[First experience of implantation of extended depth of focus intraocular lenses in patients with glaucoma]. / Pervyi opyt implantatsii intraokulyarnykh linz s uvelichennoi glubinoi fokusa u patsientov s glaukomoi.

PURPOSE: This study evaluates the effectiveness of implantation of extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses (IOL) in patients with cataract and glaucoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 13 patients (16 eyes) who underwent implantation of the Lentis Comfort EDOF IOL (Teleon Surgical BV, Netherlands). Standard phacoemulsification cataract surgery with IOL implantation was performed in a planned manner after the hypotensive surgery stage in two eyes; a combined procedure was performed in 14 cases. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), near visual acuity, and intraocular pressure (IOP) measured with a Maklakov tonometer were assessed preoperatively, on the first day, and 3-6 months after surgery. Computer perimetry using the 30-2 program and spatial contrast sensitivity (SCS) assessment were also performed preoperatively and at the same follow-up time points. RESULTS: On the first day after surgery, UCVA was 0.53±0.65, BCVA was 0.85±0.45. Near UCVA (at 40 cm) was 0.5±0.14 on the first day after surgery and 0.56±0.18 at 3-6 months. According to computer perimetry data, retinal light sensitivity values increased in all patients in the long-term (-3.1±2.9 dB). SCS values increased for objects of all sizes compared to preoperative values. CONCLUSION: Implantation of EDOF IOL contributes to improved vision without reducing contrast sensitivity and retinal light sensitivity in patients with concomitant cataract and glaucoma.

[Rehabilitation of patients with posttraumatic aniridia and secondary glaucoma]. / Reabilitatsiya patsientov s posttravmaticheskoi aniridiei i vtorichnoi glaukomoi.

Secondary glaucoma is one of the main problems of rehabilitation of patients with traumatic damage of the iris. PURPOSE: This study analyzes the long-term results of rehabilitation of patients with posttraumatic aniridia and glaucoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 310 patients (310 eyes) with posttraumatic aniridia who had artificial iris-lens diaphragm (ILD) MIOL-Raduzhka implanted in 2002-2022. Before ILD implantation, 61 patients (22.8%) had secondary glaucoma. Among them 35 patients (11.3%) underwent various modifications of glaucoma surgery. In 26 patients (8.6%), intraocular pressure (IOP) was compensated medically before ILD implantation. RESULTS: Until the third month after ILD implantation, there was a trend for IOP increase in some patients. Decompensation was noted in 8 (22.9%) out of 35 patients who had underwent glaucoma surgery. IOP decompensation was observed in 21 (80.8%) of 26 cases in patients with glaucoma compensated by drugs before ILD implantation. After ILD implantation, glaucoma appeared for the first time in 21 patients (6.8%) out of 310. In order to compensate IOP after ILD implantation, Ahmed valve implantation was performed most often - in 35 cases (70%) out of 50, deep sclerectomy - in 5 cases (10%), non-penetrating deep sclerectomy - in 4 cases (8%), micropulse transscleral laser cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) - in 5 cases (10%), endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) - in 1 case (2%). CONCLUSION: ILD implantation in patients with posttraumatic aniridia and secondary glaucoma should be performed with IOP compensated without hypotensive therapy and not earlier than 6-12 months after glaucoma surgery. The most optimal glaucoma surgery types in this group of patients are Ahmed valve implantation and MP-TSCPC.
