OBJECTIVE: To evaluate formulas for intraocular lens (IOL) calculation in children undergoing lens extraction and IOL implantation.
METHODS: Retrospective, consecutive case series at the Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany. We included eyes that received lens extraction and IOL implantation (SN60AT, Alcon, Fort Worth, TX) due to congenital or juvenile cataract. Preoperative assessments included biometry (IOLMaster 500/700, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany). To evaluate the measurements, we compared the mean prediction error (MPE), mean and median absolute prediction error (MAE, MedAE) of six different formulas, and number of eyes within ± 0.5, ± 1.0, ± 2.0D of target refraction. Postoperative spherical equivalent was measured by retinoscopy 4-12 weeks after surgery.
RESULTS: 66 eyes matched our inclusion criteria with a mean age of 6.3 years ± 3.2. MedAE was lowest in SRK/T (0.55D ± 1.08) followed by Holladay I (0.75D ± 1.00), EVO 2.0 (0.80D ± 0.89), Barrett Universal II (BUII, 0.86D ± 1.00), Hoffer Q (0.97 D ± 0.94), and Haigis (1.10D ± 0.95). Regarding eyes within ± 0.5D SRK/T (45.5.%, 30 eyes) performed best, followed by Holladay I (36.4%, 24 eyes), EVO 2.0 and BUII (each 34.8%, 23 eyes). There was a myopic shift seen in all formulas (MPE: -0.21 to -0.90D).
CONCLUSIONS: Using modern formulas, or even AI formulas, for IOL calculation in children\'s eyes does barely improve predictability of the postoperative refraction. A myopic shift can be found for all formulas. However, specific formulas like SRK/T seem to better anticipate this.

To study the use of sulcus placement of a 3-piece intraocular lens (IOL) with optic capture in patients with exfoliation with zonular weakness.
Data on all exfoliation patients who had direct or indirect evidence of zonular weakness and had a 3-piece IOL implanted in the sulcus with optic capture over a 5-year period between January 2017 and January 2022 were included in this retrospective case series.
The study comprised of 35 eyes of 35 patients. The mean age at surgery of the 20 male and 13 female patients was 75.21 years ± 5.74 (standard deviation (SD)). The mean pupillary diameter was 5.77 ± 2.23 mm (range: 10 to 3 mm). A capsular tension ring (CTR) was used in 17 cases and iris hooks as a pupil-expanding device were used in 15 cases. No patients had an increase in inflammation after surgery and there were no late subluxation or dislocation of \"in the bag\" posterior chamber IOL or major complications. There was a significant improvement in visual acuity.
The sulcus placement of 3-piece IOL with optic capture is the ideal technique in patients with clinical or intraoperative evidence of mild to moderate zonular weakness. It may also be more appropriate in relatively younger patients (in the fifties or sixties) with exfoliation with no overt zonulopathy to prevent late subluxation or dislocation of \"in the bag\" IOL.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of sutureless capsular bag and intraocular lens (IOL) fixation with flattened, flanged intrascleral fixation technique in patients with large zonular dialysis.
METHODS: Fifty-five eyes of 51 patients who underwent flattened flanged intrascleral capsular bag and IOL fixation and optic capture for traumatic cataract, subluxated cataract, and pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) with zonular dialysis greater than 180° were included in the study. The main difference of this technique from the Yamane technique is that it has a flattened flange with sharp borders at the haptic tip. Uncorrected visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), astigmatism, endothelial cell loss, IOL tilt, and intraoperative and postoperative complications were evaluated.
RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 57.4 ± 15.1 years (range 18-83). Of the patients, 28 (55%) were male and 23 (45%) were female. The mean duration of follow-up after surgery was 19.3 ± 6.5 months (range 12-36). The mean preoperative and postoperative CDVA were 0.71 ± 0.16 logMAR and 0.13 ± 0.20 logMAR, respectively (p < 0.001). The mean preoperative and postoperative astigmatism were 2.0 ± 1.4 D and 1.0 ± 0.7 D, respectively (p < 0.001). The mean IOL tilt was 5.7° ± 5.2°. The mean endothelial cell loss was 9% (range 0.9-19.5). Anterior capsular phimosis was developed in 2 eyes (4%).
CONCLUSIONS: The flattened flanged intrascleral technique of the capsular bag combined with optic capture provides good visual outcomes, robust capsular bag-IOL fixation, and minimal adverse events. However, further studies with more patients are needed for long-term results.

