Purpose. To evaluate the outcomes and safety of a minimally invasive technique for sutured IOL scleral fixation in case of compromised capsular and iris support. Materials and Methods. In this retrospective study, we explain our mini-invasive technique and assess the outcomes in terms of visual acuity, pre- or postoperative complications, and IOL position (Sensar AR40e, AMO) in a case series of three patients. Results. The expected best corrected visual acuity could be achieved after one month. Surgeries were uneventful with a stable eye. No postoperative complications occurred except for one patient who had a conjunctival disinsertion. Neither postoperative hypotony nor raised IOP was found. Additionally, no patient experienced corneal edema at one week control, IOL dislocation, vitreous hemorrhage, or new pupil’s irregularity. Conclusions. In conclusion, each scleral technique has its own advantages and its inherent postoperative complications. To date, there is no evidence of superiority of any single technique. By improving our scleral sutured lens techniques, we could improve peroperative ocular stability, potentially decrease postoperative complication rate, and offer a rapid recovery with a stable visual acuity within a month.

AbstractObjective:This case report presents our experience of endoscopic transnasal management of medial intra- and extraconal lesions.Case report:An endoscopic transnasal approach to intra-orbital lesions was used for nine patients. Four patients had intraconal lesions and five had lesions in the extraconal space. Post-operatively, seven patients reported an improvement in visual acuity and two reported stable vision. There were no complications of cerebrospinal leakage or diplopia.Conclusion:This case series demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of an endoscopic transnasal approach to managing intraconal and extraconal lesions. This minimally invasive technique should be considered a valid alternative for accessing orbital tumours, particularly those located in the medial compartment.

Background: To describe the use of intracameral recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) in the treatment of severe fibrinous reactions in toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) after cataract surgery. Methods: A case series of 59 eyes of 59 patients with severe fibrinous anterior chamber reaction following cataract surgery who received intracameral r-tPA (25 µg/0.1 ml). The main outcome measures after intracameral r-tPA were the incidence of complete fibrinolysis, time of maximal effect, visual acuity, and complications. Results: Severe fibrinous reactions appeared 11.5 ± 5.3 days after cataract surgery. Fibrinolysis was observed 2.33 ± 2.70 days after rtPA use and 36 eyes (61%) exhibited resolution of the fibrin by the end of the first day following injection ( p < 0.001). Transient corneal edema observed at 1-day after injection was the only complication reported during the injection of r-tPA or at follow-up. Eight eyes (13.6%) required a second r-tPA injection. Best-corrected visual acuity improved from 0.88 ± 0.67 logMAR units before rtPA injection to 0.48 ± 0.49 logMAR units at 1-month ( p < 0.001). Conclusions: The application of r-tPA was a quick and efficacious therapeutic approach for the management of severe fibrinous reactions in TASS after cataract surgery. In a clinical setting, intracameral r-tPA may be useful when rapid visual recovery is needed.

Aim: to assess visual outcome and complications associated with SFIOL implantation in traumatic lens subluxation/ dislocation cases. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 45 patients who were managed for traumatic dislocation/subluxation of clear or cataractous lenses from June 2019 to July 2020 in a Krishna hospital, Karad, Satara. All cases underwent anterior vitrectomy/3 port pars plana vitrectomy + removal of lens and ab externo 2 point scleral fixation with rigid or foldable sfiol. In posteriorly dislocated/subluxated lens, vitrectomy was done and the lens was removed using pick forceps and retrieved by hand shake technique. In anteriorly dislocated cataractous lens, the lens was removed through the tunnel incision. Results: Majority of the patients were between 55-65 years of age with male pre-ponderance (73.3%).Out of 45 cases, 21 cases (46.6%) were traumatic dislocated lens and 24 cases (53.3%) were traumatic subluxated lens. The mean preoperative BCVA was 0.13 ± 0.24 logMAR, which improved 0.39 ± 0.366 logMAR postoperatively (P <0.0001 ).Preoperatively BCVA in logMAR in 39 cases (86.6%) was 0.3 or better, 6 cases (13.3%) was 0.3 to 1.0 . Postoperatively BCVA in logMAR in 21 cases (46.67%) was 0.3 or better, 24 cases (53.3%) was 0.3 to 1. P-value is 0.00057 which is significant. Early postoperative complications noted were raised intraocular pressure in 12 cases (26.6%), corneal edema in 9 cases (20%), vitreous hemorrhage in 8 cases (17.7%)  and hypotony in 3 cases (6.67%).Late postoperative complications were persistent elevation of intraocular pressure in 10 cases (22.2%), cystoid macular edema in 3 cases (6.67%), epiretinal membrane in 3 cases (6.67%). Conclusion: In every horrendous case, long haul follow-up is needed to distinguish confusions and start treatment at the most punctual.

