Refractive outcomes using Barrett formulas and patient characteristics of cataract surgery patients with and without prior LASIK/PRK. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2024; 262:2937-2944. [PMID: 38558260 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-024-06456-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of this study is to describe characteristics of cataract surgery patients who previously underwent laser in situ keratomileusis/photorefractive keratectomy (LASIK/PRK) in comparison to non-LASIK/PRK cataract surgery patients including psychiatric comorbidities, as well as describe refractive prediction error after cataract surgery while accounting for axial length (AL) using the Barrett True-K and Barrett Universal II formulas. METHODS This was a retrospective study of patients from the University of Colorado Cataract Outcomes Registry. The primary outcomes were refraction prediction error (RPE), mean absolute RPE, and median absolute RPE. Outcomes were stratified by five axial length groups. Univariate and multivariate models for RPE were stratified by the AL group. RESULTS Two hundred eighty-one eyes with prior LASIK/PRK and 3101 eyes without are included in the study. Patients with prior LASIK/PRK were significantly younger: 67.0 vs 69.9 years, p < 0.0001. The LASIK/PRK group had significantly better mean pre-operative BCVA in comparison to the non-LASIK group, logMAR 0.204 vs logMAR 0.288, p = 0.003. The LASIK/PRK group had significantly lower rates of cardiovascular disease (18.5% vs 29.3%, p < 0.001), hypertension (49.1% vs 59.3%, p < 0.012), and type 2 diabetes (10.7% vs 26.0%, p < 0.001), and no significant difference in psychiatric disease. The absolute RPE was higher for the LASIK group for all ALs, but only significantly higher for eyes with AL less than 25 mm. CONCLUSION Patient eyes with prior LASIK/PRK surgery undergoing cataract surgery were significantly younger, had significantly less comorbidities, and a significantly better pre-operative BCVA. Using the Barrett formulas, absolute prediction error for eyes with longer ALs was not significantly worse for LASIK/PRK eyes than those without and the difference was smaller for eyes with longer AL.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare refractive outcomes in eyes undergoing cataract extraction (CE) alone, CE with goniotomy (CE/goniotomy), and CE with Schlemm's canal stent (CE/SCS) insertion. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS Eyes from the Bascom Palmer Glaucoma Repository undergoing CE/goniotomy, CE/SCS insertion, or uncomplicated CE alone between July 2014 and February 2022 were identified. METHODS Refraction data were analyzed at postoperative month (POM) 1 and 6 with Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's tests. Anisometropia was defined as a spherical equivalent (SE) difference of ≥2D. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was mean refraction at POM1 and POM6 across the 3 surgical groups. Secondary outcomes were comparisons of refraction and visual acuity (VA) among different goniotomy and Schlemm's canal stent (SCS) devices, as well as incidence of anisometropia. RESULTS A total of 8360 eyes (150 CE/goniotomy, 395 CE/SCS, and 7815 CE alone) from 6059 patients were analyzed. At POM1, mean SE in the CE/goniotomy, CE/SCS, and CE alone groups was -0.36 ± 0.91D, -0.31 ± 0.85D, and -0.39 ± 0.88D respectively (P = 0.019). Mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution VA was 0.10 ± 0.20, 0.08 ± 0.19, and 0.14 ± 0.26 respectively (P = 0.002, CE/SCS vs. CE alone). No statistically significant differences were noted at POM6. Anisometropia occurred at POM1 in 2 patients (13.3%) in the CE/goniotomy-CE group, 1 patient (3.2%) in the CE/SCS-CE group, and 184 patients (4.9%) in the CE-CE group (P = 0.217). At POM6, mean SEs were -0.38 ± 0.97D (CE/goniotomy), -0.35 ± 0.81D (CE/SCS), and -0.40 ± 0.91D (CE alone; P = 0.473). No significant differences in overall refractive outcomes were observed with different SCS or goniotomy devices. Among primary open-angle glaucoma/normal-tension glaucoma eyes, mean SE at POM1 was -0.36 ± 0.73D (CE/goniotomy), -0.24 ± 0.84D (CE/SCS), and -0.45 ± 0.81D (CE alone; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Concurrent SCS insertion or goniotomy with CE was associated with some statistically significant differences in postoperative refraction and VA, although these small magnitude differences were unlikely to be clinically meaningful.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) and axial length (AL) and to compare the refractive predicted error in patients who have undergone cataract surgery alone or in combination with trabeculotomy. SETTING Hospital. DESIGN Single-center, retrospective, case-control. METHODS The medical records of patients who had undergone cataract surgery alone or in combination with trabeculotomy using the Tanito microhook were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were grouped into cataract surgery alone (CAT) or cataract surgery combined with trabeculotomy (LOT) groups. Demographic data, preoperative and postoperative IOP and AL, and surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) were analyzed before and 1 month postoperatively to evaluate the interplay between IOP, AL, and refractive outcomes. RESULTS 52 eyes (52 patients) underwent LOT, and 67 eyes (67 patients) underwent CAT. The mean IOP at baseline did not differ between the groups; the change in IOP (dIOP) was significantly higher in the LOT group than in the CAT group. The mean AL at baseline and the change in AL (dAL) were 24.0 ± 1.2 mm and 0.16 ± 0.11 mm, respectively, in the LOT group, and 23.8 ± 1.1 mm and 0.11 ± 0.070 mm, respectively, in the CAT group. The difference in dAL was also significant. In the LOT group, dIOP and dAL were significantly correlated. The mean SIA vectors did not significantly differ between the groups. CONCLUSIONS AL decreased because of the reduction in IOP after cataract surgery combined with trabeculotomy. Consequently, the refractive target error was greater, and the postoperative refractive outcome showed a tendency toward hyperopia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the visual and refractive outcomes in patients with pseudoexfoliation (PXF) undergoing routine cataract surgery and to compare the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulae. METHODS Retrospective case-series study from Shamir medical center, a public hospital, Israel. Medical records of patients who underwent routine cataract surgery between January 2019 and August 2021 were investigated. Postoperative visual acuity and manifest refraction were examined. The error in predicted refraction and IOL power calculation accuracy within a range of ± 0.50 to ± 1.00 diopters were compared between different IOL calculating formulae. RESULTS 151 eyes of 151 patients ages 73.9 ± 7.1 years were included in this study- 58 eyes in the PXF group and 93 eyes in the control group. The mean absolute error (MAE) for the BUII formula was 0.63D ± 0.87 for the PXF group and 0.36D ± 0.48 for the control group (p < 0.05). The MAE for the Hill-RBF 3.0 formula was 0.61D ± 0.84 for the PXF group and 0.42D ± 0.55 for the control group (p = 0.05). There were significant differences in MAE and MedAE between PXF group and control group measures (p < 0.05). In the PXF group there were no significant differences between the different formulae. CONCLUSIONS There were significant differences in accuracy of IOL power calculations in all formulae between PXF group and control group measures. PXF patients show hyperopic shift from predicted refraction. Barret universal II formula had the highest proportion of eyes with absolute error in prediction below or equal to 0.50 D in both PXF and control groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report medium-term visual acuity and refractive outcomes of patients with pseudoexfoliation implanted with toric or multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients with pseudoexfoliation who had undergone phacoemulsification between 2016 and 2020 with at least 24 months follow-up. RESULTS Mean follow-up was 44.17 ± 14.95 months. Toric IOLs were implanted in 48 eyes: mean uncorrected LogMAR visual acuity one month after surgery was 0.03 ± 0.09, decreasing to 0.08 ± 0.11 at the last visit (p = .01). Mean refractive cylinder was -0.12 ± 0.36 diopters one month after surgery and -0.25 ± 0.44 diopters at the last follow-up visit, p = .012. Multifocal IOLs were implanted in 42 patients: binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity was -0.02 ± 0.04 one month after surgery and 0.01 ± 0.05 at the last visit (p = .004); near acuity was 0.01 ± 0.03 and 0.04 ± 0.06 respectively (p = .001). In eyes with pseudoexfoliation, absolute spherical equivalent prediction error was 0.22 ± 0.20 diopters for toric and 0.21 ± 0.19 diopters for multifocal IOLs. One month after surgery 68.6% of eyes with toric IOLs and 74.2% of eyes with multifocal IOLs were within ±0.25 diopters of target spherical equivalent and 91.6% and 90.5% were within ±0.5 diopters, respectively. Spherical equivalent did not change significantly during follow-up for either group. CONCLUSION Prediction error in eyes with pseudoexfoliation implanted with toric or multifocal IOLs was low and similar to values reported for normal eyes. Postoperative refractive cylinder with toric IOLs was low, with little change during follow-up. Visual function in patients receiving multifocal IOLs was excellent. Therefore, the implantation of these IOLs in eyes with pseudoexfoliation does not seem to cause medium-term problems.

Evaluation of changes of anterior segment parameters in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome after cataract surgery using anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Sci Rep 2024; 14:8279.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the anterior segment parameters after cataract surgery in pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) and control eyes. We conducted a prospective comparative study of 36 eyes (PEX group), 16 eyes (PEXG group) and 46 eyes (control group) of 98 patients after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. Before surgery, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively, anterior chamber parameters were evaluated by swept source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Anterior chamber depth (ACD), angle opening distance (AOD500/750), trabecular-iris space area (TISA500/750), trabecular-iris angle (TIA500/750) and lens vault (LV) were assessed at each study visit. Preoperatively, ACD, AOD500/750 and TISA500/750 were significantly smaller, while LV was significantly greater in PEX and PEXG eyes than in controls. 