This meta-analysis found pars plana vitrectomy for scleral-fixated IOLs may reduce retinal detachment but increase IOL capture compared to anterior vitrectomy, with similar visual outcomes.

Yuma Masaki, Jujo Tatsuya, Sato Keiji et al.

This study found longer iris length is a significant risk factor for reverse pupillary block after intraocular lens fixation surgery, aiding surgical planning and patient counseling.

Fabian Ekkehard, Janeková Andrea, de Arriba Palomero Pablo et al.

This study found Z-HYALCOAT non-inferior to HEALON EndoCoat for cataract surgery, showing similar IOP spikes, endothelial cell loss, and overall safety. This offers clinicians another comparable OVD option.

Chalam Kakarla V, Paredes Alfredo A, Cheng Anny M S et al.

This study found 25.6% FA-detected CME after Akreos AO60 IOL scleral fixation, often subclinical and linked to transient hypotension. Clinical relevance: monitor IOP and use multimodal imaging for early detection.

Mendoza-Moreira Angi Lizbeth, Stingl Julia V, Wolfrum Peter et al.

This study found Paul and Ahmed glaucoma implants similarly reduced eye pressure and were safe in children with glaucoma after cataract surgery, offering comparable treatment options.

Durmus Irem, Yediyildiz Merve Bulun, Yilmaz Hulya Ak et al.

Steep Trendelenburg position significantly elevates intraocular pressure during laparoscopic surgery, particularly in patients with higher BMI. This highlights the need for strategies to mitigate ocular risks in susceptible individuals.

Stahl Erin D, Sutherland Desirae R, Repka Michael X et al.

This study found that children undergoing lensectomy for traumatic cataracts rarely achieve age-normal vision, and nearly half of pseudophakic eyes require further surgery for visual axis opacification, necessitating close monitoring.

Saeki Tadashiro, Koutari Sawako, Hayashi Takahiko et al.

This study found a modified Yamane technique for scleral IOL fixation yielded good outcomes and stable refractive predictability, making it easier to master.

Ahmed Yasmeen, Erichsen Jesper Høiberg, Ahmadzadeh Afrouz et al.

This study compared inflammation and macular thickness after trabeculectomy vs. phacoemulsification. Both procedures caused similar early inflammation, but phacoemulsification led to a significantly greater and more persistent increase in macular thickness.

Nudleman Sebastian, Feiner Ella R, Affeldt Stella et al.

A 25-gauge needle effectively reopens closed iridotomies in aphakic, silicone oil-filled eyes, immediately lowering pressure and offering a simple, office-based solution for pupillary block.

Taloni Andrea, Colliardo Paolo, Taloni Maurizio et al.

This 50-year study of modified osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (MOOKP) found excellent long-term anatomical and functional survival, significantly improving vision in patients with severe corneal blindness, highlighting its durable efficacy.

Jiang Guohua, Lin Yuan, Chen Yan et al.

This study found that implanting a foldable capsular vitreous body 2-3 months after initial silicone oil tamponade for severe ocular trauma reduces complications and improves outcomes, guiding optimal surgical timing.

Gallo Afflitto Gabriele, Fabozzi Lorenzo, Palmieri Filomena et al.

PPV increases OHT/glaucoma risk, especially in pseudophakic eyes (3x OHT, 12x glaucoma odds). This highlights lens status as a key risk modifier for surgical planning and monitoring.

Chee Soon-Phaik, Chan Nicole Shu-Wen, Lim Jia Xu

This study found eye rubbing is strongly linked to out-of-the-bag IOL dislocations in "dead bag syndrome," causing more severe complications. Counseling patients to avoid rubbing is crucial.

Qiu ChunTing, Zhang Ting, Wang Qin et al.

This study found Connexin 36 gap junctions mediate retinal ganglion cell death after corneal alkali burns. Blocking Cx36 with a drug (MFA) or genetic knockout protected these cells, suggesting a neuroprotective therapeutic target.
