual quality that is equivalent to that provided by conventional ICL,regardless of the presence of central hole and degree of decentering.
文摘AIM: To compare the Barrett True-K formula with other formulas integrated in Lenstar 900 to predict intraocular lens(IOL) power after small-incision lenticule extraction(SMILE).METHODS: A theoretical prospective study was performed to predict the ratio of equivalent IOL power before and after SMILE using the SRK/T(Sanders, Retzlaff, Kraff/theoretical), Holladay 1, Haigis, and Barrett True-K formulas and compare the stability of their predictions. The study included 54 eyes(54 cases) with a manifest refraction spherical equivalent(MRSE) of-4.99±1.45 D. They were divided into two groups: 27 eyes with axial length of 24-26 mm in Group A, and 27 eyes with axial length >26 mm in Group B. All subjects enrolled in this study were examined with the Lenstar 900 before and 6 mo after SMILE including measurements of axial length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth(ACD). RESULTS: The prediction of equivalent IOL power of the two groups was more stable for the Barrett True-K formula, especially in long axial length eyes(Group B). The respective percentages for the SRK/T, Holladay 1, Haigis, and Barrett True-K formulas were 7.4%, 7.4%, 85.19%, and 88.89% for a margin of error within 0.5 D;25.92%, 51.84%, 100%, and 100% for a margin of error within 1.0 D in Group A;33.33%, 40.74%, 44.44%, and 81.48% for a margin of error within 0.5 D;and 44.44%, 59.26%, 66.66%, and 92.59% for a margin of error within 1.0 D in Group B. The respective percentages for Barrett True-K formulas were 100% for a margin of error within 2.0 D in Group B.CONCLUSION: Theoretically, the Barrett True-K formula provides more stable predictions than other formulas for cataract eyes after SMILE.

文摘Background:The commonly used intraocular lens(IOL)implantation modalities when there is a rent in a posterior capsule or lack of posterior capsular support includes iris fixated IOL,anterior chamber(AC)IOL,sutured and suture less trans-scleral fixated IOL.This work was planned to evaluate the safety and efficacy of trans-scleral glued IOL implantation.Methods:Retrospective study was undertaken with 28 patients of glued IOL fixation,performed by a single surgeon over a period of 4 years.Relevant pre-operative and post-operative data including visual acuity,intraocular pressures,associated ocular conditions and complications were collected and statistically analyzed.Results:The mean age of males in our study group was 39.1±4.6 years and mean age of females were 37.9±7.5 years.Glued IOL was implanted in 13 eyes with traumatic cataract with subluxation of 46.4%.The most common associated ocular condition was found to be a penetrating ocular trauma with corneal tear in three patients(10.6%).The mean pre-operative and post-operative Log MAR acuity was found to be 1.18 and 0.55 respectively,which was found to be statically significant with P value of 0.00.Twenty five out of 28 patients(89%)of the study population had no postoperative complications.Conclusions:Glued IOL implantation technique has 89%of success rate and statistically significant improvement in visual acuity with no significant change in intraocular pressure.
文摘Purpose: To summarize the clinical experience of 300 cases using the Sapphire unfloder intraocular lens (IOL) injection system.Methods: After the standard phacoemulsification, an AR40e IOL was implanted using the Sapphire Unfolder. The involved problems during and after the operation were observed and analyzed.Results:The complications occurred during the operation including the crack at the haptic-optic junction in 2 cases, slight kink in the haptic in 5 cases, IOL clamp into the cartridge in 2 cases, posterior capsular rupture in 2 cases and endothelium damage in the central small area in 4 cases. All the patients recovered successfully with IOLs in good position.Conclusion: IOL implantation with the Sapphire Unfolder led to no serious complications and got the satisfactory results.
文摘Background:Understanding factors that contribute to posterior capsular opacification(PCO)development is a significant public concern as treatment can lead to complications.In order to prevent PCO,a better understanding of intraocular lens(IOL)characteristics,including design and material,and patient interaction is required.Herein,we performed a retrospective multivariable analysis to determine which factors(IOL and patient based)were least likely to result in PCO.Methods:One hundred eighty post-mortem eyes with implanted IOLs were collected from the Minnesota Eye Bank,along with clinical history,including date of cataract surgery and IOL model number.The capsular bag(CB)with the IOL implant was removed from all eyes to obtain digital images.PCO outcome was quantified on CB images using an objective,automated custom image analyzer(Medical Parachute Automated Detector Opacification Software).The software measured intensity and area of the opacification within the IOL optic edge,intra-optic edge(IOE=intensity/area),and in Soemmering’s ring(SR=intensity/area).Epidemiologic analysis assessed which IOL characteristics and patient-related factors correlated with PCO.IOL factors included material,edge design,lens filter,company,IOL model,decentration and time from cataract surgery to death.Patient factors included sex,age and diabetes,among others.Results:Multivariate analyses showed non-diabetic patients had less PCO(P=0.05).Individuals 50-80 years old compared to 80+had lower SR PCO(P=0.04).Non-blue light filter IOLs had lower SR and IOE PCO compared to filter IOLs(P=0.03,0.001).Square and frosted optic edge design had lower SR and IOE PCO rates compared to OptiEdge and round optic edge design(P=0.002,0.02).The IOL model that had the least PCO was the ZA9003 model,but this was only significant for SR and not IOE PCO(P=0.04).Adjusting for patient-factors,IOL lens model was no longer a confounding factor for PCO.Patients with an IOL implanted for<7 years had lower SR PCO,whereas lower IOE PCO was only seen in implants<4 years old(P=0.0001,0.04).Conclusions:In order to generate a lens that does not develop PCO,it is critical to understand the IOL-and patient-related factors that lead to PCO development.Based on our data,the most susceptible patients are elderly and diabetic,and it may be preferable to implant a square and frosted edge lens without blue-light filtering in this cohort.