3 months postoperatively all irido-corneal parameters and ACD were significantly greater in all study groups without intergroup differences. ACD and LV significantly increased in PEX group between 1 and 3 months after surgery while being stable in control group. Relative increases in ACD, AOD500, TISA750, TIA500/750 were significantly higher in PEX and PEXG groups than in controls. Our study finds that ACD and iridocorneal parameters in AS-OCT demonstrated significantly greater relative increases 3 months after phacoemulsification in PEX and PEXG groups than in control eyes. Significantly greater deepening of anterior chamber and opening of the irido-corneal angle may be a reason for different refractive outcomes and IOP control in patients with PEX and PEXG after routine cataract surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the effect of ocular biomechanics on the prediction error of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation. SETTING Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto, Porto, Portugal. DESIGN Prospective longitudinal study. METHODS This study included 67 subjects. Before cataract surgery subjects underwent biometry with IOLMaster 700 and biomechanical analysis with Corvis Scheimpflug technology. The targeted spherical equivalent was calculated with SRK-T and Barrett Universal II. Associations between prediction error (PE), absolute prediction error (AE), and biometric and biomechanical parameters were performed with stepwise multivariate linear correlation analysis. RESULTS Using the SRKT formula, there was association between PE and Corvis Biomechanical Index (CBI, B = -0.531, P = .011) and between AE and the horizontal offset between the center of the pupil and the visual axis (angle κ, B = -0.274, P = .007). Considering the Barret Universal II formula, PE was independently associated with anterior chamber depth ( B = -0.279, P = .021) and CBI ( B = -0.520, P = .013) and AE was associated with angle κ ( B = -0.370, P = .007). CONCLUSIONS A large angle κ may reduce the predictability of IOL power calculation. Ocular biomechanics likely influence the refractive outcomes after IOL implantation. This study showed that eyes with softer corneal biomechanics had more myopic PE. This may relate to anteriorization of the effective lens position. Dynamic measurements may be the way to progress into future formulas.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to report visual and refractive outcomes in eyes that underwent intraocular lens (IOL) fixation in the absence of capsular support. METHODS This was a retrospective chart review of cases undergoing posterior chamber iris-fixated IOL (IFIOL) and scleral-fixated IOL (SFIOL) implants from June 2014 to March 2020 with more than 3 months of follow-up and having a preoperative best-corrected visual acuity of 20/80 and more. RESULTS Records of 120 eyes of 112 patients were reviewed. The mean age of the patients was 46.9 ± 22.3 (14.4-98.0) years, and 62% (n = 70) of participants were male. Most of the eyes (102: 85%) were aphakic at the time of surgery. The mean follow-up was 22.95 ± 17.1 months. The efficacy index of sutured IFIOL and glued SFIOL outperformed sutured SFIOL at 3 months and final visits postoperatively (P < 0.001). All techniques studied here resulted in a similar safety index at 3 months (P = 0.4). The mean predictive error (postoperative spherical equivalent refraction minus intended target refraction) was +0.07 ± 1.5 D and -0.12 ± 1.4 D at 3 months and the final postoperative visit, respectively. CONCLUSION The studied techniques have relatively good visual and refractive outcomes in this series. In addition, techniques involving a small corneal incision with foldable IOL fixation to the iris or scleral tissue have superior efficacy and safety indices compared to creating large corneoscleral wounds for rigid IOL fixation techniques.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of miosis and laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) on intraocular lens (IOL) power prediction and ocular biometry in eyes with primary angle closure disease (PACD). METHODS In this prospective observational study, primary angle closure suspects (PACS), and subjects classified with primary angle closure (PAC)/primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) undergoing LPI were enrolled. Ocular biometric parameters were measured with IOLMaster700 at baseline (T0), one week after pilocarpine instillation (T1), and another week post LPI (T2). Biometric changes and the IOL power predicted for emmetropia using Barrett Universal II, Haigis, Holladay2, Hoffer Q and SRK/T formulae were analysed and compared among different time points. RESULTS 100 eyes of 50 PACS and 50 PAC/PACG patients were enrolled. Following pilocarpine-induced miosis, lens thickness (LT) increased and anterior chamber depth (ACD) decreased (all groups p < 0.01), while white-to-white diameter decreased and central corneal thickness increased significantly only in the PACS cohort (both p < 0.01). Compared to baseline, LPI induced an increase of ACD and a slight decrease of LT in PACS (both p < 0.01), whereas only axial length changed significantly (p = 0.012) in the PAC/PACG cohort. Regardless of the formula used, no significant difference to the predicted IOL power for emmetropia existed among the three time points in each group (all p > 0.1). CONCLUSION We report the changes of anterior segment parameters induced by miosis and LPI in PACD. These interventions do not significantly affect the IOL power calculation predicted for emmetropia in Chinese eyes when common third-, fourth-and new generation IOL formulae are used.

