Internal lenticonus is a very rare morphologic abnormality of crystalline lens which has been reported in only several cases in the literature. We herein reported the clinical characteristics and surgical findings of the anterior internal lenticonus accompanied by congenital nuclear cataract. Cataract extraction accompanied with intraocular lens implantation was uneventfully performed, and a good visual outcome was achieved in this case. Viral infection during embryonal and fetal period might account for the formation of the anterior internal lenticonus and congenital nuclear cataract in our case.

Journal of Korean Medical Science 2018;33(44):e275-
BACKGROUND: We compared the efficacy between trifocal and bifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS: Through PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL, we searched potentially relevant articles published from 1990 to 2018. Defocus curves, visual acuities (VAs) were measured as primary outcomes. Spectacle dependence, postoperative refraction, contrast sensitivity (CS), glare, and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were measured as secondary outcomes. Effects were pooled using random-effects method. RESULTS: We included 11 clinical trials, with a total of 787 eyes (395 subjects). The trifocal IOL group showed better binocular distance VA corrected with defocus levels of −0.5, −1.0, −1.5, and −2.5 diopter than the bifocal IOL group (All P ≤ 0.004). The trifocal IOL group showed better monocular uncorrected distance and intermediate VAs (mean difference [MD], −0.04 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR]; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.07, −0.01; P = 0.006 and MD, −0.07 logMAR; 95% CI, −0.13, −0.01; P = 0.03, respectively). Postoperative refraction, glare, CS, and HOAs were not significantly different from each other. CONCLUSION: The overall findings indicate that trifocal diffractive IOL implantation is better than the bifocal diffractive IOL in intermediate VA, and provides similar or better in distance and near VAs without any major deterioration in the visual quality.

PURPOSE: To compare the predicted and actual refractive errors of hydrophilic, one-piece, C-flex(R)570C (C-flex) intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in simultaneous vitrectomy and lens extraction in various conditions. METHODS: One hundred fifty-nine eyes of patients who had lens extraction between March 2004 and September 2005 were enrolled in a retrospective study. Group 1 had lens extraction and IOL implantation, and Group 2 had lens extraction and IOL implantation with vitrectomy. IOL calculation was done with axial length and keratometry measurements. The actual and predicted refractive errors were compared at 1 and 6 months postoperatively. The factors influencing the postoperative refractive outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: The mean refractive predictive error (i.e., the actual minus predicted spherical equivalent) was +0.19+/-0.39 D (Diopter) and -0.26+/-0.45 D at 1 and 6 months postoperatively (all: p<0.001) in group 1, and -0.22+/-0.39 D and -0.06+/-0.62 D at 1 and 6 months postoperatively (p=0.013, p=0.399 respectively). In group 2, all surgical factors related to refractive errors were not statistically significant (all: p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Refractive errors in combined surgery showed myopic shift of -0.50 D and -0.32 D at 1 and 6 months postoperatively compared with C-flex IOL implantation alone. With the hyperopic tendency of IOL and myopic tendency of vitrectomy, the combined surgery made postoperative refractive errors near emmetropia.

PURPOSE: This study was performed to assess efficiency and stability of astigmatic change by incision size after cataract surgery. METHODS: This work was designed as a retrospective, comparative, nonrandomized interventional study. A total of 121 cases of cataract surgery were reviewed in 98 patients performed by one surgeon at the Oregon Eye Institute in Eugene, OR, USA with 3-year follow-ups. All procedures were performed with the temporal approach of self-sealing incisions. The serial change in surgically induced astigmatisms were examined in all cases of three groups: Group A, cartridge injection of a foldable IOL through a 2.5 mm self-sealing incision; Group B, cartridge injection of a foldable IOL through a 3.0 mm self-sealing incision; Group C, cartridge injection of a foldable IOL through a 3.5 mm self-sealing incision. Keratometric data were obtained preoperatively, and 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 24 months and 36 months postoperatively. Polar value analysis was performed to calculate the surgically induced astigmatism. RESULTS: The astigmatic change decreased over time in Group B (P<0.05). The other groups tended to remain in induced astigmatism. All groups showed anticlockwise torque at 3 weeks following surgery. Group B showed a decrease in deviation, but the other groups showed increases in their torque value at postoperative 12 months (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The 3.0 mm incision size correlated with the least surgically induced astigmatism.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes in visual acuity (VA) and central macular thickness (CMT) after intravitreal dexamethasone (IVD) implantation in intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) treatment-resistant cases with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME). METHODS: This study included 10 PCME cases who underwent uneventful phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation with similar methods and six PCME cases referred to our hospital for treatment of low VA after cataract surgery. Due to the persistence of PCME, both topical steroid and anti-inflammatory medication were administered first, followed by IVB injection. IVD implantation was performed for all IVB treatment-resistant cases. VA and CMT values were compared before and at three months after the first IVD implantation. RESULTS: The mean VA values before and at 3 months after the first IVD implantation were 0.69 ± 0.19 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) (1.50 to 0.10 logMAR) and 0.26 ± 0.07 logMAR (1.00 to 0.00 logMAR), respectively (p < 0.001). The mean CMT was 476.13 ± 135.13 mm (314 to 750 mm) and 294.06 ± 15.26 mm (222 to 480 mm), respectively (p < 0.001). The mean number of implanted IVD was 1.44 ± 0.89 (1 to 4) and the mean follow-up time was 7.4 ± 4.6 months (6 to 24 months). After IVD implantation therapy, the mean VA and CMT values were 0.19 ± 0.05 logMAR (0.70 to 0.00 logMAR) and 268.38 ± 31.35 mm (217 to 351 mm), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to show the efficacy of IVD implantation even after repeated IVB injections in treatment-resistant PCME. IVD implantation is both a safe and effective method for decreasing PCME after both uneventful and complicated cataract surgery.

