RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To investigate the efficiency of a new method for the prevention of argentinian flag sign during the process of continuous, circular, and centered anterior capsulotomy (CCC) on the anterior capsule in cortically liquefied intumescent cataracts. This study was registered in an appropriate registry and the registration number of registration was xyy11[2022]-XJSFX-087; The date of of registration was 2022-04-29. METHODS: Preoperative examinations including slit-lamp examination, ocular A-scan ultrasonography, and Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM) UBM were conducted on 61 patients with intumescent cataracts. Cases with cortically liquefied intumescent cataracts were selected and after staining with indocyanine green, the anterior chamber air bubble technique was used to compress the anterior capsule, and liquefied cortex was aspirated using a puncture needle. Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) and intraocular pressure were recorded on postoperative days 1, 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were documented and analyzed. RESULTS: Fifty eyes were identified as having cortically liquefied intumescent cataracts. No cases of the Argentinian flag sign occurred, and standard capsulorrhexis was achieved, facilitating smooth phacoemulsification. All patients achieved satisfactory outcomes at follow-ups of 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months postoperatively. Mild corneal edema was observed in three cases on the first postoperative day, with no other complications noted. CONCLUSIONS: The anterior chamber air bubble technique combined with cortical fluid release technique can prevent the occurrence of the Argentinian flag sign in cortically liquefied intumescent cataracts, this method is simple, convenient and economic for the clinical promotion.

RESUMO

Aging and face sagging have many causes, and various techniques are used for treatment, including noninvasive procedures, such as focused ultrasound, which uses the principle of collagen regeneration by coagulative necrosis of the dermis layers using radiofrequency, but this procedure has complications. We reported a case of a 54-year-old female patient who complained of poor visual acuity in her right eye three days after a focused ultrasound facial aesthetic procedure, with the best visual acuity of 20/60. Biomicroscopy of the right eye revealed an acute cataract with three points of fibrosis extending from the posterior to the anterior capsule. The patient underwent phacoemulsification surgery with visual rehabilitation and improved vision of 20/20. We hypothesized that the occurrence of acute cataract was related to the inappropriate use of focused ultrasound.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the optical performance and safety of a new multifocal lens with a novel optical design featuring two additional foci (or intensifiers) in patients with cataract and presbyopia. METHODS: In this single-center, non-randomized prospective observational study, 31 patients underwent implantation of the new multifocal IOL between March 2020 and November 2021 at a tertiary clinical center in Buenos Aires and Ramos Mejia, Argentina. Postoperative examinations with emphasis on uncorrected and corrected visual acuity at distance and near and at two different intermediate distances (80 cm and 60 cm) were performed during the 3 postoperative months. RESULTS: Of the 31 patients who underwent implantation of the new IOL, 30 underwent bilateral surgery (61 eyes in total). At 3 months, all 61 eyes had an uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) of at least 0.15 logMAR; 57 eyes (93%) had an uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) of 0.1 logMAR and 27 eyes (44%) had an UCDVA of 0.0 logMAR. At 80 cm, 60 eyes (98%) had an uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UCIVA) of at least 0.1 log MAR and 48 eyes (79%) had an UCIVA of 0.0 logMAR. CONCLUSION: The new multifocal IOL with a novel optical concept (5 foci) showed a wide range of visual acuity especially at intermediate and near distances in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Uncorrected visual acuity was excellent at all tested distances, monocularly and binocularly, spectacle independence and patient satisfaction were high.

RESUMO

We present a case report detailing the successful phacoemulsification surgery with artificial iris implantation for two individuals with oculocutaneous albinism. These women suffered from cataracts, resulting in reduced visual acuity and heightened photophobia due to iris pigmentary epithelium deficiency. The patients underwent phacoemulsification along with prosthetic artificial iris implantation into the posterior chamber. This intervention resulted in improved visual acuity, reduced photophobia and glare, and an overall enhanced quality of life. Our report highlights two cases of successful phacoemulsification and artificial iris implantation in patients with oculocutaneous albinism and cataracts, leading to improved visual acuity, reduced photophobia, and enhanced quality of life. Notably, there are no prior records in South American literature of cataract surgery combined with artificial iris implantation for oculocutaneous albinism patients up to the time of this publication.

