Aim: To evaluate the retinal light scattering, visual acuity, refraction and subjective satisfaction in patients after implantation of Acrysof IQ PanOptix intraocular lens. Methods: Our group included 32 eyes of 21 patients who underwent cataract surgery or refractive lensectomy with Acrysof IQ PanOptix multifocal intraocular lens implantation at the Ophthalmology Clinic of Faculty Hospital Hradec Králové during the time from September 2015 to December 2017. The observed parameters were visual acuity, subjective refraction, retinal light scattering and patient‘ subjective satisfaction. Preoperative refractive values and visual acuity values were compared with results obtained on day 1, 1 month and at an average of 27 months postoperatively. Subjective satisfaction and degree of light scattering on the retina were evaluated at the end of the follow-up period. Results: Preoperative, uncorrected distant visual acuity improved from an average of 0,51 ± 0,29 (expressed in decimal values) to 0,94 ± 0,10 at the end of the follow-up period. Preoperative best-corrected distance visual acuity improved from an average of 0,95 ± 0,19 to 1,00 ± 0,09 at the end of the follow-up period. The mean value of preoperative uncorrected near visual acuity was 8,29 ± 4,93 of Jaeger charts, the mean value of uncorrected near visual acuity at the end of the follow-up period was 1,00 ± 0 of Jaeger charts. Subjective satisfaction was assessed using a standardized VF-14 questionnaire at least 1 year after surgery (mean follow-up of 27 months). Retinal light scattering was examined using an Oculus C-Quant instrument. The retinal light scattering value in our sample was 1,12 ± 0,19. In only 6 eyes of 4 patients, the resulting value was outside the physiological range used for eyes with lens crystallina Conclusion: The value of light scattering on the retina is a factor affecting the degree of sensitivity to glare after implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses. In our group, we observed a deviation from the physiological range of retinal light scattering in only 6 eyes of 4 patients, but this did not lead to a deterioration in subjective postoperative satisfaction.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in eyes with pre-existing trabeculectomy.Methods: This prospective single-center clinical study evaluated intraocular pressure in 60 eyes of 60 patients who underwent phacoemulsification and implantation of a foldable intraocular lens after a previous successful trabeculectomy. Patients who had a trabeculectomy more than one year prior to the study were included. Intraocular pressure, number of antiglaucoma medications, bleb appearance, and visual acuity were recorded preoperatively, and at each follow-up examination and 12 months after phacoemulsification.Results: The mean intraocular pressure before phacoemulsification was 12.42 mmHg (SD, 4.60 mmHg), which increased to 14.98 mmHg (SD, 4.18 mmHg), 14.47 mmHg (SD, 3.58 mmHg), 15.44 mmHg (SD, 3.60 mmHg), and 15.71 mmHg (SD, 3.47 mmHg) after one, three, six, and 12 months, respectively. At each follow-up visit, the mean IOP was significantly higher than the preoperative value (p < 0.001, p = 0.015, p ≤ 0.001, and p = 0.001 at month one, three, six, and 12, respectively). The mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 0.98 logMAR (SD, 0.44 logMAR) and the mean postoperative best-corrected visual acuity at 12 months was 0.20 logMAR (SD, 0.21 logMAR) [p = 0.0001]. The mean preoperative number of antiglaucoma medications used was 0.57 (SD, 0.63), which increased to 0.65 (SD, 0.63 ), 0.70 (SD, 0.72 ) 0.68, (SD, 0.70), and 0.67 (SD, 0.77 ) at one, three, six, and 12 months, respectively, but there were no statistically significant differences. Bleb size decreased clinically after phacoemulsification. Nineteen of 60 eyes (32%) developed fibrosis of bleb with decreased bleb size.Conclusion: Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation significantly increased intraocular pressure and increased the number of antiglaucoma medications in eyes with pre-existing functioning filtering blebs.

