Intracorneal implantation of a misdirected foldable intraocular lens during phacoemulsification surgery: a case report / Implantação intracorneana de uma lente intraocular dobrável direcionada incorretamente durante cirurgia de facoemulsificação: relato de caso

ABSTRACT A 59-year-old man presented with a unilateral blurring of vision in his left eye. His left eye's visual acuity was hand movements level. He underwent phacoemulsification surgery, and an intrastromal posterior chamber intraocular lens was implanted. The intrastromal intraocular lens was extracted and a new intraocular lens was implanted. Usinge the Snellen chart, the final best-corrected visual acuity was 20/40. With this case report, we wish to emphasize that a single stepwise clear corneal incision merged with wound-assisted intraocular lens injections can result in intraocular lens misdirection into the corneal stroma. As a result, while performing a misdirected intraocular lens removal, we recommend that the wound be carefully constructed.

RESUMO Um homem de 59 anos apresentou embaçamento visual unilateral no olho esquerdo. Sua acuidade visual nesse olho era no nível de movimentos da mão. O paciente havia se submetido a uma cirurgia de facoemulsificação em que foi feita a implantação intraestromal de uma lente intraocular de câmara posterior. Foi feita a extração dessa lente intraestromal intraocular e uma nova lente intraocular foi implantada. A melhor acuidade visual corrigida final foi de 20/40 pela tabela de Snellen. Com este relato de caso, os autores desejam apontar que uma incisão de degrau único em córnea clara, quando combinada com a injeção de uma lente ocular através da incisão, pode levar a um direcionamento incorreto da lente intraocular para dentro do estroma corneano. Portanto, recomenda-se uma construção cuidadosa da incisão ao se remover uma lente intraocular direcionada incorretamente.

Visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and quality of life after bilateral implantation of multifocal diffractive intraocular lens / Acuidade visual, sensibilidade ao contraste e qualidade de vida após implante bilateral de lente intraocular multifocal difrativa

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate visual outcomes, satisfaction, and quality of life of patients assisted in a Medical School hospital by the Brazilian Public Health System, who underwent bilateral diffractive multifocal intraocular lens implantation. Methods: Case series study with intervention, including 20 patients who underwent bilateral implantation of multifocal IOL EyeDiff® (Eyeol UK, Dunstable, UK). Exclusion criteria were corneal astigmatism >1.5 cylindrical diopters, previous ocular surgery or ocular disease, and intra- or postoperative complications. Patients were evaluated one, three, and six months after surgery. Monocular and binocular visual acuity for distance, intermediate and near, under photopic and mesopic conditions, monocular contrast sensitivity under photopic conditions, defocus curve, and quality of life were assessed. Results: Monocular distance-corrected visual acuity was 0.3 logMAR or better and monocular distance-corrected near visual acuity was J3 or better in all eyes under photopic conditions. Binocular distance-corrected near visual acuity was J1 in all cases. Contrast sensitivity was at the minimum level of normality for low and high spatial frequencies and within normal limits for intermediate spatial frequency. The quality of life questionnaire showed a high level of patient satisfaction. Conclusion: Bilateral implantation of the multifocal intraocular lens EyeDiff® provides patients with good visual acuity and quality of life, besides spectacle independence. The visual acuity and contrast sensitivity progressively improved between one and six postoperative months.

A novel Yamane technique modification: Reverse intraocular lens implantation for simplifying trailing haptic insertion

We described a modified Yamane technique for simplifying trailing haptic insertion in aphakia correction. In Yamane intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) implantation technique, trailing haptic implantation is challenging for many surgeons. This modification provides an easier and safer way of trailing haptic insertion into the needle tip and decreases the possibility of bending or breaking the trailing haptic.