In order to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intravitreal phacofragmentation, we analyzed cases of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with intravitreal phacofragmentation and scleral fixation of an intraocular lens (IOL) performed in patients with a crystalline lens completely dislocated into the vitreous cavity without any damage to the lens capsule. Of the 23 eyes examined, the dislocated lens was related with a hypermature cataract in 4 eyes and Marfan syndrome in 2 eyes, developed after argon and Nd:YAG laser iridotomy in 2 eyes, and was due to ocular trauma in 15 eyes. The dislocated lens was present for more than a year in 6 eyes and less than 4 weeks in 13 eyes. PPV, intravitreal phacofragmentation and scleral fixation of IOL were performed in all 23 eyes. Additionally, trabeculectomy was performed in 4 eyes, iridoplasty in 1 eye and cryopexy with intravitreal injection of sulfur hexafluoride in 2 eyes. Perfluorocarbon liquid was used in 9 eyes. The mean follow-up period was 11.7 months. On final examination, the visual acuity was better than 20/40 in 17 eyes (73.9%) and counting fingers in 1 eye due to traumatic optic neuropathy. There was no postoperative retinal detachment. These results demonstrated that PPV with intravitreal phacofragmentation and other combined procedures is a safe and effective surgical method for treating a completely dislocated crystalline lens.

Chinese Medical Journal 2010;123(16):2221-2224
BACKGROUNDThe TetraFlex accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) was designed to supply the patients both satisfied far and near vision after cataract surgery. So we need to evaluate the safety, distance and near visual acuity, subjective accommodation and IOL mobility with the TetraFlex accommodating IOL implantation.
METHODSFifty eyes of 42 study-eligible cataract patients, who gave informed consent at a single eye clinic in China over a 10-month period, underwent phacoemulsification with TetraFlex IOL implantation. At three months postoperation, uncorrected visual acuities (UCVA), best corrected visual acuities (BCVA), distance-corrected near visual acuities (DCNVA), subjective accommodation using the defocus method, and pilocarpine-induced IOL mobility were measured.
RESULTSNo postoperative complications were noted in the study. Three months postoperation UCVA and BCVA were 20/40 or bettter in 82% (41/50) and 92% (46/50) of eyes, respectively; 66% (33/50) of the eyes had DCNVA of Jager (J) 4 or better at 3 months. In addition, the mean subjective accommodation was (0.94+/-0.61) diopters (D) (range from 0.50 to 1.50 D) and pilocarpine-induced IOL mobility was (337+/-124) microm (range from 121 to 501 microm) with the TetraFlex. High relationship (r2=0.901, P<0.01) was found between these two measurements.
CONCLUSIONImplantation of the TetraFlex is safe and leads to excellent uncorrected distance vision and good uncorrected near vision.

Korean Journal of Ophthalmology 2011;25(1):15-21
PURPOSE: To compare surgical results between conventional intraocular lens (IOL) implantation using an ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) and IOL implantation using a balanced salt solution (BSS) after irrigation/aspiration (I/A) of the lens cortex. METHODS: A randomized prospective study was conducted on 62 patients who underwent cataract surgery. Following completion of conventional I/A of the lens cortex, we divided patients into two groups according to whether or not BSS was used. In group A (n = 31), the anterior chamber and the capsular bag were completely filled with an OVD before IOL implantation. On the other hand, in group B (n = 31), BSS was irrigated into the anterior chamber through a previous side port during IOL implantation. Surgical results were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: In both groups, IOP peaked six hours after surgery. The occurrence of an IOP spike by postoperative day one was observed in six cases (6 / 31) in group A and in no cases (0 / 31) in group B, a difference that was statistically significant (p = 0.024). The values of endothelial cell density, central corneal thickness, anterior chamber inflammation, myopic shift, and posterior capsule opacification were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with the use of OVD for IOL implantation, use of BSS during IOL implantation resulted in reductions in postoperative IOP spike and OVD removal time.