Purpose: To describe the outcome of phacoaspiration with intraocular lens implantation in children with unilateral congenital cataract in the first 4 years of life. Methods: A retrospective chart review of children with visually significant unilateral congenital cataract presenting in the first 4 years of life was done. Children with a minimum postsurgical follow-up of 1 year were included. Outcome measures were mean spherical equivalent, visual axis clarity, visual acuity and complications till the last follow-up. Results: Ninety-three children met the inclusion criteria. The mean age of surgery was 13.23 ± 11.89 months and the mean follow-up period was 24.37 ± 17.35 months. Nearly 40% of children presented during their first year of life. No difference was noted between the subgroups in terms of age ( p = 0.310), sex ( p = 0.475) or laterality ( p = 0.349). Surgical membranectomy was performed in 22 eyes (23.6%) after an average period of 4.85 ± 2.58 months after surgery. One eye underwent piggy back intraocular lens and four eyes underwent intraocular lens exchange after a mean duration of 50 months (range 40–60 months). The mean visual acuity was 0.79 ± 0.11 (log MAR chart). A total of 60.7% of these children ( n = 31) achieved best corrected visual acuity or 20/80 or better. Conclusion: The results of our study suggest that primary intraocular lens implantation in children with unilateral congenital cataract gives good structural and functional results. Besides a meticulous surgery, visual outcome is affected by the time of presentation and postoperative compliance to amblyopia therapy.

Purpose To establish which factors influence visual outcome after penetrating keratoplasty combined with intraocular lens implantation. Methods This retrospective noncomparative clinical interventional case series study included 135 consecutive patients (mean age 70.2 ± 13.6 years) who underwent central penetrating allogenic keratoplasty combined with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, all operated by the same surgeon. There were 79 triple procedures, 33 keratoplasties combined with an exchange of IOL, and 23 penetrating keratoplasties combined with a secondary implantation of a posterior chamber lens. Mean follow-up was 28.3 ± 18.7 months (range 3.3–112 months). Reasons for keratoplasty were herpetic or traumatic corneal scars or defects (46), Fuchs corneal endothelial dystrophy (22), pseudophakic or aphakic bullous keratopathy (49), corneal endothelial decompensation due to other reasons (15), and keratoconus (3). Main outcome measures were postoperative visual acuity and gain in visual acuity. Results Mean postoperative visual acuity and mean gain in visual acuity were 0.33 ± 0.21 (median 0.30) and 0.25 ± 0.20 (median 0.20), respectively. Compared with the preoperative measurements, mean visual acuity increased in 129 patients (129/135, 95.6%). Factors influencing postoperative visual outcome and gain in visual acuity were preoperative visual acuity (p<0.005), reason for keratoplasty (p<0.005), and diameter of the graft (p = 0.046). Postoperative visual outcome was independent of age, sex, right or left eye, presence of diabetes mellitus, preoperative refractive error, length of follow-up, duration of surgery, and preoperative intraocular pressure. Conclusions The most important factors influencing visual outcome after central penetrating allogenic keratoplasty combined with IOL surgery are preoperative visual acuity, graft size, and reason for keratoplasty. Other factors such as age, sex, diabetes mellitus, and preoperative refractive error do not substantially influence postoperative visual outcome.