Calculation formulas and influence factors of effective lens position / 中华实验眼科杂志

Cataract extraction is often combined with the implantation of intraocular lens (IOL) with the diopter matching the operated eye to restore optimal visual function after surgery.However, there are often errors between the actual refractive power of the operated eye and the predicted value.One of the major causes of postoperative refractive error is the change in IOL position compared with the expected position.In order to improve the accuracy of postoperative refraction prediction, Holladay proposed to introduce the concept of effective lens position (ELP) into the IOL diopter calculation formula.The differences in the parameters and algorithms incorporated in the calculation of ELP lead to differences in the accuracy of IOL calculation formulas.With the application of multi-parameter calculation methods, especially the formula based on the artificial intelligence algorithm, the accuracy of IOL calculation formula has been significantly improved.ELP is also affected by various factors such as differences in ocular anatomy, IOL design and material, and surgical procedures, especially the factors affecting the stability of the capsular bag that increase the difficulty of accurately predicting ELP.Therefore, the changes in postoperative ELP need to be further discussed in order to obtain more accurate postoperative refraction.This article aimed to give a review of the development of calculation formulas and the influencing factors of ELP.

Status changes and influencing factors of intraocular lens implantation into capsule / 中华实验眼科杂志

Objective:To observe the unfolding status of foldable acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) of different materials, designs and refractive powers implanted in the capsular bag during cataract surgery, and to investigate its influence on the IOL implantation procedure.Methods:An observational case series study was conducted.A total of 1 005 patients who underwent routine phacoemulsification and IOL implantation in Shaanxi Eye Hospital from February to August 2021 were enrolled.The status and unfolding time of the leading haptic, optical region, and trailing haptic of the IOL in the capsular bag and the surgeon were recorded in real-time intraoperative video.Of the 1 005 IOL implants, 681 were hydrophobic, 324 hydrophilic, 733 C-loop, 272 plate-haptic, 909 single-piece, 96 three-piece, 620 preloaded, and 385 non-preloaded.The differences in unconventional implantation factors and IOL unfolding time were compared.The factors influencing IOL implantation status were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relevant factors affecting IOL implantation status.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Xi'an People's Hospital (Xi'an Fourth Hospital)(No.20200035). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:There were 14(1.4%) IOLs with unconventional leading haptic status during implantation, including 7 recurved, 4 folded, 2 twisted and 1 straightened.There were 101(10.0%) IOLs with unconventional trailing haptic status during implantation, including 49 stuck in the injector, 40 folded, 10 recurved and 2 broken.There were 22(2.2%) IOLs with overlapped leading and trailing haptic requiring additional separation.There were 4(0.4%) IOLs with reversed optical regions and 2(0.2%) with damaged optical regions.The occurrence rate of unconventional leading haptic status using C-loop IOL was higher than that using plate IOL, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The occurrence rate of unconventional trailing haptic status using hydrophilic, non-preloaded, three-piece, and C-loop IOL was higher than that using hydrophobic, preloaded, single-piece, and plate IOL, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=9.100, 61.400, 81.885, 7.587; all at P<0.05). The 22(2.2%) IOLs with overlapped leading and trailing haptic were hydrophobic.The 4 (0.4%) IOLs with reversed optical region were non-preloaded.The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that IOL material, loading method, design and surgeons were related to the unconventional trailing haptic status in implantation ( OR=9.894, 3.720, 6.810, 1.338; all at P<0.05). The average unfolding time of hydrophobic IOL was 26.12(21.21, 30.91)s, which was significantly longer than 3.03(2.16, 4.49)s of hydrophilic IOL ( Z=-25.603, P<0.05). The average unfolding time of C-loop IOL was 25.53(19.41, 30.25)s, which was significantly longer than 2.70(2.08, 3.69) s of plate IOL ( Z=-23.764, P<0.05). Conclusions:A variety of unconventional statuses of IOL can occur during implantation into the lens capsular bag.The use of hydrophobic, preloaded, single-piece, and plate IOLs can reduce the occurrence of unconventional status.The use of hydrophilic IOLs can reduce the overlap of leading and trailing haptic.The use of preloaded IOLs can reduce the occurrence of IOL optical region reversal.The use of hydrophilic and plate IOLs can shorten the operation time.