RESUMO

We present a case of a patient complaining of monocular diplopia due to a decentered ablation after LASIK. The patient underwent a wavefront-guided retreatment, which resulted in an epithelial ingrowth complication. Additionally, the patient developed cataract, with cataract surgery requiring reliable biometric measurements. Therefore, we opted for corneal treatment and corneal surface regularization. Although we attempted to lift the flap and wash the interface initially, the procedure proved unsuccessful, thereby necessitating immediate flap amputation. Once the corneal surface was regularized in the seventh postoperative month, transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy was successfully performed to homogenize the ocular surface, thereby significantly improving the patient's corrected visual acuity and resolving monocular diplopia. The surface and corneal curvature stabilized by the fifth month after the procedure. Phacoemulsification was then performed along with the implantation of a toric monofocal lens, which was selected using an appropriate formula, resulting in an excellent uncorrected visual acuity.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the association between LASIK and early cataract phacoemulsification surgery (PE). METHODS: A matched case-control study was conducted. Cases were otherwise healthy adults with a history of LASIK. Groups were paired according to corrected-distance visual acuity (CDVA), axial length, and cataract grade. RESULTS: A total of 213 patients were included. 85 patients were classified as post-LASIK group and 128 as controls. The mean age at the time of LASIK was 42.32 ± 9.24 years. The mean CDVA before PE was 0.29 ± 0.19 Log MAR in post-LASIK group and 0.34 ± 0.22 Log MAR in controls (p = 0.07). The mean axial length was 23.99 ± 1.78 mm in post-LASIK group and 23.62 ± 0.98 mm in controls (p = 0.085). The mean nuclear cataract grading was 1.36 in post-LASIK group and 1.47 in controls (p = 0.34). The mean age at the time of PE was 60.18 ± 7.46 years in post-LASIK group and 67.35 ± 9.28 in controls (p < 0.0005). The difference between the mean age of LASIK and the mean age of PE was 17.85 ± 5.72 years. There was a positive association between the post-LASIK group and the age of PE ≤ 55 years (OR: 4.917, 95% CI: 2.21-10.90, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: LASIK may be associated with early PE. Patients with LASIK had a 7-year earlier PE compared to a matched control group.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The main purpose of our study is to compare the adverse events occurrence, complications, and postoperative outcomes of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) versus conventional phacoemulsification surgery (CPS) in adult patients undergoing cataract surgery. METHODS: We conducted our research using PubMed, Scopus, and MEDLINE through EBSCOhost from 2012 to July 2022 with English and Spanish language restriction, including only Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs). The PRISMA guidelines were observed for data abstraction, including a random-effects model for each outcome. RESULTS: We analyzed 4844 eyes from 23 RCTs with some low risk of bias according to RoB 2 tool. We found statistically significant differences between the FLACS and CPS groups for the mean absolute error (MD = -0.12, 95% CI:-0.22-[-0.02], p = 0.01), the circularity of capsulorhexis (MD = 0.04, 95% CI: 0.04-0.05, p ≤ 0.00001), IOL centration (D = -0.07, 95% CI:-0.09-[-0.05], p ≤ 0.00001), CDE count (MD = -1.75, 95% CI: -2.75-[-0.74], p = 0.0006), mean phacoemulsification time (MD = -12.90, 95% CI:-20.89-[-4.92], p = 0.002), EPT (MD = -0.93, 95% CI: -1.68-[-0.019], p = 0.01) and endothelial cell density loss ((MD = -0.6, 95% CI: -1-[-0.19], p = 0.004). Also, the safety analysis showed a lower incidence of posterior capsule tear (PCT) in the FLACS group (OR =0.29, 95% CI: 0.09-1, p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that FLACS might be helpful for patients with relatively dense cataracts and low preoperative endothelial cell values.