Purpose:To analyze the visual and refractive outcome of the bioptics procedure combining multifocal intraocular lens implantation and excimer laser surgery in young patients with high hyperopic eyes not suitable for a single surgical procedure.Methods:This retrospective case series included 10 eyes of five patients (age range 18–30 years) with high hyperopia (spherical equivalent +8.51 ± 0.85 diopters (D)). They had been treated with serial multifocal intraocular lens implantation followed 6 weeks later by laser in situ keratomileusis for residual hyperopia. Uncorrected distance visual acuity, uncorrected near visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity, corrected near visual acuity, and manifest refraction were evaluated before surgeries, after multifocal intraocular lens implantation, and 3 months post laser in situ keratomileusis.Results:No patients were lost to follow-up (6 months). The mean spherical equivalent decreased to +2.05 ± 1.33 D after multifocal intraocular lens implantation and to −0.10 ± 0.58 D after the laser in situ keratomileusis procedure. Success of the procedures was determined by uncorrected visual acuity. LogMAR uncorrected distance visual acuity improved by a total of more than six lines from 1.05 ± 0.18 LogMAR to 0.46 ± 0.12 LogMAR post multifocal intraocular lens implantation and to 0.15 ± 0.06 LogMAR after both surgeries. The LogMAR uncorrected near visual acuity increased by 0.81 ± 0.82 LogMAR after lens implantation due to loss of accommodation, and all eyes reached a LogMAR of 0 at 1 month postoperatively following laser in situ keratomileusis.Conclusions:A bioptics approach involving multifocal intraocular lens followed 6 weeks later by a laser in situ keratomileusis procedure for the correction of very high hyperopia enabled the resolution of the residual refractive error in young very high hyperopic patients.

Purpose: Spherophakia is a rare, debilitating congenital ocular disorder. Methods: This institution-based, retrospective, interventional study evaluated medical records of 16 patients with spherophakia with a median age of 19.5 years. Twenty-six eyes underwent scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation. The technique involved 2 parallel-to-limbus scleral tunnels fashioned using a microincision vitrectomy blade, followed by lensectomy, core vitrectomy, externalization of haptics through 2 separate diametrically opposite sclerotomies, and tucking in of the haptics into the tunnels. Anterior and posterior segment examination, visual acuity, and intraocular pressure (IOP) were noted at baseline and final follow-up. Results: Baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of all eyes was 0.49 ± 0.51 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) (Snellen equivalent, 6/18). BCVA of more than 6/60 was present in 28 of 32 (87.5%) eyes, and 13 of 26 (50%) eyes that were operated on had a baseline BCVA of more than 6/18. Postoperative BCVA in 26 eyes improved from 0.43 ± 0.32 logMAR to 0.19 ± 0.21 logMAR (Snellen equivalent, 6/9) ( P = .002). Postoperative BCVA was more than 6/18 in 20 of 26 (76.9%) operated-on eyes ( P = .046), and all eyes had a final BCVA of more than 6/60. In 20 of 26 (76.9%) eyes, BCVA improved from preoperative status. Postoperatively, spherical equivalent improved from –9.55 ± 5.17 diopters to –0.29 ± 1.45 diopters ( P < .001). Apart from 2 patients with Marfan syndrome, 1 with Weill-Marchesani syndrome, and 1 with homocystinuria, the remaining patients had isolated spherophakia. Six eyes presented with an IOP greater than 21 mm Hg, and 50% of these eyes had a final IOP that decreased to less than 15 mm Hg after lensectomy. Conclusions: Lensectomy with pars plana vitrectomy and scleral-fixated intraocular lens is an effective method of refractive rehabilitation for patients with spherophakia presenting with visual disability.

Objectives: This study was designed to analyse the outcomes of secondary multifocal intraocular lens implantation in eyes with white cataracts. Methods: White cataract patients undergoing secondary multifocal intraocular lens implantation between June 2014 and January 2015 were evaluated prospectively. As opposed to a conventional primary intraocular lens implantation for an optimal patient, the white cataract was first extracted, followed by optical biometry measurements. Whether or not the patient had adequate visual acuity was identified, and the multifocal intraocular lens was implanted secondarily. A total of five appropriate white cataract patients were enrolled in this secondary multifocal intraocular lens implantation study and were retrospectively reviewed. Results: All five secondary implantations of the multifocal intraocular lenses were successful, without obvious adverse events. The uncorrected near visual acuity LogMAR was 0.4–0.5, and the distance visual acuity was −0.1 to 0.1 after 12 months of the multifocal intraocular lens implantation. All patients achieved satisfactory near and distance visual acuities and spectacle freedom. Conclusion: Two-stage multifocal intraocular lens implantation is a safe and novel technique for the management of white cataract patients to optimise near and distance visual acuities.
