In cases of cataract associated with pseudoexfoliation syndrome, implanting a CTR before phacoemulsification of the nucleus reduced intraoperative zonular separation, increased the rate of capsular IOL fixation, and improved UCVA.
Secondary iris claw intraocular lens implantation is clinically safe and effective to correct aphakia in vitrectomized eyes without capsular support. Larger studies with longer follow-up are warranted.
Twenty-five-gauge sutureless vitrectomy with oblique sclerotomies in primary treatment of noncomplex pseudophakic RRDs resulted in reattachment in 95.45% with single surgery, and in 100% with reoperation in one eye, accompanied by an increase in visual acuity in 86% of eyes.
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.
