Purpose:
The aim of this study was to determine the surgical and visual outcomes of scleral
fixated intraocular lens implantation in eyes with as subluxated and dislocated crystalline lens or
traumatic aphakic eyes.
Methods:
A retrospective and short-term prospective cohort study was carried out in 45 eyes
of 43 individuals who underwent SFIOL implantation surgery in First Central Hospital of Mongolia
between January 2017 and January 2020 and had a minimum follow-up of 3 months. Pre-operative
and post-operative best corrected visual acuity, postoperative outcomes and complications
were summarized. Patients after the implantation of a scleral fixated PCIOL were evaluated for
the disease etiology, pre- and post-operative best corrected visual acuity, and occurrence of
postoperative complications.
Results:
The analysis included 45 eyes from 43 patients. Thirty-two (74.4%) patients were men and
eleven (24.6%) were women . The mean age at implantation was 57.2 ± 20.0. Indications for the
IOL implantation included ocular trauma (48.9%), pseudoexfoliation syndrome (22.2%) and Marfan
syndrome (15.6%). Disease etiology and age group were compared and results were Marfan
syndrome is mostly diagnosed in 20-29 years of age, ocular trauma is usually diagnosed in 30-69
years of age and pseudoexfoliation syndrome is occurred in 70 and above of age. Post-operative
visual acuity was improved in all cases from which 35 of patients (77.77%) visual outcome was 6/12
and above.
The mean preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.083 ± 0.088, which improved to
0.569 ± 0.221 (p<0.001) third month postoperatively and these were statistically significant.
The most frequent complication was induced astigmatism, which occurred in 6 eyes which
successfully corrected with glasses. Suture erosion occurred in three eyes which successfully
relocate it. The most serious complications such as vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment,
suprachoroidal hemorrhage, endophthalmitis and suture degradation or breakage was not seen.
Conclusion
Ab externo SFIOL implantation is a reasonable technique for the management of
eyes with aphakia or absence of capsular support, with relatively high visual outcomes and few
serious complications.
The most frequent cause of aphakia and absence of capsular support was ocular trauma thus,
pseudoexfoliation and Marfan syndrome were the most common in elderly and in young age,
respectively.

BACKGROUND. Acute primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is a severe disease requiring intensive and emergency treatment. Surgical peripheral iridectomy and laser peripheral iridectomy procedures are performed to decrease papillary block and create an opening for the aqueous humor to pass through the eye. However, the intraocular pressure (IOP) cannot be consistently controlled by peripheral iridectomy. Phacoemulsification can widen the anterior chamber angle, position the ciliary processes in eyes with PAC posteriorly and inhibit the acute angle closure. This procedure can control the intraocular pressure sustainably for a long period. The higher incidence of the acute angle closure glaucoma in Mongolia compared to other countries was the rationale of this study.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. Medical records of 9 patients (9 eyes) with acute PACG, who had received phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation as initial management for medically uncontrolled high IOP, were analyzed in a retrospective chart review. IOP, visual acuity, anterior chamber depth (ACD) and the number of anti-glaucoma medications used were evaluated.
RESULTS. The postoperative IOP was reduced in 9 eyes (100%). The mean preoperative IOP was 37.9 ± 13.0 mmHg, which decreased postoperatively to 11.0 ± 1.9 mmHg at day 1, 11.1 ± 2.1 mmHg at week 1, 11.1±2.0 mmHg at 2 weeks, 11.8 ± 1.9 mmHg at month 1, and 11.3 ± 1.4 mmHg at 3 months, which showed statistically significance (p < 0.001). The mean visual acuity improved from preoperative average of 0.04±0.03 to postoperative average of 0.17±0.24 at day 1, 0.45±0.26 at week 1, 0.54±0.31 at week 2, 0.56±0.34 at 1 month, and 0.57±0.33 (p = 0.001) at 3-months. There was functional success at month 3.
СONCLUSION. Our outcome indicates that primary phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation lowered IOP and improved visual acuity significantly in patients with acute PACG. This is a safe and effective method of IOP control and can be considered a first line treatment option in managing patients with acute PACG and coexisting cataract.

BACKGROUND: There are two general types of age-related macular degeneration: dry and wet. During wet or neovascular age-related macular degeneration new abnormal vessels grow and leak in the macula. As anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) was invented, it revolutionized the treatment of nAMD by inhibiting the progress of this disease. The incidence of AMD increases as life expectancy grows and there is a growing need to study this disease. We aimed to evaluate the outcome of anti-VEGF therapy for the treatment of nAMD and the incidence of ocular serious adverse events (SAE) after injections.. METHODS: In our retrospective, single-center study, medical records of patients receiving a single dose of anti-VEGF treatment (Bevacizumab) for nAMD between 17th of April, 2016 and October, 2017 were evaluated. Outcome measures were the change in the baseline visual acuity (VA) score at post-injective month one, incidence of ocular SAE and patients’ baseline characteristics affecting VA. Patients, whose treatment were started before April 2016 and had anti-VEGF treatment for the diseases other than nAMD, were excluded.. RESULTS: 15 eyes in 15 patients between 52 and 85 years of age received single dose of anti-VEGF (Bevacizumab/Avastin) injection. The mean baseline VA improved from pre-injective average of 0.21 to post-injective 1-month average of 0.37 by Snellen. Furthermore, there was no vision loss or other severe adverse effects, such as endophthalmitis, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, traumatic cataract after 4 weeks. CONCLUSION: Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy has promising short-term outcomes on treating neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
