Patient symptoms serve as the guiding principle for the management of ID, encompassing the spectrum of medical and surgical interventions. Cases of mild glare and diplopia can sometimes be managed using atropine, antiglaucoma medications, tinted glasses, colored contact lenses, or corneal tattoos, though extensive cases often necessitate surgical intervention. Difficult surgical techniques are necessitated by the intricate iris texture, the damage from the initial procedure, the restricted workspace for the repair, and the additional surgical complications. Several authors have reported on numerous techniques, each holding unique merits and drawbacks. Previously described procedures, consisting of conjunctival peritomy, scleral incisions, and the tying of suture knots, are characterized by their time-consuming nature. In this report, we present a novel transconjunctival, intrascleral, knotless, ab-externo double-flanged technique for significant iridocyclitis repair with a one-year postoperative evaluation.

We describe a new iridoplasty technique, utilizing a U-suture approach, for the repair of traumatic mydriasis and large iris flaws. Incisions, 09 mm in length and opposing each other, were made into the cornea. Employing the first incision as a starting point, the needle was inserted, passed meticulously through the iris leaflets, and extracted from the second incision. The needle was re-inserted into the second incision and passed through the iris leaflets before being extracted via the first incision, resulting in a U-shaped suture. By employing the revised Siepser method, the suture was corrected. Accordingly, a single knot enabled the iris leaflets to draw closer, resembling a compact bundle, subsequently decreasing the required sutures and resultant gaps. The technique's application resulted in a satisfactory combination of aesthetics and functionality in all cases. No suture erosion, hypotonia, iris atrophy, or chronic inflammation were observed during the subsequent monitoring.

A significant obstacle in cataract surgery is the inadequate dilation of the pupil, which raises the potential for a range of intraoperative complications. Implanting toric intraocular lenses (TIOLs) proves particularly intricate in instances of small pupils, as the toric markings are situated at the periphery of the IOL optic, thereby obstructing clear visualization essential for proper alignment. Visualizing these markings with secondary instruments, such as a dialler or iris retractor, introduces additional interventions into the anterior chamber, potentially leading to an augmented risk of postoperative inflammation and an increase in intraocular pressure. A method for marking intraocular lenses (IOLs) is presented, specifically to aid the implantation of toric IOLs (TIOLs) in eyes having diminutive pupils, with the potential to ensure accurate alignment of the toric IOLs, obviating the necessity for further interventions. This could improve the safety, efficacy, and success rates of TIOL implantations in these eyes.

We present the results from utilizing a custom-designed toric piggyback intraocular lens in a patient who demonstrated significant residual astigmatism post-surgery. A 60-year-old male patient underwent a customized toric piggyback IOL procedure to address 13 diopters of residual postoperative astigmatism. The IOL's stability and refractive outcomes were monitored through subsequent follow-up examinations. CD47-mediated endocytosis At two months, the refractive error stabilized, remaining stable for a full year, and requiring a nearly 9 D astigmatism correction. No complications arose after the operation, and the intraocular pressure stayed within the normal range. There was no change in the IOL's horizontal alignment; it remained stable. In our experience, a novel smart toric piggyback IOL design has proved effective in correcting unusually high astigmatism, presenting the first documented case.

Our work outlines a modified Yamane procedure for achieving efficient and precise trailing haptic placement in aphakia surgeries. The implantation of the trailing haptic in the Yamane intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) procedure is often a difficult task for surgeons. Employing this modification, the process of trailing haptic insertion into the needle tip becomes simpler and safer, minimizing the chance of bending or breaking the trailing haptic component.

Despite the phenomenal advancements in technology, phacoemulsification continues to pose a challenge for uncooperative patients, potentially requiring general anesthesia for the procedure, with simultaneous bilateral cataract surgery (SBCS) frequently being the preferred surgical option. This manuscript describes a novel two-surgeon technique for SBCS, applied to a 50-year-old mentally subnormal patient. Simultaneously, under general anesthesia, two surgeons executed phacoemulsification procedures, with each surgeon supported by their own dedicated microscopes, irrigation lines, phaco machines, instruments, and a separate team of assistants. Intraocular lenses (IOLs) were implanted into each orbit (OU). A significant improvement in visual acuity was observed in the patient, advancing from 5/60, N36 in both eyes preoperatively to 6/12, N10 in both eyes on day 3 and 1 month post-operatively, showcasing a successful procedure with no complications. By employing this technique, the potential for endophthalmitis, the need for repeated and lengthy anesthetic administrations, and the total number of hospitalizations could be diminished. Our review of the medical literature reveals no prior description of this two-surgeon method for SBCS.