Ocular Injuries

INTRODUCTION: The study describes ocular injuries caused by airsoft guns pellets, type of these injuries and their incidence in different age groups. METHODS: This is a retrospective review of medical charts of patients who were hospitalized due to airsoft guns ocular injuries in ten-year period (from 2000 to 2009). Patient?s age, gender, duration of hospitalization, type of treatment and initial and final visual acuity were analyzed. RESULTS: Overall 92 patients with ocular injuries caused by airsoft gun pellets were hospitalized in tenyear period. In all patients only one eye was injured and there were 72 (78.3%) male patients. Injuries involved ocular adnexa, anterior and posterior segment of the eye. On initial examination 41 (44.6%) patients were presented with subconjunctival hemorrhages, 42 (45.6%) with corneal abrasion, 42 (45.6%) patients had corneal edema, 6 (6.5%) had traumatic mydriasis, 90 (97.8%) patients exhibited hyphema, 10 (10.9%) iridodialysis, in 27 (29.3%) patients high intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured, one patient had subluxation of intraocular lens (IOL) and one patient had traumatic cataract. Posterior segment findings included vitreous hemorrhage in 3 (3.3%) patients, retinal hemorrhage in 15 (16.3%) patients, retinal edema in 35 (38.0%) patients and one patient had globe rupture. Average duration of hospitalization was 5.7 days (range from 1 to 18 days). Three patients (3.3%) required eye surgery, eight patients (8.7%) had anterior chamber washout while rest of the patients were conservatively managed. Visual acuity at hospital release was significantly improved comparing to initial visual acuity, ranging from counting fingers at 1 meter to 20/60 in 7 (8.6%) patients, from 20/50 to 20/30 in 13 (16.0%) patients and from 20/25 to 20/20 in 61 (75.3%) patients. In 11 patients testing the visual acuity was not possible because of their young age. CONCLUSION: Injuries attributed to airsoft guns were confined mostly to anterior segment. There was also high percentage of severe posterior segment trauma requiring hospital admission. The most important factors in preventing such injuries are restricting access to airsoft guns, especially to minors, as well as mandatory use of protective equipment such as protective eyeglasses.

Abstract Background To report a modified surgical technique for intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation with fewer anterior segment manipulations in eyes lacking sufficient capsule support. Methods Eyes from 14 patients who underwent 27-gauge needle-guided intrascleral IOL fixation with built-in 8-0 absorbable sutures were studied. The 8-0 absorbable sutures were inserted into 27-gauge round needles and used to create angled sclerotomies at the 4 o’clock and 10 o’clock positions under the scleral flap. The sutures were used to tie knots at the ends of the haptics and guide haptic externalization through sclerotomy. After externalization, a sufficient flange was created at the end of the haptics and fixed under the scleral flaps. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), previous surgery history, and complications were determined. Results Fourteen cases were analyzed. The majority of eyes exhibited an improvement in BCVA after surgery. When comparing the last follow-up to preoperative visual acuity, the mean change in BCVA was + 26.32 letters (p=0.011). Postoperative complications included postoperative hypotony in 3 eyes, ocular hypertension in 2 eyes. No postoperative cystoid macular edema, vitreous hemorrhage, IOL dislocation, or endophthalmitis was observed. Conclusions The 27-gauge needle-guided intrascleral IOL fixation technique with built-in 8-0 absorbable sutures is easy to manipulate with fewer anterior chamber manipulations and achieves both anatomical and optical stability.

Purpose: The authors aim to describe the visual outcomes and postoperative complications of concurrent pars plana vitrectomy and scleral-fixated intraocular lens (IOL) placement using Gore-Tex suture. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was performed on 27 eyes of 27 patients undergoing concurrent pars plana vitrectomy and scleral-fixated IOL with Gore-Tex suture. Outcome measures were change in preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, final manifest refraction, and incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results: The mean age was 69.2 ± 11.3 years; there were 16 male patients (59%). The duration of follow-up ranged from 33 to 576 days with a mean of 200 ± 143 days. All patients received Bausch + Lomb Akreos AO60 IOL. The overall mean best-corrected visual acuity in Snellen equivalent improved from 20/276 preoperatively to 20/44 postoperatively ( P < .001). The mean postoperative manifest spherical equivalent refraction was –0.35 ± 1.34 diopters (D). Seventy-five percent of eyes were ± 1.0 D of target refraction. Postoperative complications included corneal edema (26.0%), ocular hypertension (25.9%), hypotony (7.4%), cystoid macular edema (7.4%), vitreous hemorrhage (7.4%), and hyphema (3.7%). No cases of suture breakage, IOL dislocation, retinal detachment, or uveitis–glaucoma–hyphema syndrome were identified. Conclusions: The use of Gore-Tex suture for posterior chamber IOL fixation resulted in favorable outcomes. No suture-related complications occurred during the follow-up period. Final refraction in this setting is typically within ± 1.0 D of target.