Hong ASY, Ang BCH, Dorairaj E, Dorairaj S. Premium Intraocular Lenses in Glaucoma-A Systematic Review. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:993. [PMID: 37760095 PMCID: PMC10525961 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10090993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The incidence of both cataract and glaucoma is increasing globally. With increasing patient expectation and improved technology, premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), including presbyopia-correcting and toric IOLs, are being increasingly implanted today. However, concerns remain regarding the use of premium IOLs, particularly presbyopia-correcting IOLs, in eyes with glaucoma. This systematic review evaluates the use of premium IOLs in glaucoma. A comprehensive search of the MEDLINE database was performed from inception until 1 June 2023. Initial search yielded 1404 records, of which 12 were included in the final review of post-operative outcomes. Studies demonstrated high spectacle independence for distance and good patient satisfaction in glaucomatous eyes, with positive outcomes also in post-operative visual acuity, residual astigmatism, and contrast sensitivity. Considerations in patient selection include anatomical and functional factors, such as the type and severity of glaucomatous visual field defects, glaucoma subtype, presence of ocular surface disease, ocular changes after glaucoma surgery, and the reliability of disease monitoring, all of which may be affected by, or influence, the outcomes of premium IOL implantation in glaucoma patients. Regular reviews on this topic are needed in order to keep up with the rapid advancements in IOL technology and glaucoma surgical treatments.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the role of a new parameter, iris root depth (IRD), in intraocular lens power calculation using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in primary angle-closure diseases (PACDs), and to compare the accuracy of 6 formulas in PACDs: Barrett Universal II (BUII), Haigis, Hill-Radial Basis Function (RBF) v. 3.0, Hoffer Q, Kane and Sanders Retzlaff Kraff/Theoretical (SRK)/T. SETTING Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Guangzhou, China. DESIGN Retrospective consecutive case series. METHODS Patients diagnosed with PACDs who had undergone cataract surgery were reviewed to first evaluate the performance of 6 formulas. Then preoperative UBM examinations of 58 eyes were used to measure IRD and predict effective lens position (ELP) to generate the Haigis IRD formula. The accuracy of Haigis IRD was compared with BUII, Haigis and Kane formulas. The SD of predicted error was the main indicator evaluating formula performance, according to heteroscedastic analysis. RESULTS 103 eyes (103 patients) were included. The SDs of Kane (0.59, P = .01), RBF 3.0 (0.61, P = .02) and SRK/T formula (0.62, P = .04) were significantly lower than Hoffer Q. Modified with IRD, Haigis IRD generated the lowest SD (0.41), which was significantly lower than Haigis formula (0.54, P = .03) and was equal to Kane formula (0.45, P = .37). CONCLUSIONS Kane, RBF 3.0 and SRK/T were more accurate in PACD eyes. Optimized with IRD, Haigis IRD formula achieved the lowest SD and had comparable accuracy with Kane formula. IRD could be a promising parameter to improve accuracy of IOL power calculation for PACDs.

Abstract
PRCIS The pseudoexfoliation glaucoma group produced higher mean absolute error (MAE) and higher percentages of large-magnitude prediction error, in all investigated intraocular lens formulas. Postoperative anterior chamber angle and change in intraocular pressure (IOP) were associated with absolute error. PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate refractive outcomes of cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG) and to determine the predictive factors for refractive errors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-four eyes with PXG, 33 eyes with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and 58 normal eyes undergoing phacoemulsification, in Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, were included in this prospective study. The follow-up was 3 months. Preoperative and postoperative anterior segment parameters measured by Scheimpflug camera were compared after adjusting for age, sex, and axial length. The mean prediction error, MAE, and percentages of large-magnitude prediction error (>±1.0 D) in SRK/T, Barrett Universal II, and Hill-RBF formulas were compared. RESULTS There was a significantly greater anterior chamber angle (ACA) enlargement in PXG eyes compared with POAG ( P =0.006) and normals ( P =0.04). The PXG group showed significantly higher MAE in SRK/T, Barrett Universal II, and Hill-RBF (0.72, 0.79, and 0.79 D, respectively) than POAG (0.43, 0.25, and 0.31 D, respectively) and normals (0.34, 0.36, 0.31 D, respectively) ( P <0.0001). The large-magnitude error was significantly more frequent in the PXG group among the 3 groups with SRK/T (37%, 18%, and 12%, respectively) ( P =0.005), Barrett Universal II (32%, 9%, and 10%, respectively) ( P =0.005), and Hill-RBF (32%, 9%, and 9%, respectively) ( P =0.002). The MAE was correlated with postoperative ACA and IOP decrease in Barrett Universal II ( P =0.02 and 0.007, respectively) and Hill-RBF ( P =0.03 and 0.02, respectively). CONCLUSIONS PXG may be a predictor for refractive surprise after cataract surgery. Prediction errors may be due to IOP-lowering effect of surgery and larger postoperative ACA than expected, in the presence of zonular weakness.

Early Lensectomy in Patients With Pseudoexfoliation: Long-Term Effectiveness and Safety Outcomes. J Glaucoma 2023; 32:93-100. [PMID: 36696356 DOI: 10.1097/ijg.0000000000002158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
PRCIS Early lensectomy in patients presenting pseudoexfoliation (PXF) in an asymmetric clinical stage resulted in effective, safe, and predictable long-term results. Good intraocular pressure (IOP) was found, thus it might be considered as a possible surgical approach in these patients. PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term effectiveness, predictability, and safety of cataract surgery performed in patients with capsular PXF at an early stage of the disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective, comparative study included PXF patients who underwent phacoemulsification with hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens implantation in both eyes with a postoperative follow-up ≥5 years. Patients were classified in 2 groups: symmetric PXF (n=102) and asymmetric PXF (n=59). Preoperative and postoperative uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity, manifest refraction, IOP, number of hypotensive drugs, visual field mean deviation, and the incidence of complications were registered. RESULTS The mean follow-up time was 8.5±2.8 years. Six months after cataract surgery, monocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity were 0.3±0.4 and 0.1±0.3 logMAR, respectively, for the symmetric PXF, and 0.2±0.2 and 0.1±0.2 logMAR, respectively, for the asymmetric group. Total 95% and 96% of eyes were within ±1.00D in symmetric and asymmetric groups, respectively. At the final follow-up, IOP decreased only in the asymmetric group (P=0.004), with a reduction in the number of medications in both eyes (P<0.001). Mean deviation changed from -8.8 to -11.6 dB in the symmetric group (P<0.001), and from -5.0±6.2 to -7.9±10.6 dB (P=0.42) in the asymmetric group. Intraoperative complications were only registered in the symmetric group: 7 (3.4%; P=0.04). Ten cases (4.9%) of late intraocular lens dislocation were found, all from the symmetric group (P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS Early lensectomy in patients with PXF before its symmetric presentation resulted in effective, safe, and predictable long-term results.