A surgical technique for pediatric cataracts with high intralenticular pressure modifies the continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) approach, creating a suitable-sized capsulorhexis. Successfully applying CCC to pediatric cataracts is often challenging, especially when the intralenticular pressure is high. Needle decompression of the lens, using a 30-gauge needle, is employed to reduce intraocular pressure within the lens, leading to a flattening of the anterior capsule. This method minimizes the risk of the CCC extending its reach, and necessitates no specialized equipment. This procedure was implemented in both eyes of two children, aged 8 and 10, who had unilateral developmental cataracts. The single surgeon, PKM, conducted both surgical procedures. A well-centered CCC was achieved in each eye, with no extension, and a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) was subsequently placed in the capsular bag. Our 30-gauge needle aspiration technique, in summary, could be particularly helpful for accomplishing a properly sized capsular contraction in pediatric cataracts suffering from elevated intralenticular pressure, especially for less experienced surgical teams.

A referral was necessitated for a 62-year-old female patient who encountered poor vision post-manual small incision cataract surgery. A visual acuity test, without corrective lenses, revealed a score of 3/60 for the affected eye. Simultaneously, slit-lamp examination unveiled central corneal edema, while the peripheral cornea remained relatively transparent. Through direct focal examination, the upper border and lower margin of a detached, rolled-up Descemet's membrane (DM) were directly visualized as a narrow slit. Our novel approach involved the double-bubble pneumo-descemetopexy surgical procedure. Unrolling the DM, with a small air bubble, and performing descemetopexy with a large air bubble were components of the surgical procedure. Improved best-corrected distance visual acuity reached 6/9 at six weeks, with no postoperative complications observed. During an 18-month follow-up period, the patient's cornea remained transparent, and their best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) consistently measured 6/9. A more controlled approach, double-bubble pneumo-descemetopexy, yields a satisfactory anatomical and visual result in DMD, obviating the necessity of endothelial keratoplasty (Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty or DMEK) or penetrating keratoplasty.

This report describes a novel non-human ex vivo model, the goat eye model, for surgical training in Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). EX 527 inhibitor In a wet lab setting, goat eyes served as the source for an 8mm pseudo-DMEK graft harvested from the goat lens capsule. This graft was injected into a recipient goat eye, employing the identical procedures as those used in human DMEK. Conveniently prepared, stained, loaded, injected, and unfolded, the DMEK pseudo-graft can be accommodated in the goat eye model, simulating the DMEK procedure in humans, but without the execution of descemetorhexis. Immune mediated inflammatory diseases The pseudo-DMEK graft, akin to a human DMEK graft, serves as a valuable tool for surgeons to hone their DMEK skills and grasp the intricacies of the procedure during the initial learning stages. The creation of a non-human ex-vivo eye model is simple and repeatable, rendering unnecessary the use of human tissue and resolving issues with the reduced visibility in stored corneal specimens.

In 2020, an estimated 76 million people globally were affected by glaucoma, a figure predicted to escalate to 1,118 million by 2040. Precise intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement is an absolute necessity in glaucoma care, because it remains the only modifiable risk factor. Many researchers have investigated the concordance of intraocular pressure (IOP) values measured using transpalpebral tonometers and the standard Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) method. This study, a systematic review and meta-analysis, aims to update the current literature by comparing the reliability and concordance of transpalpebral tonometers with the gold standard GAT for intraocular pressure measurement in individuals undergoing ophthalmic procedures. Using a predetermined search strategy applied to electronic databases, the data collection will take place. The dataset will encompass prospective method-comparison studies, all of which were published from January 2000 through September 2022. Empirical studies that report on the accord between transpalpebral tonometry and Goldmann applanation tonometry are deemed eligible for consideration. The forest plot will visually display the standard deviation, limits of agreement, weights, percentage of error, and pooled estimate for each individual study.
