The overall risk of severe vision loss after orbital surgery is 0.84%. The subgroup risk is higher in patients undergoing facial polytrauma repair, optic canal decompression, or orbital apex surgery from an intracranial approach. Close postoperative monitoring and urgent assessment and management of acute vision loss may improve visual outcome in some patients.
Trimodality therapy was significantly associated with prolonged survival in patients with MPM, even when adjusting for baseline patient factors. Radiation therapy was associated with improved survival, but the modality of radiation therapy used was not associated with outcome.
Purpose:
To evaluate the prediction of postoperative anatomical lens position (ALP) using intraoperative spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) lens anatomy metrics in patients who underwent femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery.
Methods:
Intraoperative SD-OCT (Catalys; Johnson & Johnson Vision) and postoperative optical biometry (IOLMaster 700; Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) were used to assess anterior segment landmarks, including lens thickness, lens volume, anterior chamber depth, lens meridian position (LMP), and measured ALP. LMP was defined as the distance from the corneal epithelium to the lens equator, and ALP was defined as the distance from the corneal epithelium to the IOL surface. Eyes were divided into groups according to axial length (> 22.5 mm, 22.5 to 24.5 mm, and > 24.5 mm) and IOL type (Tecnis ZCB00 [Johnson & Johnson Vision]; AcrySof SN-60WF [Alcon Laboratories, Inc], or enVista MX60E [Bausch & Lomb]) to further analyze the correlation between LMP and ALP. Theoretical effective lens position was back-calculated using a specific formula. Primary outcome was correlation between postoperative measured ALP and LMP.
Results:
A total of 97 eyes were included in this study. Linear regression analysis displayed a statistically significant correlation between intraoperative LMP and postoperative ALP (
R
2
= 0.522;
P
< .01). No statistically significant correlation was observed between LMP and lens thickness (
R
2
= 0.039;
P
= .06) or between ALP and lens thickness (
R
2
= 0.02;
P
= .992). The greatest predictor for ALP was LMP (β = 0.766,
P
< .001;
R
2
= 0.523).
Conclusions:
Intraoperative SD-OCT–measured LMP correlated better than anterior chamber depth and axial length to postoperative ALP. Further studies are necessary to analyze the impact of preoperative or intraoperative LMP measurements on postoperative refractive outcomes.