Scleral Fixated Intraocular Lens

Introduction: In the absence of capsular support, anterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL), iris fixated IOL and sutured scleral fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) implantation have been performed for many years. Recently sutureless glued SFIOL have been used as a primary or secondary procedure to correct aphakia. In this study we have used sutureless and glueless technique of SFIOL implantation. Methodology: An interventional case series was conducted. Aphakic patients without capsular support, sub-luxated lens (>180°), dislocated lens and dislocated IOL were the inclusion criteria. The patients with hazy cornea, non-dilating pupil, macular scar and glaucoma were not enrolled in the study. Results: Of 62 eyes who completed 1 month follow- up, 48 were men and 14 women. There was a significant improvement in uncorrected distance visual acuity after surgery (p<0.001). One month postoperative best corrected distance visual acuity was 6/18 or better in 45 eyes (72.6%). The common early postoperative complications were hypotony, corneal edema. No serious complications such as endophthalmitis and retinal detachment were seen. Conclusion: Our technique of sutureless and glueless SFIOL implantation showed good visual outcome in the absence of serious complications. SFIOL will be the only choice in eyes that have anatomic contraindications like non constricting pupil, large sectoral iridectomy and peripheral anterior synechia in which other types of lens are not suitable.Nepal J Ophthalmol 2016; 8(15): 41-46

Post Operative Complications

Transition to the small incision surgery and the practice of cataract phacoemulsification and femtosecond-guided cataract phacoemulsification have contributed to the reduction of postoperative complications, however, despite this, there are some potentially dangerous sight problems that include infective endophthalmitis, toxic syndrome of the eye anterior segment, intraoperative suprachoroidoid hemorrhage, cystic macular edema, retinal detachment, persistent corneal edema and IOL dislocation. According to the study conducted in the UK, the overall frequency of complications following phacoemulsification was 8.7%. Complications that arise at any stage of the surgical intervention and after it have a negative impact on the immediate and remote functional outcomes of the treatment. Thus, the improvement of surgical treatment of age-related cataracts by studying the features and mechanisms of the development of postoperative edema in the central retinal zone, as well as the development of new methods for predicting this complication, is an urgent problem of ophthalmology. The aim of this study was to determine and differentiate the frequency and dynamics of intraoperative, early and late post-operative complications in various techniques of surgical treatment of age-related cataracts. Materials and methods. 558 patients (558 eyes) with cataracts participated in the examination and treatment. The first group consisted of 298 patients (298 eyes) who underwent standard phacoemulsification, and the second group involved 260 patients (260 eyes) who were performed on femtosecond-guided cataract phacoemulsification. The examination was carried out on the 1 day, and in 1, 3 6 and 12 months after cataract surgery. The use of femtosecond laser can reduce the rate of intraoperative, as well as early and late post-operative complications after the cataract removal.

Postoperative complications included postoperative hypotony in 3 eyes, ocular hypertension in 2 eyes. No cases of postoperative cystoid macular edema (CME), vitreous hemorrhage (VH), IOL dislocation, or endophthalmitis were observed. Conclusions The 27-gauge needle-guided intrascleral IOL fixation technique with built-in 8–0 absorbable sutures is easy to perform with fewer anterior chamber manipulations and achieves both anatomical and optical stability.

Introduction: The results of surgical outcomes of 20 gauge pars plana vitrectomy in Eales’ disease are available in the scientific literature. However, all these studies have been done using the 20 gauge vitrectomy systems and most studies have been conducted in a retrospective manner. Objective: To evaluate the outcomes and safety of 23 gauge vitrectomy in complications of Eales’ disease. Materials and methods: Study design: Consecutive interventional case series. Participants: Seventy-six eyes of 72 nonconsecutive patients undergoing 23-gauge vitrectomy for complications of Eales’ disease were enrolled. The participants were followed up for a minimum of one year. Intervention: The participants underwent a complete demographic, medical and ophthalmic evaluation. A 23-gauge vitrectomy was performed. Endotamponade was used when necessary. Perioperative and postoperative events were recorded. Primary outcome measures were visual acuity and complications arising due to surgery. Results: Indication for surgery was non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage in 89.4% (68/76) and secondary retinal detachment in 10.6% (8). Visual acuity improved from Log Mar 1.80 ± 0.19 units preoperatively to Log Mar 0.47±0.59. Best-corrected visual acuity equivalent to Snellen 6/9 was achieved in 77. 6% of eyes. . Surgical failure was seen in 6.5% cases. Four cases were lost due to progression to neovascular glaucoma and 1 case was lost to severe residual retinal detachment. Iatrogenic portside retinal breaks occurred in 3.9% (3), post-vitrectomy retinal detachment 2.6% ( 2), hypotony 1.3% (1) and cataract in 38.1% (28) cases. Conclusion: 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy in patients with Eales’ disease is a safe and effective technique with acceptable level of risk and complications.