Prediction of vault after implantable collamer lens implantation and its research progress / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

Myopia is considered to be a disease occurred under the influence of genetic and environmental factors, and it can only be restored by corrective surgeries. The current surgical methods include laser surgeries and phakic intraocular lens(PIOL)implantation, and PIOL has the advantages of wide range of correction, repeatable procession and small damage to corneal tissue. Furthermore, good visual acuity can be achieved after implantation of intraocular lens. Implantable collamer lens(ICL)is the most common surgical method in this group. The vertical distance between the highest point of the posterior central surface of the implanted lens and the anterior surface of the crystalline lens is called vault. It will cause serious complications if the vault turns out to be abnormal. Up to now, there is no optimal prediction method. This research focuses on vault, discusses the ideal range of postoperative vault, the safety and effectiveness of this surgery, and analyzes the existing prediction methods to provide directions for future clinical research.

Equivalent keratometer reading para cálculo biométrico em córneas assimétricas: série de casos / Equivalent keratometer reading tool for biometric calculation in asymmetric corneas: case series

RESUMO A acurácia do cálculo da lente intraocular não é perfeita, podendo ser comuns erros refrativos pós-operatórios, especialmente em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia refrativa prévia ou na presença de córneas assimétricas. O poder corneano após cirurgia refrativa pode ser medido com maior acurácia utilizando o mapa de poder óptico total na zona central de 4mm, com Orbscan II ou pelo mapa equivalent keratometric reading disponível no pentacam, com medidas centrais de 1,0, 2,0, 3,0 e 4,5mm. O objetivo desta série de casos é demonstrar a abordagem de quatro olhos em condições especiais corneanas, por meio do equivalent keratometric reading do pentacam para mensuração do poder corneano e o utilizando na biometria, em comparação com possíveis resultados obtidos com outras estratégias. Os quatro olhos foram submetidos a procedimentos refrativos prévios, e a lente intraocular escolhida a partir do uso do poder corneano calculado pelo equivalent keratometric reading mostrou excelentes resultados pós-operatórios.

ABSTRACT The accuracy of the intraocular lens calculation is not perfect, and postoperative refractive errors are common, especially in patients who have undergone previous refractive surgery or in presence of asymmetric corneas. Corneal power after refractive surgery can be more accurately measured using the total optical power map in the 4-mm central zone, by means of Orbscan II or equivalent keratometric reading map available on pentacam, with central measurements of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.5 mm. The purpose of this case series is to demonstrate four approaches performed in special corneal conditions, using pentacam equivalent keratometric reading to measure corneal power and biometrics, and comparing with possible results obtained with other strategies. The four eyes were submitted to previous refractive procedures, and the intraocular lens chosen from the use of the corneal power calculated by equivalent keratometric reading showed excellent postoperative results.

Influencing factors of the early vault after phakic posterior chamber implantable collamer lens implantation / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

AIM:To observe the early variation trend of the vault after phakic posterior chamber implantable collamer lens/toric implantable collamer lens(ICL/TICL V4c)implantation and analyze the related influencing factors.METHODS:In this retrospective study, a total of 49 patients(98 eyes)who underwent ICL/TICL V4c implantation in the Lanzhou Huaxia Eye Hospital from October 2020 to March 2021 were enrolled. Preoperative ocular biometric parameters were collected, including spherical equivalent(SE), intraocular pressure, axial length, anterior chamber depth(ACD), lens thickness(LT), central corneal thickness, anterior chamber angle(ACA), anterior chamber volume(ACV), white to white corneal diameter(WTW), mean keratometry K1 and K2, and intraoperative implantation size of ICL. The vault was measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography(AS-OCT)at 1, 3d, 1wk and 1mo after surgery. The patients were divided into insufficient vault group(&#x003C;250μm, 12 eyes), normal vault group(250-750μm, 62 eyes)and excessive vault group(&#x003E;750μm, 24 eyes)according to the vault at 1mo after surgery. The factors affecting the postoperative vault were analyzed.RESULTS:The mean vault values at 1 and 3d, 1wk and 1mo after surgery were 591.05±293.44, 599.62±309.78, 592.22±301.49 and 586.69±285.63μm, respectively. There were significant differences in WTW, ACA, ACV, ACD, ICL size and LT at 1mo after surgery(all P&#x003C;0.05). The regression equation of vault at 1mo after surgery was as follows: vault(μm)=-3142.19+388.25×WTW+10.40×ACA-301.63×LT(R=0.674, R2=0.454, adjusted R2=0.436). WTW had the greatest influence on vault at 1mo after surgery(β=0.47, P&#x003C;0.001), followed by LT(β=-0.34, P&#x003C;0.001)and ACA(β=0.17, P=0.047).CONCLUSION:WTW, ACA and LT were the main factors that affected and predicted the vault at 1mo after ICL/TICL V4c implantation.

