RESUMO
PURPOSE: To evaluate the benefit of the Holladay 2 formula versus the 3rd generation formulae in calculating the IOL power in eyes with non-standard axial length or keratometry before cataract surgery. PATIENTS: Retrospectiv study from January to December 2015. The inclusion critaeria were axial length (AL) <22mm or >26mm, or average keratometry <42 D or >46 D, dividing the patients in 4 groups respectively. The 7 parameters required to calculate the Holladay 2 formula were collected. The final refractive result was turned into spherical equivalent to calculate the optimal power retrospectively. Then, the results obtained using the other formulae were compared with the optimal IOL power. RESULTS: One hundred and twenty-six eyes operated by two surgeons were included. In the high AL group (n=32), the SRK/T was the most accurate formula; regarding the low AL group (n=36), the Hoffer Q and Holladay 2 formulae performed better; for the steep cornea group (n=27), the Hoffer Q, Haigis, Holladay 1 and 2 formulae were not different; last, the Holladay 1 and 2 were more accurate in the flat cornea group (n=33). CONCLUSION: In our study, the Holladay 2 formula does not seem to be better than the others for calculating IOL power in non-standard eyes. Preoperative eye features in such non-standard cases should be taken into account before the surgery to choose the more suitable formula.

AIMS: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of pre-Descemet's membrane (DM) sutures associated with intracameral air injection for management of acute corneal hydrops associated with keratoconus. METHODS: We carried out a retrospective interventional study of seven consecutive cases. Three to seven pre-DM sutures with 10-0 nylon were applied perpendicularly to the tear as close as possible to DM, under general anaesthesia. An air bubble was injected into the anterior chamber at the end of each procedure. RESULTS: Corneal oedema began to decrease from day 1 after surgery in all our patients. Best-corrected visual acuity progressed from 2.13 to 1.65 logMar (p=0.031) 1â month after surgery, and from 2.13 to 0.84 logMar (p=0.016) 2â months after surgery. The mean corneal thickness measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography decreased from 1472â µm (range 689-2770â µm) on day 0 to 909â µm (range 484-1640â µm) on day 1 (p=0.016), 716â µm (range 484-1380â µm) on day 15 (p=0.016) and 528â µm (range 404-618â µm) 1â month after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that intrastromal pre-DM sutures and intracameral air injection could promptly restore imperviousness of posterior stroma. This technique seems to be a safe and useful procedure to shorten acute corneal hydrops.