RESUMO

The Argentinian flag sign (AFS) is a feared complication during cataract extraction. Intralenticular pressures, especially excessive posterior pressure, have been identified as potential mechanisms for capsular stress and tearing associated with AFS. Capsular tension is created by positive intralenticular pressures, which cause the irido-lens diaphragm to move anteriorly once the manual capsulorhexis has been initiated. This tension can cause inadvertent tears that self-propagate to the lens equator, causing an AFS, among other intraoperative complications. Thus, this review highlights the importance of identifying intumescent cataracts as well as a combination of techniques to relieve intracapsular pressures needed to prevent AFS. However, some instances of anterior capsular tears are unavoidable. Therefore, focus will also be placed on techniques during cataract extraction used to manage anterior capsular tears, mitigating extension to the posterior capsule.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare visual performance and photic visual disturbances of patients implanted with 2 different extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses (IOLs) using mini-monovision. SETTING: Ambulatory surgical center at the University of São Paulo in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. DESIGN: Prospective, examiner-masked, randomized clinical trial. METHODS: Patients were assigned to either a bilateral Symfony (SYM) or Vivity (VIV) IOL group, with 1 eye targeted for myopia (-0.75 diopter [D]). Defocus curve, contrast sensitivity (Pelli-Robson), Patient-Reported Spectacle Independence Questionnaire, and Quality of Vision questionnaire were recorded at 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS: A total of 126 patients finished the follow-up: group SYM: n = 60 and group VIV: n = 66. Regarding near visual acuity, 80% of patients in the SYM group and 84% of patients in the VIV group achieved J2 or better on the near-planned eye ( P = .3840). No significant differences were found between groups for distance visual acuity, defocus profiles, PRISC, contrast sensitivity, or reading speed ( P > .05). Notably, significant between-group differences were observed for bothersome visual disturbances ( P = .0235), with 45% of patients in the SYM group with a score of 0 for bothersome disturbances compared with 66% in the VIV group. CONCLUSIONS: Mini-monovision using these EDOF IOLs was well-tolerated in the patient cohort. No significant differences were found for visual performance tests between the VIV and SYM groups. However, the data suggest that Vivity IOL is associated with a lower probability of bothersome visual disturbances compared with Symfony IOL.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To showcase the majority of online intraocular lens (IOL) calculation tools and highlight some of their characteristics. RECENT FINDINGS: Online tools are available for preoperative and postoperative IOL-related calculations, including IOL power and toricity selection for standard patients, patients who underwent prior refractive surgery, keratoconus, limbal relaxing incisions for astigmatism management, realignment of a misplaced or rotated toric IOL, surgical induced astigmatism (SIA), formulae comparison, and other tools. SUMMARY: As there are new online developments and technology is advancing rapidly, we hope that this review will assist ophthalmologists in becoming acquainted with a large variety of online tools.

RESUMO

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o filme lacrimal e os sintomas de olho seco antes e após a realização da facoemulsificação. Métodos: Participaram deste estudo clínico 51 pacientes diagnosticados com catarata (55% mulheres; 78% brancos; 71,2 ± 6,5 anos de idade; sem uso de colírio lubrificante) que foram submetidos à facoemulsificação em um hospital na cidade de Aparecida (SP). A análise do filme lacrimal foi feita pelo teste de ruptura do filme lacrimal, e os sintomas de olho seco foram avaliados pelo Índice de Doença da Superfície Ocular, ambos antes da cirurgia e 30 e 60 dias de pós-operatório. Resultados: Na análise pré-operatória, 25,5% dos pacientes tinham olho seco pelo critério subjetivo (Índice de Doença da Superfície Ocular ≥ 25%), enquanto a proporção de pacientes com olho seco foi de 92,2% pelo critério objetivo (teste de ruptura do filme lacrimal < 10 segundos). Não houve correlação entre o teste de ruptura do filme lacrimal e o Índice de Doença da Superfície Ocular (r = −0,14; p = 0,33). Não foi observada redução dos sintomas de olho seco (15,9 ± 17,6 versus 12,2 ± 13,2 versus 7,8 ± 11,5; p < 0,001) e nem do tempo de ruptura do filme lacrimal (6,2 ± 2,2 vs. 4,3 ± 2,0 versus 6,9 ± 2,0 segundos; p < 0,001) no pré, 30 e 60 dias após a cirurgia. Conclusão: A facoemulsificação desencadeia sintomas de olho seco e altera os valores do teste de ruptura do filme lacrimal e do Índice de Doença da Superfície Ocular, havendo melhora depois da cirurgia, com o passar dos dias. Observou-se que, após os 60 dias, os sintomas de olho seco avaliados pelo Índice de Doença da Superfície Ocular apresentaram melhora. Em relação ao filme lacrimal, avaliado pelo teste de ruptura do filme lacrimal, observou-se que houve piora estatisticamente significativa aos 30 dias, seguida de melhora no pós-operatório de 60 dias. Os resultados sugerem que a análise clínica do olho seco deve ser realizada por diferentes métodos, preferencialmente objetivos.


ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the tear film and dry eye symptoms before and after phacoemulsification. Methods: Fifty-one patients diagnosed with cataracts participated in this clinical study (55% female; 78% white; 71.2 ± 6.5 years old; without the use of lubricating eye drops) and underwent phacoemulsification at a hospital in Aparecida (SP). Tear film analysis was performed by the tear film break-up test and dry eye symptoms were assessed by the Ocular Surface Disease Index, both before surgery and 30 and 60 days after surgery. Results: In the preoperative analysis, 25.5% of the patients had dry eye according to the subjective criterion (Ocular Surface Disease Index ≥ 25%), while the proportion of patients with dry eye was 92.2% according to the objective criterion (tear film break-up test < 10 seconds). There was no correlation between tear film break-up test and Ocular Surface Disease Index (r = −0.14; p = 0.33). There was no reduction in dry eye symptoms (15.9 ± 17.6 versus 12.2 ± 13.2 versus 7.8 ± 11.5; p<0.001) nor in tear film break-up time (6.2 ± 2.2 versus 4.3 ± 2.0 versus 6.9 ± 2.0 seconds; p < 0.001) before, 30 and 60 days after surgery. Conclusion: Phacoemulsification triggers dry eye symptoms and changes Ocular Surface Disease Index and tear film break-up test values, with improvement over the postoperative days. Sixty days after surgery, the symptoms of dry eye assessed according to the Ocular Surface Disease Index improved. Regarding the tear film, evaluated by tear film break-up test, it was observed that there was a statistically significant worsening at 30 days, followed by an improvement in the postoperative period of 60 days. The results suggest that the clinical analysis of dry eye should be performed using different methods, preferably objective ones.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate intraocular lens power calculation and postoperative refractive errors in patients with high myopia undergoing cataract surgery, comparing predicted target refraction and actual postoperative refraction measured 30 days after surgery with SRK/T formula. Methods This retrospective analysis comprised 39 eyes of 31 patients undergoing cataract surgery through phacoemulsification with in-the-bag IOL implantation. Axial length was measured by partial coherence interferometry or immersion ultrasound biometry, with measurements greater than 26 mm and preoperative myopia greater than -6.0 D Manifest refraction was performed at the 1-month postoperative visit, and the spherical equivalent was analyzed. Results After analysis of 39 eyes of 31 patients undergoing cataract surgery with a mean axial length of 30.4 (standard deviation of 2.2) mm, the mean preoperative refractive spherical equivalent was -15.6 (standard deviation of 7.6) D, ranging from -24.0 to -13.4 D. At 30 days postoperatively, the mean spherical equivalent was -0.35 (standard deviation of 1.1) D, ranging from -2.4 to 2.50 D. Conclusion We encountered a correlation between the absolute refractive error and the dioptric power of the intraocular lens. Against expectations, in our study, ultrasound biometry yielded better results than the optical biometer device, probably due to the small number of patients undergoing optical biometry, suggesting that well-performed immersion biometry can still produce satisfactory results.


RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar os cálculos de potência da lente intraocular e os erros refrativos pós-operatórios em pacientes com alta miopia submetidos à cirurgia de catarata, comparando a refração-alvo prevista e a refração pós-operatória real medida 30 dias após a cirurgia com a fórmula SRK/T. Métodos Esta análise retrospectiva incluiu 39 olhos de 31 pacientes com cirurgia de catarata de facoemulsificação não complicada com implantação de lente intraocular na bolsa. Os comprimentos axiais foram medidos por biometria de coerência óptica ou ultrassônica (imersão), com medidas de axial length (AL) maiores que 26 mm em pacientes com miopia maior que -6.0 D. A refração manifesta foi realizada na consulta pós-operatória de 1 mês, e o equivalente esférico foi analisado. Resultados Após análise de 39 olhos de 31 pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de catarata com AL médio de 30,4 (desvio-padrão de 2,2) mm, o equivalente esférico refrativo médio pré-operatório foi de -15,6 (desvio-padrão de 7,6) D, variando de -24,0 a -13,4 D. Aos 30 dias de pós-operatório, o equivalente esférico médio foi de -0,35 (desvio-padrão de 1,1) D, variando de -2,4 a 2,50 D. Conclusão Encontramos uma correlação entre o erro refrativo absoluto e o poder dióptrico da lente intraocular. Contrariando as expectativas, em nosso estudo, a biometria ultrassônica apresentou melhores resultados que o biômetro óptico, provavelmente devido ao pequeno número de pacientes submetidos à biometria óptica, sugerindo que a biometria de imersão bem executada ainda pode produzir resultados satisfatórios.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT The objective of this case report was to share the successful management of severe endophthalmitis, aiming at ocular integrity and visual acuity. A 73-year-old man presented with visual acuity of 20/30 in the right eye and 20/200 in the left eye. On the 21st day postoperatively after phacoemulsification in the left eye, he developed symptoms of endophthalmitis, including ocular discomfort, blurred vision, and whitish discharge. Despite negative cultures, his condition worsened, resulting in corneal perforation on the 31st day. Conjunctival flap and penetrating keratoplasty were performed. Currently, the patient maintains a visual acuity of 20/40 in the left eye, with a healthy graft and no signs of failure. Despite the complications, careful follow-up and timely interventions successfully preserved his vision. The use of conjunctival flap during the inflammatory phase was crucial to maintaining ocular integrity. This underscores the importance of different approaches in complex ocular complications, including alternative strategies for ocular protection during active inflammation.