Refractive outcomes of toric intraocular lens in combined trabecular micro bypass stent implantation and cataract surgery in glaucomatous eyes. Int Ophthalmol 2022; 42:2711-2718. [PMID: 35355170 DOI: 10.1007/s10792-022-02259-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of trabecular micro bypass stents (iStent Inject) on refractive outcomes with toric intraocular lens (IOL) in glaucomatous eyes. METHODS We identified glaucomatous eyes receiving a toric IOL between October 2017 and December 2020. Eyes with iStent implantation were included in the study group and eyes undergoing isolated phacoemulsification served as controls. Corrected and uncorrected visual acuity, manifest refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), and number of hypotensive drugs three months after surgery were evaluated. RESULTS 26 eyes comprised the study group and 41 eyes the control group. Mean postoperative refractive cylinder was 0.26D in the control and 0.11D in the iStent group, with 63% and 85% of eyes with a cylinder of 0 and 85% and 92% of eyes with a cylinder ≤ 0.5D respectively. The mean absolute difference between target and outcome spherical equivalent was 0.26D in the control and 0.22D in the iStent group, with all eyes within 0.75D of target. LogMar uncorrected postoperative vision in eyes targeted for emmetropia was 0.04 in the control and 0.03 in the iStent group. There was a statistically significant reduction in IOP and number of hypotensive drugs in both groups, with a mean decrease in IOP of 8.6% in the control and 15.7% in the iStent group. The number of hypotensive drugs dropped from 1.63 ± 0.80 to 1.34 ± 0.91 in the control group and from 2.12 ± 0.65 to 0.44 ± 0.71 in the iStent group. CONCLUSION Toric IOLs provide predictable refractive outcomes in glaucomatous eyes undergoing combined phacoemulsification with iStent implantation, reducing postoperative spectacle dependence.

Abstract
Background To propose that possible alteration or damage to the ciliary zonules during uncomplicated endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) can cause complications in subsequent filtration surgery. Case presentation We present two cases with uncomplicated primary combined phacoemulsification and ECP that underwent subsequent trabeculectomy. Both cases were complicated with vitreous prolapse during the trabeculectomy procedure. We review the anatomy of the ciliary zonules and their spatial relationship with the ciliary processes targeted during ECP and propose an association between ECP, zonular damage and complications in subsequent trabeculectomy such as vitreous prolapse. Conclusions Damage to ciliary zonules during ECP may not manifest until subsequent glaucoma filtration surgery. In patients who received prior ECP, we may consider taking preventative measures to avoid associated complications such as vitreous prolapse. Patients with known risk factors for weak zonules may consider choosing alternative intraocular pressure-lowering means.

Abstract
A 73-year-old man with an ocular history of inactive age-related macular degeneration and chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG) in both eyes recently underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery/phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with simultaneous Hydrus microstent (Ivantis, Inc.) implantation in the left eye. Although there was some reported subincisional iris prolapse due to intraoperative floppy iris, the case was otherwise uneventful according to the referring surgeon. Two months postoperatively, he was referred to our office for a myopic surprise of approximately 2.0 diopters (D) in the left eye (Figure 1JOURNAL/jcrs/04.03/02158034-202202000-00022/figure1/v/2022-01-26T192641Z/r/image-tiff). Of note, he has a distant history of acute ACG and complicated cataract surgery in the right eye with a failed trabeculectomy. He subsequently had laser peripheral iridoplasty to pull the iris away from the angle in the right eye (Figure 2JOURNAL/jcrs/04.03/02158034-202202000-00022/figure2/v/2022-01-26T192641Z/r/image-tiff). His topical intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering medications at presentation included dorzolamide-timolol 1 drop twice daily in the left eye and 1 drop of timolol in the right eye once daily. His past medical history is significant for hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia, and his oral medications include Tamsulosin (Flomax), Irbasartan (Avapro), and Atenolol. On examination, he had an UCDVA of 20/20 in the right eye and 20/80 in the left eye, and a BCDVA of 20/20 in the right eye and 20/25 in the left eye. His manifest refraction was plano in the right eye and 1.50 -0.75 × 90 in the left eye. IOP measured 19 mm Hg in the right eye and 26 mm Hg in the left eye. Pupil examination revealed a nonreactive pupil in the right eye and a round sluggish pupil in the left eye without an obvious relative afferent pupillary defect. Extraocular motility and confrontational visual fields were full in both eyes. On slitlamp examination, pertinent findings included the following: 1+ corneal guttata without edema in both eyes; anterior chambers were shallow but adequate in both eyes with scattered peripheral anterior synechiae in the right eye and a uniformly shallow but adequate chamber in the left eye; there was no cell or flare in either eye. Iris findings included a surgical pupil with a fibrotic pupillary membrane, laser iridoplasty scars with scattered temporal transillumination defects (TIDs) in the right eye, and 2.5 clock hours of TIDs and a patent peripheral iridotomy at 1 o'clock in the left eye; lens examination revealed centered posterior chamber IOLs with open posterior capsules in both eyes and lens pitting in the left eye. Pertinent findings on dilated fundus examination included a cup-to-disc ratio of 0.3 in both eyes with good neuroretinal rims and macular examination revealed medium-sized drusen with pigment clumping in both eyes and no active choroidal neovascular membranes. The remainder of the examination was unremarkable. What is the etiology of this myopic surprise? What diagnostic testing will help confirm the diagnosis and what are the best management options for this patient?

