IOL power in short eyes

5 April 2022 | | Cataract and Refractive | IOL power, IOLMaster, axial length, calculation, formulas

Prospective analysis of 269 eyes of 269 patients between 2017 and 2020, with axial length (AL) of 22mm or less. New principles for calculating IOL power were recently developed, including formulas based on paraxial ray-tracing (Barrett and Olsen) and based...

Cystoid macular oedema following retinal detachment surgery

5 April 2022 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Cystoid macular edema, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, vitreoretinal surgery

There are limited studies examining the incidence and risk factors for postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CMO) following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. Postoperative CMO is thought to be due to pro-inflammatory state, where numerous cytokines lead to tight junction dysfunction,...

Foveal displacement after macular hole surgery

5 April 2022 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Foveal displacement, internal limiting membrane peeling, metamorphopsia, papillofoveal distance, temporal inverted internal limiting membrane flap

Previous studies show that internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during macular hole surgery is associated with retinal shrinkage (microtubule depolymerization of the axons of the inner retina) and nasal shift of the fovea. A temporal inverted ILM flap technique was...
