Protocols to determine cytotoxicity of intraocular medical devices should be revised to assure safety. Acute toxic events should be reported to health authorities and scientific media.

To evaluate the outcomes and safety of retropupillary iris-claw intraocular lens implantation and associated pars plana vitrectomy.Methods: Multicenter, national audit of 325 eyes (325 patients). Demographics, surgical details, and complications are described. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and central retinal thickness assessed by optical coherence tomography were collected at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Kaplan-Meier curves were created to assess the cumulative probability of postoperative visual acuity and intraocular pressure levels, macular edema development, and corneal decompensation.Results: The cumulative probability of the final visual acuity #0.3 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution ($20/40 Snellen) was 75.6% at 12-month follow-up. The probability of intraocular pressure .21, $25, and $30 mmHg was 48.1%, 33.1%, and 19.0%, and the probability of intraocular pressure-lowering drops was 50.9% at 12 months. Glaucoma surgery was required in 4.3% of the eyes (14/325). The cumulative probability of macular edema was 20.5% at 12 months and was greater in complicated cataract surgery than in intraocular lens-luxation eyes (26% vs. 16.7%, P = 0.04). Corneal transplantation was required in 2.8% of the eyes (9/325).Conclusion: This study on 325 eyes with aphakia or intraocular lens dislocation managed with the retropupillary iris-claw intraocular lens technique provides clinical outcomes in a real-world scenario, reporting relevant data for patient counseling and preoperative discussions.

resuMenobjetivo. Estudiar la prevalencia de retinopatía diabética mediante retinógrafo no midriático y valorar su utilidad como método de cribaje en la comarca de Donostialdea.Métodos. Se realizó un estudio prospectivo incluyendo 2.444 pacientes diabéticos derivados por su médico de atención primaria y/o endocrinólogo. Se realizó una retinografía con cámara no midriática en los 45 grados centrales, agudeza visual y tonómetro de no contacto en todos los pacientes. La información se derivó al hospital para ser evaluado por un oftalmólogo especialista en retina.resultados. El 15,02% de los pacientes eran diabéticos en tratamiento dietético, el 62,55% eran diabéticos no insulinodependientes y el 22,43% eran diabéticos insulinodependientes. Observamos una prevalencia de retinopatía diabética del 9,36%. El 5,27% presentó retinopatía diabética no proliferativa (RDNP) leve, el 2,21% RDNP moderada, el 1,67% RDNP severa y el 0,12% RD proliferativa. El 8,22% presentó hipertensión ocular.conclusiones. Se observa una baja prevalencia de RD en los pacientes de nuestra muestra. La utilización de telemedicina con cámara no midriática es un arma importante para el diagnóstico precoz de la retinopatía diabética y puede aplicarse a otras patologías oftalmológicas como el glaucoma.Palabras clave.

To establish the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (RD) diagnosed after non-mydriatic retinography and to evaluate its utility as a screening test in the area of San Sebastián. Methods.A prospective study including 2,444 diabetic patients sent by their primary attention doctors and/ or their endocrinologists. All patients underwent nonmydriatic retinography in the central 45 degrees; visual acuity was explored, as well as IOP through non-contact tonometry. The retinographies and information obtained were sent to our hospital and were revised by an ophthalmologist from the Retina Department.results. Fifteen point zero two (15.02%) of the patients suffered from diabetes and were under dietary treatment, 62.55% suffered from non-insulin-dependant diabetes, and 22.43% suffered from insulin-dependant diabetes. The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was 9.36%; 5.27% mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (DR); 2.21% moderate-non-proliferative DR; 1.67 % severe non-proliferative DR; and 0.05% proliferative-diabetic retinopathy. Eight point two two (8.22%) of the sample studied was diagnosed with ocular hypertension.conclusions. We observed a low prevalence of DR in our sample. Use of non-mydriatic retinopathy in telemedicine plays an important role in the early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy and it can be applied to other ophthalmic diseases.

Data from the Retina 1 Project established the indications for adding SB to PPV in treating primary RD in this series. No anatomic or visual differences between PPV and PPV+SB were found.