Abstract
Purpose To compare the refractive outcomes after cataract surgery between patients with and without pseudoexfoliation, and to evaluate the risk factors of refractive error. Methods Retrospective review of 210 eyes with pseudoexfoliation (study group) and 510 normal eyes (control group) that underwent uneventful phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. The study group included pseudoexfoliation syndrome and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG) subgroups. The main outcome measure was refractive error, defined as the difference between the target refraction and postoperative refraction in diopter (D). A refractive error >±1.0 D was identified as a large-magnitude refractive error. The frequency of the large-magnitude refractive error was compared between study and control groups, and also between each subgroup and normal eyes. The factors influencing refractive error were analyzed by logistic regression. Results There was a significantly higher frequency of a refractive error >± 1.0 D and hyperopic error >1.0 D in the study group than in the control group (p = 0.001 and p = 0.003, respectively). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, PXG and poor preoperative visual acuity were related with a large-magnitude refractive error (p = 0.001 and p = 0.02, respectively) Refractive error >± 1.0 D and hyperopic error >1.0 D were noted more often in PXG eyes that had an intraocular pressure spike >25 mmHg at postoperative first 24 hours (p = 0.01 and p=0.03, respectively). Conclusions The eyes with pseudoexfoliation were at a high risk for refractive error, especially in the presence of glaucoma. In PXG, the only significant risk factor for refractive error was observed to be the presence of an intraocular pressure spike.

Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to determine the most accurate formula for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation among five currently used formulas in eyes with phacomorphic glaucoma (PG) undergoing cataract extraction surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this prospective interventional case series Patients diagnosed with PG were undergone uneventful phacoemulsification and IOL implantation. After 3 months, the refractive outcome for each formula was evaluated with mean prediction error (PE), mean absolute error (MAE), and the percentages of eyes within 0.25 D and 0.5 D of predicted error. RESULTS: Twenty-three patients completed the study. PEs were significantly different among the 5 formulas (P = 0.019), and Holladay I had the least error (−0.02 ± 1.11). Haigis formula had the highest hyperopic shift (0.37 ± 1.22), highest MAE (0.99 ± 0.78) and the lowest percentages of desired PEs, while the SRK II produced the greatest percentages. The overall differences in MAE between the 5 formulas were statistically insignificant (P = 0.547). CONCLUSION: In some extreme situations like patients with PG, lower generation of IOL power calculation formulas may still produce more acceptable refractive outcomes.

Abstract
To compare refractive outcomes after cataract surgery in pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) and control eyes and to investigate the accuracy of 3 intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulas in these eyes. In this prospective comparative study 42 eyes (PEX group) and 38 eyes (control group) of 80 patients were included. The follow-up was 3 months. The refractive prediction error (RPE), mean absolute error (MAE), median absolute error (MedAE) and the percentages of eyes within ± 0.25 D, ± 0.5 D, ± 1.0 D and ± 2.0 D of prediction error were calculated. Three IOL calculation formulas (SRK/T, Barrett Universal II and Hill-RBF) were evaluated. PEX produced statistically significantly higher mean absolute errors and lower percentages of eyes within ± 0.5 D than control eyes in all investigated IOL calculation formulas. There were no statistically significant differences in the median absolute errors between the 3 formulas in either PEX or control eyes. Refractive outcomes after cataract surgery are statistically significantly worse in PEX than in control eyes. All three IOL calculation formulas produced similar results in both PEX and control eyes.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov registration number NCT04783909.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the refractive precision of three-piece versus one-piece intraocular lenses (IOLs) in eyes with pseudoexfoliation (PXF) and changes in anterior chamber depth (ACD) following cataract surgery. METHODS This prospective, nonrandomized, interventional, comparative case series included PXF eyes, which were implanted with one-piece acrylic IOL or three-piece acrylic IOLs (Group A; n = 31, Group B; n = 30). Non-PXF control eyes were implanted with one-piece acrylic IOL (Group C; n = 30). Postoperative refractive error (RE) and absolute RE, as well as pre- to postoperative ACD changes, were statistically analysed. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Changes in ACD (mean ± standard deviation) in Groups A, B and C were 0.9 ± 0.4, 1.0 ± 0.3 and 0.7 ± 0.4 mm, respectively. Significant differences were found between Groups A and C (p = 0.043) and between Groups B and C (p = 0.008). In Groups A, B and C, the median and interquartile (Q1 to Q3) values were 0.3 (-0.8 to 1.0), -0.5 (-0.8 to -0.3) and 0.1 (-0.4 to 0.3) for RE and 1.0 (0.4 to 1.3), 0.5 (0.3 to 0.8) and 0.3 (0.3 to 0.5) for absolute RE, respectively. The RE differences between Group A and B (p = 0.009) and Group B and C (p < 0.001) were statistically significant. For absolute RE, the differences were significant for all comparisons (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Refractive precision in PXF eyes may be better with three-piece than with one-piece IOL implantation, but worse than with one-piece IOL implantation in non-PXF eyes. Significant changes in ACD in PXF eyes may be related to RE.

