Literature review surrounding the use of intraocular lenses in children. Attention was given to multicenter study efforts including the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study, the Toddler Aphakia and Pseudoph...
Intraocular lenses are a valuable tool in the care of children with lens abnormalities. Recent studies and advancements in fixation techniques have complimented our care and highlighted age and ocular...
Lens drop and intraocular lens (IOL) drop can occur after cataract or phacoemulsification surgery, where the IOL is dislocated from the capsular bag into the vitreous cavity. The aim of this study was...
To introduce a modified procedure of ICL implantation, to summarize the perioperative problems and their corresponding treatment after myopia correction with Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL), and to co...
We searched all articles on ICL-related perioperative problems and their corresponding treatment in Scopus, Embase, PubMed and Web of Science databases for the last 22 years....
ICL implantation is safe, effective, stable and predictable in the correction of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, but can also cause a series of perioperative problems, including intraoperative and ...
There are many kinds of complications related to ICL, but the common intraoperative and postoperative complications mainly include abnormality of arch height, abnormal position of ICL, loss of corneal...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the intra- and postoperative complications, especially the risk of visual axis opacification (VAO), following the implantation of the bag-in-the-lens (BIL) intrao...
Infants operated on before 12 weeks of age between June 2020 and June 2021 with a follow-up longer than 1 year were included in the present retrospective study. This was a first-experience cohort of a...
Nine infants (13 eyes) with a median age at surgery of 28 days (range, 21-49 days) were included. The median follow-up time was 21.6 months (range, 12.2-23.4 months). The lens was correctly implanted ...
Implantation of the BIL IOL is safe even in the youngest age group less than 12 weeks of age. Although being a first-experience cohort, the BIL technique is shown to reduce the risk of VAO and the num...
We present a newly developed approach to secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, which uses an artificial bag with optic capture (i.e., ABC technique) in patients with IOL dislocation....
This is a retrospective, noncomparative, and interventional case series that reveals the results of secondary IOL implantation using an artificial bag with optic capture in four cases of IOL dislocati...
The best-corrected visual acuity of patients ranged from 20/30 to 20/20. The IOL of all patients showed no tilting or decentration with normal intraocular pressure....
We believe that this method produces satisfactory results and will be especially beneficial to retinal surgeons for the management of patients with IOL dislocation....
To report patient satisfaction after unilateral/bilateral extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in a young population after vitrectomy....
Patients that underwent phaco-vitrectomy or phaco following vitrectomy with an AT LARA EDOF IOL, aged between 18 and 75 years, were asked to fill out a questionnaire to assess overall visual quality, ...
A total of 89 participants (average age 56.7 years) filled out the questionnaire of which 53.9% received a unilateral EDOF IOL. The most common indications for vitrectomy were retinal detachments (38....
Both unilateral and bilateral implantation of the AT LARA EDOF IOL showed a high satisfaction with no differences between both groups, except for a lower spectacle use in the latter. Hence, The AT LAR...
A male patient in his 20s presented with right eye aphakic corneal decompensation and left eye intumescent cataract with phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) lenticular touch. He had a history of pIOL impla...
This study is aimed at investigating the efficacy of intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in patients suffering from glaucoma through meta-analysis of the previously published research. For this purpos...
To compare the two most used digital alignment systems regarding precision, repeatability and loss of track....
15 eyes of 15 patients older than 21 years with cataracts were included in this prospective study. The two systems were intraoperatively superimposed and recorded, and the alignment of the two display...
There was a significant difference in precision and repeatability between the two digital alignment systems regarding the projected alignment axis. The deviation from the actual target axis was signif...
The Zeiss Callisto system showed a significantly lower deviation from the target axis, higher stability with eye movements and less need for microscope illumination than the Alcon system. Both systems...

To identify the current surgical management of aphakia and the outcomes and complications of each technique....
This cross-sectional study included ophthalmic surgeons with at least one-year experience in surgery for aphakia. A study questionnaire was formulated to collect data in Saudi Arabia and other regiona...
The study included 145 participants (111; 76.6% were males) with mean age of 46.7 ± 11.5 years. The mean duration of cataract surgery experience was 17.6 ± 11.1 years. Most participants (86.2%) were t...
SFIOL is the preferred surgical technique for managing aphakia. The decision to choose one technique over another is complex and is based on several factors, including technical difficulty, previous t...