Intraocular lens (IOL) exchange may be required after multifocal IOL implantation due to dissatisfaction. Late IOL exchange is more challenging when it is done with capsulotomy. We presented a retrospective case series study enrolling four consecutive eyes reviewing late IOL exchange due to decreased vision and dysphotopsia. High residual hyperopia, astigmatism, and IOL tilt occurred in 3 eyes, respectively. The mean time to the IOL exchange was 15.8 ± 10.63 months. After separation of the adhesions by visco-dissection assisted with a 27-gaze needle and sinskey hook, IOL was explanted. One-piece IOL was implanted in the bag in two eyes without posterior capsulotomy, whereas three-piece IOL was implanted in the sulcus after viscoelastic tamponade in the other 2 eyes with capsulotomy. No complication occurred and dysphotopsia disappeared. The mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution best-corrected visual acuity significantly improved from 0.33 ± 0.12 preoperatively to 0.11 ± 0.13 postoperatively. In conclusion, late IOL exchange could be safely performed with proper technique and achieve good results.

BACKGROUND: Optic capture of sutured scleral fixated posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PC IOLs) is an occasional complication resulting in blurred vision and discomfort.
METHODS: A retrospective study of the management of 18 eyes (3.6%) with optic capture out of 495 eyes with scleral fixated IOLs during the study period. 54 procedures were performed in the management of optic capture of sutured scleral fixated PC IOLs. An in-office technique was utilized to relieve the optic capture by repositioning the optic posterior to the iris. This technique was performed after topical anesthesia and topical 5% betadine with the patient stably positioned at the slit lamp. Using a 30-gauge needle, sometimes after a 15-degree paracentesis blade, the needle was advanced in a parallel plane above the iris until the tip reached the edge of the captured optic. The optic is engaged in the inferior periphery away from the central visual axis, and pushed gently posteriorly just enough to reposition the optic posterior to the iris. In some cases, pilocarpine 2% drops were utilized after the procedure to decrease the risk of recapture of the optic.
RESULTS: All 54 procedures were successfully performed in the office without significant pain or discomfort. Vision before optic capture, during optic capture, and at the first office visit after optic capture were comparable. There were not any cases of endophthalmitis, hyphema, iris trauma, iris prolapse or keratitis. While eight patients only had one episode of optic capture, 10 patients had multiple episodes of optic capture, all managed with this in office procedure. Recurrent optic capture occurred more frequently in eyes with fixation at less than 2 mm from the limbus than eyes with scleral fixation at 2 mm from the limbus.
CONCLUSIONS: Reposition of the optic after pupillary capture of a scleral fixated PC IOL can be successfully performed in the office without discomfort or significant complications and is an alternative management option to a return to the operating room. This procedure may be especially important when there is poor access to the operating room or restricted access to the operating room as during the COVID19 pandemic.

We describe the technique of posterior optic capture without anterior vitrectomy in two difficult cases of pediatric cataract. We demonstrate how a three-piece foldable intraocular lens can be maneuvered behind the posterior capsule after an improvised posterior capsulotomy. This technique provided excellent intraocular lens (IOL) stability with the absence of lens epithelial cell proliferation in infants with altered posterior capsule morphology.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare refractive deviations between in-the-bag insertion, trans-scleral ciliary sulcus fixation, ciliary sulcus insertion, and ciliary sulcus insertion with optic capture after phacovitrectomy.
METHODS: Single-unit, single-surgeon, retrospective study.
METHODS: Consecutive patients who underwent phacovitrectomy and intraocular lens (IOL) out-of-the-bag insertion simultaneously were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent phacovitrectomy with IOL in-the-bag insertion were also included for comparison with those who underwent phacovitrectomy with out-of-the-bag insertion. Patients were classified into four groups based on the IOL insertion method. The average difference from the target spherical equivalent (SE) to postoperative SE was defined as the refractive deviation. Refractive deviations of the groups were compared.
RESULTS: The refractive deviation for the in-the-bag insertion (43 eyes) was -0.18 ± 0.50 Df, -0.84 ± 0.81 D for the trans-scleral ciliary sulcus fixation (43 eyes), -0.93 ± 0.68 D for the ciliary sulcus insertion (25 eyes), and -0.27 ± 0.50 D for the ciliary sulcus insertion with optic capture group (24 eyes). The trans-scleral ciliary sulcus fixation and ciliary sulcus insertion groups had significantly different deviations than the in-the-bag group (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the ciliary sulcus insertion with optic capture and the in-the-bag insertion groups (p = 0.100).
CONCLUSIONS: Refractive deviation was significantly different between the eyes that underwent trans-scleral ciliary sulcus fixation or ciliary sulcus insertion and the eyes that underwent in-the-bag insertion. However, there was no significant deviation among the eyes that underwent ciliary sulcus insertion with optic capture.