PURPOSE To assess the accuracy of intraocular lens power calculation formulas Barrett Universal II (BUII), Hill-Radial Basis Function (RBF) 3.0, Kane, Ladas Super Formula (LSF), Haigis, Hoffer Q, and SRK/T in primary angle-closure disease (PACD). METHODS A total of 129 PACD eyes were enrolled. Prediction refraction was calculated for each formula and compared with actual refraction. Accuracy was determined by formula performance index (FPI), median absolute error (MedAE) and percentage of eyes with a prediction error (PE) within ± 0.50D. Subgroup analysis was performed according to axial length (AL). RESULTS Overall, FPI was ranked as follows: Kane (0.067), RBF 3.0 (0.064), Haigis (0.062), SRK/T (0.060), BUII (0.058), Hoffer Q (0.055), and LSF (0.049). Kane got the highest (71.3%) percentage of eyes with PE within ± 0.50 D. In medium AL eyes (22 mm < AL ≤ 25 mm), FPI ranked the same as in total group. MedAEs were equal across all formulas (P = 0.121). In short eyes (AL ≤ 22 mm), FPI was Kane (0.055), RBF 3.0 (0.050), SRK/T (0.050), Haigis (0.049), BUII (0.047), Hoffer Q (0.045), and LSF (0.033). MedAEs were significantly different across all formulas (P = 0.033). Haigis showed the lowest MedAE (0.35 D), Haigis and Kane got the highest percentage (63.6%) of eyes with PE within ± 0.50 D. CONCLUSION Kane outperformed in total PACD eyes; RBF 3.0, Haigis, and SRK/T achieved satisfying performance. When dealing with PACD eyes shorter than 22 mm, Kane achieved the best accuracy. RBF 3.0, SRK/T, Haigis, and BUII achieved comparable outcomes. No formula showed superiority over others for medium AL PACD eyes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Implementation of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurements (ICHOM) standard for cataract surgery into clinical practice at an Italian tertiary referral centre. METHODS Prospective, observational, descriptive study consisting of the registry and analysis of cataract surgeries performed during a 6-month enrolment period at the University Eye Clinic of Trieste, Trieste, Italy. Outcomes were recorded and analysed according to the ICHOM Cataract Standard Set version 2.0.1. Records included clinician-reported outcome measures (CROMs) - visual outcome and complications - and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) - self-assessed vision with the Catquest-9SF questionnaire. Correlations between PROMs and CROMs were evaluated. A multiple linear regression was used for predicting the change in PROMs with surgery. RESULTS A total of 218 eyes (of 218 patients) were analysed. Postoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was ⩾0.3 in 89.0% (194/218) of eyes. There was a statistically significant improvement of the post-operative Catquest-9SF global average score. (p < 0.001). The change in the Catquest-9SF score significantly correlated with the change in Item 2 score (related to intermediate vision) (r = 0.634, p < 0.001). A predictive model of the change in the Catquest-9SF score was found (p < 0.001, R2: 0.527) based on preoperative Catquest-9SF total score, presence or not of macular degeneration, presence or not of intraoperative complications, age >75 years old, and preoperative CDVA. CONCLUSIONS Cataract surgery improves the functional vision, with some factors limiting the outcomes such as comorbidities. Self-perceived improvement in intermediate vision significantly influenced the improvement in self-assessed vision.

Refractive Status in Eyes Implanted with Toric and Nontoric Intraocular Lenses during Combined Cataract Surgery and Microhook Ab Interno Trabeculotomy. J Ophthalmol 2021; 2021:5545007. [PMID: 34136278 PMCID: PMC8179763 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5545007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To compare the refractive status between eyes implanted with toric and nontoric intraocular lenses (IOLs) during combined cataract surgery and microhook ab interno trabeculotomy (μLOT), a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Methods Twenty eyes of 20 patients who had open-angle glaucoma, cataract, and preexisting regular corneal astigmatism exceeding 1.5 diopters (D) and underwent combined μLOT and phacoemulsification were recruited retrospectively. Ten eyes were implanted with a toric IOL and 10 eyes with a nontoric IOL. The primary outcomes were the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and refractive cylinder at 3 months postoperatively. Results The mean UCVA of the toric IOL group (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), 0.23 ± 0.25) was significantly better than that of the nontoric IOL group (logMAR, 0.45 ± 0.26) at 3 months postoperatively (p < 0.05). The mean absolute residual refractive cylinder of the nontoric IOL group (2.25 ± 0.62 D) was significantly greater than that of the toric IOL group (1.30 ± 0.68 D) (p < 0.05). Postoperatively, 60% of eyes in the toric IOL group and 10% in the nontoric IOL group had an absolute refractive astigmatism level of 1.5 D or less. Surgically induced astigmatism (0.77 ± 0.43 D for toric group and 0.60 ± 0.32 D for nontoric group) and IOP reduction (33.9 ± 15.6% for toric group and 29.4 ± 11.7% for nontoric group) were not different between groups. Conclusions Use of toric IOL during combined cataract surgery and μLOT is possible and better than not, but physician should prevent their patient of persisting residual astigmatism.

