Weighing pros, cons of IOL implantation in pediatric cataract
May 1st 2016IOL implantation was associated with more inflammation and slightly more visual obscuration in 120 children age 2 or younger undergoing bilateral cataract surgery. However, the rate of glaucoma was similar compared with an aphakic group.

IOL centration stable 30 days after implantation, study confirms
February 19th 2016Ophthalmologists spend significant amounts of time during cataract surgery trying to precisely center an implanted IOL to achieve the best possible vision after surgery. The high success rate of cataract surgery suggests that in most cases, they succeed.

Glued IOL technique favored for securing dislocated IOL
January 1st 2016The glued IOL technique introduced by Amar Agarwal, MD, is an effective method for repositioning a dislocated 3-piece IOL in eyes without adequate capsular support, and it has advantages compared with suturing, according to Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD, founding partner, Ophthalmic Consultants of Long Island and Connecticut, Garden City, NY.

Novel trifocal IOL extends range of vision
December 1st 2015A new non-apodized diffractive trifocal IOL allows 88% energy utilization and sends energy to near (40 cm), a preferred intermediate distance (60 cm), and far (infinity). Early results for visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and photopic symptoms are encouraging.

Fluid-filled accommodating IOL maintains benefits after 2 years
November 15th 2015Implantation of a silicone oil-filled accommodating IOL (FluidVision, PowerVision) provides 3 to 4 D of accommodation along with excellent distance, intermediate, and near vision-all of which remain stable during follow-up to 2 years, said Louis D. Nichamin, MD.

IOLs in cataract surgery – do the risks outweigh the benefits in infants?
September 1st 2015This article presents recent epidemiological findings outlining the association between cataract surgery, potential visual acuity gains, glaucoma and the risk of undergoing additional general anaesthesia in under 2s. The authors of the original study concluded that use of IOLs in cataract surgery in young children should be critically reassessed, particularly in settings/communities where close, long-term follow-up is challenging.

Clinical Round Up: No glaucoma protection from primary IOL placement in children
August 27th 2015In this month's Clinical Round Up, Sharon Freedman, MD, discusses results of the Infant Aphasia Treatment Study, and how it found there is no glaucoma protection from primary IOL placement in children. Additionally, Barbara Parolini, MD, discusses the new hope for better myopic traction maculopathy outcomes.

Comparing PCO and glistenings in 2 hydrophobic IOLs: 3-year results
June 10th 2015In this article, Dr Johannson presents intraindividual IOL comparison follow-up results. Although similar levels of PCO development were observed for both AcrySof and Tecnis one-piece IOLs, fewer glistenings appeared in the Tecnis material, 3 years after implantation.

Capsule opacification with 2 different IOLs: 3-year results
June 10th 2015This follow-up study found anterior capsule opacification development and anterior capsule retraction to be more frequent 3 years after cataract surgery when an IOL with interrupted sharp optic edge at the optic–haptic junction is implanted, compared with an IOL with a continuous edge.