Clinical application progress of Piggyback intraocular lens implantation / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

@#With the continuous progress and development of modern surgical equipment, the types of intraocular lens and the continuous improvement of people's requirements for visual quality, cataract surgery has been transformed from traditional vision restoration surgery into a high-quality and high-demand refractive surgery. Piggyback intraocular lens implantation was originally a new surgical method for clinicians to implant two or more posterior chamber intraocular lenses in patients' eyes to correct hyperopia or secondary correction refractive errors after cataract surgery. With the birth and promotion of functional lenses in recent years, this surgical method has been applied to the field of refractive cataract surgery, which expanded the application of functional intraocular lens and achieved good postoperative effect. This review discusses the development and current clinical application of Piggyback intraocular lens implantation, and further expounds its development trend in the future.

The astigmatism of the two groups increased at 1,2wk after operation, and obseration group decreased at 1mo after operation(<i>P</i><0.05). Meanwhile, the astigmatism of the observation group was lower than that of the control group(<i>P</i><0.05). At 1mo after operation, the scores of watching TV, reading and writing, and fine operation of the observation group were higher than those of the control group(<i>P</i><0.05). The incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(6% <i>vs </i>22%, <i>P</i><0.05). <p>CONCLUSION:Phacoemulsification and IOL implantation combined with trabeculectomy is markedly effective in the treatment of patients with cataract and glaucoma, which can improve vision and visual quality. Lower intraocular pressure and astigmatism, reduce changes in astigmatism, deepen the central anterior chamber depth, and reduce the incidence of complications.

Analysis on influencing factors of corneal edema after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

@#AIM: To analyze the risk factors of corneal edema after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in patients with cataract. <p>METHODS: The clinical data of 623 patients with cataract(957 eyes)who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in our hospital between March 2018 and September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with corneal edema observed at any time within the first three days after surgery were included in corneal edema group(82 cases, 82 eyes), and patients without corneal edema were enrolled as non-corneal edema group(541 cases, 875 eyes). The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative related indexes of the two groups were collected and included in Logistic regression model to screen the high-risk factors. <p>RESULTS: Logistics regression analysis showed that age(<i>OR</i>=1.162), Emery lens nuclear hardness grading(<i>OR</i>=1.301)and perfusion time(<i>OR</i>=1.172)were independent risk factors for corneal edema after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation, and the anterior chamber depth(<i>OR</i>=0.651)were independent protective factors avoiding occurrence(<i>P</i><0.05).<p>CONCLUSION:The factors involved in corneal edema after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation are complicated in patients with cataract. It is necessary to be vigilant for high-risk patients in clinical practice and take preventive measures during perioperative period so as to promote rapid recovery of prognosis and visual function.

