Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the toxic effect and clinical characteristics of 1 mg/ml cefuroxime sodium on retinas after phacoemulsification in vitrectomized eyes. Methods: Cataract patients with vitrectomized eyes were studied retrospectively. Phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation was performed uneventfully. Best Corrected Visual Acuity(BCVA), intraocular pressure(IOP), fundus photography, macular central thickness, and angiography were collected and analyzed. They were studied in patients with macular edema to evaluate macular toxicity. Results: 92 cases (92 eyes) were enrolled, including 44 eyes of males and 48 eyes of females with an average age of 55.35 ± 12.32 years. Univariate analysis showed that the intraoperative use of balanced salt solution (BSS) containing 1 mg/ml cefuroxime sodium compound electrolyte and macular involvement in primary vitrectomy were important risk factors for macular edema on the first day after cataract surgery (P < 0.05). In addition, the characteristics of this kind of macular edema were studied; the thickness of macular fovea was significantly high at 1-day follow-up (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between pre-operation and 1-week post-operation (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Low-concentration cefuroxime sodium can cause acute macular edema in vitrectomized eyes, which can heal within one week after surgery.
Purpose: To analyze the incidence and outcomes of repositioning surgery to correct misalignment of several toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) after cataract surgery. Methods: In this retrospective study, patients who underwent repositioning surgery to correct misalignment of toric IOLs following cataract surgery between January 2019 and December 2021 were enrolled. The medical data on patients' age, gender, preoperative axial length, corneal astigmatism, the axis of astigmatism, IOL models, IOL axis, uncorrected distance visual acuity, residual refraction, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. Results: Among the 1135 eyes implanted with toric IOLs at Qingdao Eye Hospital, 23 (2.026%, 23/1135) underwent repositioning surgery. Univariate analysis revealed that the incidence of repositioning surgery was significantly lower with AcrySof (0.636%, 5/786) than with ZEISS (2.959%, 5/169) and TECNIS (7.222%, 13/180) IOL platforms; The incidence of repositioning surgery with monofocal toric IOLs (1.169%, 11/941) was significantly lower than multifocal toric IOLs (6.186%, 12/194) (P<0.001); Additionally, a significant difference in age was also observed (P=0.002). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that IOL platform (P=0.004) and younger age (P=0.006) were independent risk factors for repositioning surgery. Conclusion: The incidence of repositioning surgery of toric IOLs after cataract surgery was 2.026%. It was linked to the IOL platform, multifocal toric IOLs, and younger age.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