Objective: To observe the preliminary clinical effect of intraocular lens optic capture through posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis in the treatment of pediatric cataract. Methods: It was a retrospective case series study. Forty-three eyes of 28 children underwent posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis with posterior chamber intraocular lens optic capture to treat cataract from June 2017 to October 2018 in Qingdao Eye Hospital. Postoperative best corrected visual acuity, diopters, intraocular pressure, the position of intraocular lens, and postoperative complications were assessed. The distribution of preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity was analyzed by Fisher\'s exact probability test. Results: Twenty-eight patients were 14 females and 14 males aged from 2 years old to 12 years old [mean age, (7±4) years]. All intraocular lenses were successfully captured in the posterior capsule. Patients were followed-up for 6.0 to 12.0 months (mean, 8.4 months). Except 2 eyes from one uncooperative child, the distribution of preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity (<0.1, 0.1-<0.3, 0.3-<0.5, ≥0.5) had a significant difference (17, 17, 4, 3 eyes vs. 4, 4, 5, 28 eyes, P<0.01). At the last postoperative follow-up visit, the mean spherical equivalent was (0.21±0.74) D. Transient intraocular hypertension occurred in 3 eyes at 1 week after surgery and was controlled with stopping the use of corticosteroid eyedrops. No visual axis opacification or intraocular lens decentration or tilt was observed during the follow-up period. No other complications such as iris synechia, secondary glaucoma, retinal detachment, and cystoid macular edema were observed. Conclusions: Posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis with intraocular lens optic capture is a safe and effective technique to treat pediatric cataract. It has a significant effect on the prevention of visual axis opacification after cataract surgery in children. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2020, 56: 343-348).

To assess the role of surgical peripheral iridectomy (PI) in preventing iris-related complications associated with glued intraocular lens (GIOL) surgery in children with bilateral ectopia lentis.
Nonrandomized interventional case series of 34 eyes of 17 children (<15 years of age) who underwent pars plana lensectomy (PPL) and GIOL surgery between January 2013 and December 2016. Eyes with surgical PI (January 2013-June 2015) were compared with those without surgical PI (July 2015-December 2016). The primary outcome measure of the role of surgical PI in GIOL surgery was to account for complications such as optic capture, secondary glaucoma, intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation, or repeat surgery. The secondary outcomes were changes in the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
The mean age at surgery was 8.8 years (range: 3.5-15 years). Surgical PI was conducted in 15 eyes. Among the 19 eyes without PI, 9 eyes had complications (optic capture -6; rise in IOP -4; IOL subluxation -4; repeat surgery -5). The complications were significantly less in the PI group, P = 0.02. There was a statistically significant improvement in BCVA (P = 0.0001) in all the patients. The mean presenting BCVA was 0.99 (±0.79) logMAR (Snellen ≈ 20/200) and post BCVA was 0.40 (±0.50) (Snellen ≈ 20/50). The mean preoperative refraction was - 9 D (±8D) (range: -5 D to -23D) and postoperative was -1 (±1.15) D. The mean follow-up was 25.4 months.
Surgical PI along with GIOL surgery in children undergoing PPL is shown to reduce optic-capture-related complications.