Phacoemulsification combined with CTR implantation in the treatment of high myopia with cataract / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

@#AIM: To explore the efficacy of phacoemulsification combined with capsular tension ring(CTR)implantation in the treatment of patients with high myopia complicated with cataract, and to analyze its safety. <p>METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 186 patients(186 eyes)with high myopia and cataract who underwent phacoemulsification+ intraocular lens(IOL)implantation treatment in our hospital. Among them, 98 cases(98 eyes)were combined with CTR implantation(combined group)and 88 cases(88 eyes)were not combined with CTR implantation(control group). The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA, LogMAR), visual quality \〖root mean square value(RMS)of higher-order aberration(HOA)\〗 and corneal endothelial cell density were recorded in the two groups before surgery and at 1, 3 and 6mo after surgery, and the area of anterior capsular orifice and inclination angle of IOL were evaluated at 1, 3 and 6mo after surgery, and the occurrence of complications such as postoperative anterior capsule opacification, posterior capsule opacification and capsular contraction syndrome were compared between the two groups.<p>RESULTS: There were interaction effects in the BCVA between the two groups(<i>P</i><0.05). The BCVA of the two groups after surgery was decreased compared with that before surgery(<i>P</i><0.05), and the BCVA of combined group after surgery was lower than that of control group(<i>P</i><0.05). There were interaction effects in the total HOA RMS(<i>P</i><0.05), and the total HOA RMS of the two groups after surgery was increased compared with that before surgery(<i>P</i><0.05), and the total HOA RMS after surgery in combined group was lower than that in control group(<i>P</i><0.05). There were interaction effects in the anterior capsular orifice area after surgery between the two groups(<i>P</i><0.05), and the area in the two groups was decreased with the prolongation of postoperative time(<i>P</i><0.05), and the area in combined group at 3 and 6mo after surgery was higher than that in control group(<i>P</i><0.05). The IOL inclination angle of the two groups had interaction effects between the two groups(<i>P</i><0.05), and the angle of the two groups was increased with the prolongation of postoperative time(<i>P</i><0.05), and the angle of combined group at 3 and 6mo after surgery was lower than that of control group(<i>P</i><0.05). The corneal endothelial cell density in the two groups after surgery was lower than that before surgery(<i>P</i><0.05), but there was no interaction effect(<i>P</i> >0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification+ IOL implantation + CTR implantation can improve the visual function of patients with high myopia complicated with cataract, with few postoperative complications and good efficacy and safety.

Phacoemulsification and IOL implantation combined with trabeculectomy in the treatment of age-related cataract complicated with acute PACG / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

@#AIM: To investigate the curative effect of microincision phacoemulsification and ultra-thin artificial lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy in the treatment of age-related cataract complicated with acute primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG). <p>METHODS: Totally 85 elderly cataract patients(85 eyes)with acute PACG admitted between January 2017 and July 2020 were enrolled. According to the operation method, they were divided into study group(46 cases, 46 eyes)and control group(39 cases, 39 eyes). The control group was treated with 1.8mm microincision phacoemulsification and ultra-thin artificial lens implantation, while the study group was treated with trabeculectomy on the basis of the treatment of control group. The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), intraocular pressure, anterior chamber angle width classification, corneal endothelial cell count and surgical complications of the two groups were compared. <p>RESULTS: Compared with the same group before operation, the BCVA(LogMAR)of the two groups was significantly reduced at 1, 3 and 6mo after operation(all <i>P</i><0.05), and the study group had lower LogMAR BCVA than the control group(all <i>P</i><0.05). At 1, 3 and 6mo after operation, intraocular pressure of the two groups was significantly reduced(<i>P</i><0.05), and the study group had lower intraocular pressure than the control group(<i>P</i><0.05). Meanwhile, the proportion of anterior chamber angle width grade NⅠwas increased, and the proportion of grade N Ⅳ was reduced in the two groups(<i>P</i><0.05). The proportion of grade NⅠwas higher in the study group than in the control group(<i>P</i><0.05). No significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of corneal endothelial cell count(<i>P</i>>0.05)and the incidence of complications(28% <i>vs</i> 26%; <i>P</i>>0.05). <p>CONCLUSION: For patients with senile cataract complicated with acute PACG, trabeculectomy based on microincision phacoemulsification and ultra-thin artificial lens implantation can significantly lower intraocular pressure, relieve glaucoma, and reduce visual impairment, with little damage to corneal endothelial cells and few complications. Besides, the clinical effect is marked.