RESUMO O objetivo deste relato de caso foi compartilhar o manejo bem-sucedido de uma grave endoftalmite, visando à integridade ocular e à acuidade visual. Um homem de 73 anos apresentou acuidade visual de 20/30 no olho direito e 20/200 no olho esquerdo. No 21° dia pós-operatório de facoemulsificação em olho esquerdo, ele desenvolveu sintomas de endoftalmite, incluindo desconforto ocular, visão embaçada e secreção esbranquiçada. Apesar de culturas negativas, sua condição piorou, resultando em perfuração corneal no 31° dia. A cobertura conjuntival e a ceratoplastia penetrante foram realizadas. Atualmente, o paciente mantém acuidade visual de 20/40 no olho esquerdo, com enxerto saudável e sem sinais de falha. Apesar das complicações, o acompanhamento cuidadoso e as intervenções oportunas preservaram a visão com sucesso. O uso de cobertura conjuntival durante a fase inflamatória foi crucial para manter a integridade ocular. Isso destaca a importância de diferentes abordagens em complicações oculares complexas, incluindo estratégias alternativas para proteção ocular durante a inflamação ativa.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare the in vitro incisional temperature, acoustic energy, transient cavitation, and turbulence of the polymer-coated hybrid phacoemulsification tip with the balanced tip. SETTING: Pasteur Ophthalmology Clinic, Vitacura, Santiago, Chile. DESIGN: Laboratory study. METHODS: The Centurion Vision System with Active Sentry handpiece was used with tips operated in torsional mode, and stroke was normalized. For thermal measurements, controlled loads were applied over the tip sleeve simulating the pressure applied at the expected level of the corneal incision. Heat generated was recorded on a blackbody filmstrip using infrared imaging. A directional hydrophone provided 360° mapping of acoustic pressure. Cavitation patterns with increasing ultrasound power were imaged with high-speed video recording. Particle image velocimetry was used to evaluate turbulence, streaming, and bubble formation. RESULTS: The temperature rise for the hybrid and balanced tips was lower than with the control mini-flared Kelman tip ( P ≤ .0001). The hybrid tip generated reduced acoustic output compared with the balanced tip. Ultrasound threshold for cavitation was higher for the hybrid vs balanced tip (55% vs 25%). Fluid turbulence was more evident with the balanced tip compared with the hybrid tip at all flow conditions when normalized for stroke at 60% and 80% power for balanced and hybrid tip, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The polymer-coated hybrid tip showed reduced heat generation compared with the control mini-flared Kelman tip and had lower acoustic output, lower cavitation, and lower turbulence compared with the balanced tip, suggesting potential for improved clinical safety.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare clinical outcomes between an enhanced and a conventional monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) after cataract surgery. SETTING: Ophthalmology Unit, Hospital del Salvador, University of Chile (tertiary care hospital). DESIGN: Double-masked, prospective randomized controlled trial. METHODS: 66 healthy adults with corneal astigmatism less than 1.50 diopters and axial length between 21 and 27 mm were randomly allocated (1:1) for bilateral phacoemulsification with either an enhanced monofocal IOL (ICB00) or a conventional aspheric monofocal IOL (ZCB00) implant. The refractive target was emmetropia in both eyes. Visual acuities, defocus curves, Catquest-9SF, and quality of vision (QoV) were measured 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS: Binocular uncorrected intermediate visual acuity was improved in patients implanted with the enhanced monofocal lens (0.37 ± 0.12) compared with the conventional monofocal (0.45 ± 0.10) ( P < .01). There were no significant differences in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), Catquest-9SF, or QoV scores. CONCLUSIONS: The enhanced monofocal IOL provided 1 additional line of intermediate visual acuity after cataract surgery. There was no significant change in either CDVA or QoV.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aims to comparatively evaluate the morphological changes of the cornea after phacoemulsification (PHACO) and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) without intercurrences in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: A total of 95 diabetic patients with moderate cataracts (N2 + and N3+), 47 undergoing PHACO and 48 undergoing FLACS, were selected randomly for the study. Surgeries were performed by a single surgeon between July 2021 and December 2021. Cumulative dissipated energy (CDE) and total balanced saline solution (BSS) data were obtained at the end of each surgery. Changes in corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) and central corneal thickness (CCT) at three months postoperatively were investigated. RESULTS: After three months, evidence is lacking between groups in the CCT measures; the difference was neither statistically nor clinically relevant. However, for ECD, a significant and clinically significant difference was found; if all patients were treated with laser, the mean ECD would be 423.55 greater (RSE: 86.09; p-value < 0.001; 95% CI: 254.81-592.29) than the ECD potential means of 1656.423 among the conventional group (RSE: 74.90; p-value < 0.001; 95% CI: 1509.62-1803.23). CONCLUSIONS: Diabetic patients under treatment with moderate cataracts may predispose themselves to a more significant loss of endothelial cells after conventional phacoemulsification than femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION: It was registered at The Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (ReBEC) with the code RBR-6d8whb5 (UTN code: U1111-1277-6020) on 17/05/2022.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Evaluar la seguridad de facoemulsificación asociada a la trabeculectomía gonioasistida modificada con tijeras. Métodos: Estudio experimental de intervención en 103 ojos (103 pacientes) con glaucoma primario de ángulo abierto. Se realizó facoemulsificación y trabeculectomía gonioasistida modificada con tijeras (51 ojos, casos) y facoemulsificación- trabeculectomía estándar (52 ojos, controles). En los casos se requirió tijera y pinza vítreo-retinal y se resecó trabéculo por abordaje interno. Se evaluó la agudeza visual, el astigmatismo inducido, la pérdida de células endoteliales y la aparición de complicaciones quirúrgicas en ambos grupos a los tres meses de seguimiento posoperatorio. Resultados: La AVSC se incrementó en ambos grupos a los tres meses postoperatorios. Sin embargo, fue mayor para la FACO-TGAM (0,81 ± 0,16vs. 0,71 ± 0,16), con diferencias significativas (p= 0,002). El astigmatismo inducido fue significativamente mayor en el grupo control (0,53 ± 1,14Dvs.1,8 ± 1,20D (p< 0.001). Las complicaciones quirúrgicas posoperatorias fueron más frecuentes en el grupo control (57 por ciento vs. 73 por ciento p= 0,14). La pérdida de células endoteliales no mostró diferencias significativas (p= 0,82). Conclusiones: La recuperación visual y el menor número de complicaciones ubican la facoemulsificación y trabeculectomía gonioasistida modificada con tijeras como técnica de elección para el tratamiento de pacientes con catarata y el glaucoma primario de ángulo abierto(AU)


Objective: To evaluate the safety of phacoemulsification associated with modified gonio-assisted trabeculectomy with scissors. Methods: Experimental intervention study in 103 eyes (103 patients) with primary open-angle glaucoma. Phacoemulsification and modified gonioassisted trabeculectomy with scissors (51 eyes, cases) and standard phacoemulsification-trabeculectomy (52 eyes, controls) were performed. In the cases, scissors and vitreoretinal forceps were required and trabeculum was resected by internal approach. Visual acuity, induced astigmatism, loss of endothelial cells and the appearance of surgical complications were evaluated in both groups at three months postoperative follow-up. Results: The uncorrected visual acuity increased at three postoperative months in both groups, however it was higher for the PHACO-TGAM (0.81 ± 0.16 vs 0.71 ± 0.16); with significant differences (p = 0.002). Induced astigmatism was significantly higher in the control group (0.53 ± 1.14 D vs. 1.8 ± 1.20 D, (p < 0.001). Postoperative surgical complications were more frequent in the control group (57 percent vs 73 pèrcent, p = 0.14), the endothelial cell loss did not show significant differences (p = 0.82). Conclusions: the visual recovery and the lower number of complications place phacoemulsification and modified gonio-assisted trabeculectomy with scissors as the technique of choice for the treatment of patients with cataract and primary open-angle glaucoma(AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare and contrast functional visual outcomes and levels of patient satisfaction in post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) cataract patients with multifocal, extended depth of focus (EDOF), or monofocal intraocular lens (IOLs). METHODS: Three cohorts of post-LASIK eyes with multifocal, EDOF, or monofocal IOLs were evaluated. Objective preoperative and postoperative clinical metrics, including higher-order aberration, contrast sensitivity, and visual acuities, plus subjective responses to a questionnaire about satisfaction, spectacle use, and ability to perform tasks were compared. Variables were regressed against "overall patient satisfaction" to identify predictors of satisfaction. RESULTS: Ninety-seven percent of patients were "very satisfied" or "satisfied." "Very satisfied" was significantly greater in multifocal (86.8%, 33 of 38) and EDOF (72.7%, 8 of 11) vs. monofocal (33.3%, 6 of 18) IOLs. However, EDOF IOLs outperformed monofocal IOLs for intermediate ( P =0.04). Contrast sensitivity was significantly worse at distance for multifocal vs. both EDOF ( P =0.05) and monofocal ( P =0.005) IOLs. Regression revealed that greater patient satisfaction in multifocal was explained by near visual function variables, including UNVA ( P =0.001) and UIVA ( P =0.04), reading acuity ( P =0.014), reading speed ( P =0.05), spectacle use at near ( P =0.0014), and ability to read moderate print ( P =0.002). CONCLUSIONS: Multifocals achieved high satisfaction levels in post-LASIK patients despite higher-order aberrations and lower contrast sensitivity scores; regression revealed that uncorrected near visual function variables explained high levels of satisfaction; dysphotopsias did not contribute significantly to scores for satisfaction; multifocal IOLs are a viable choice for cataract patients who have previously undergone LASIK.