Abstract
Purpose To compare the predictability of biometric results in patients undergoing cataract surgery combined with Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation according to tube position. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed in patients who underwent phacoemulsification surgery combined with AGV implantation with the tube in posterior (group PC) and anterior (group AC) chamber, between November 2012 and April 2020. The main outcome was the mean biometric prediction error, according to tube position, using different formulas. Results The study included 49 eyes of 36 patients, 23 eyes in group PC and 26 eyes in group AC. Gender (p=0.774), age (p=0.822), type of glaucoma (p=0.168), preoperative correct distance visual acuity (p=0.139), axial length (p=0.765), anterior chamber depth (p=0.351), keratometry (p=0.577) and intraocular lens power (p=0.608) were similar between groups. Only preoperative intraocular pressure was higher in group PC (p=0.005). The mean prediction errors using Haigis, SRK/T, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, Barrett Universal II, Kane and Hill RBF formulas were all positive in group PC (hyperopic) and all negative (myopic) in group AC. In group PC, there was no significant difference in prediction error between these formulas (p>0.05). In group AC, the formula with the worst prediction error was Haigis (p=0.001), and the best was Barrett Universal II (p=0.043). Conclusion The biometric predictability and expected final refraction in phacoemulsification surgery combined with AGV implantation are modified by the position of the tube.

Abstract
Purpose Simultaneous cataract and glaucoma surgery has traditionally been challenging for the anterior segment surgeon. The introduction of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) in conjunction with cataract surgery appears safe and effective in lowering intraocular pressure. Although a significant visual impact leading from the combined procedure is unexpected, we aim to describe the refractive outcomes in a cohort of patients undergoing simultaneous cataract removal and iStent inject and discuss the potential implications of combined surgery in patients with co-existent glaucoma. Patients and Methods This is a retrospective consecutive case series inclusive of patients undergoing combined femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and the insertion of two trabecular micro-bypass stents (iStent inject). Visual acuity, refraction and astigmatic vector analysis were collated and analysed from the preoperative and 4 weeks postoperative visits. Results One hundred and six eyes of 89 patients from 2 surgeons were included in the original cohort. The mean absolute difference from target refraction was 0.36 ± 0.25D. 73.9% of eyes were within ± 0.5D of the refractive target and 98.9% of eyes were within ± 1.00D. 73.8% of eyes had 0.5D or less residual refractive astigmatism following the procedure. Conclusion We present a novel cohort of glaucoma patients undergoing combined trabecular micro-bypass stents (iStent inject) and cataract surgery achieving excellent refractive outcomes. The results of this study indicate that this second-generation device is refractively neutral.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glaucoma patients undergoing phacoemulsification alone have a higher rate of refractive surprise compared to patients without glaucoma. This risk is further increased with combined filtering procedures. Indeed, there are few and conflicting reports on the effect of combined phacoemulsification and micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Here, we look at refractive outcomes of glaucoma patients undergoing phacoemulsification with and without Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) goniotomy. METHODS Retrospective chart review of 385 glaucomatous eyes of 281 patients, which underwent either phacoemulsification alone (n = 309) or phacoemulsification with KDB goniotomy (n = 76, phaco-KDB) at the University of Colorado. The main outcome was refractive surprise defined as the difference in target and postoperative refraction spherical equivalent greater than ±0.5 Diopter (D). RESULTS Refractive surprise greater than ±0.5 D occurred in 26.3% of eyes in the phaco-KDB group and 36.2% in the phacoemulsification group (p = 0.11). Refractive surprise greater than ±1.0 D occurred in 6.6% for the phaco-KDB group and 9.7% for the phacoemulsification group (p = 0.08). There was no significant difference in risk of refractive surprise when pre-operative IOP, axial length, keratometry or performance of KDB goniotomy were assessed in univariate analyses. CONCLUSION There was no difference between refractive outcomes of glaucomatous patients undergoing phacoemulsification with or without KDB goniotomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of trabecular microbypass stents combined with cataract surgery on refractive outcomes in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG). SETTING Private practice, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, USA. DESIGN Retrospective, comparative case series. METHODS Eyes with OAG had implantation of trabecular microbypass stents with concomitant cataract surgery. The unmatched control group comprised eyes that underwent only cataract extraction. Data were collected preoperatively and postoperatively for 6 months. Data included spherical equivalent (SE), astigmatic error, intraocular pressure (IOP), and number of glaucoma medications. RESULTS The series included 76 consecutive OAG eyes with combined cataract plus trabecular microbypass stent and 50 consecutive non-OAG eyes with cataract surgery only. SE outcomes were equivalent between the groups (P<0.001). For the combined and cataract-only groups respectively, 46% vs 52% had SEs within 0.25 D of the target, 80% vs 80% within 0.50 D, and 95% vs 94% within 1.00 D. Astigmatism outcomes did not significantly differ between the groups (P>0.05). As for magnitude of astigmatism in the combined and cataract only groups respectively, 51% vs 32% were within 0.5 D, 75% vs 66% within 1.0 D, 87% vs 82% within 1.5 D, and 89% vs 94% within 2.0 D. In the OAG combined-surgery group, mean intraocular pressure reduction was 3.4 mmHg (P<0.0001) at 1 month postoperatively, 4.0 mmHg (P<0.0001) at 3 months, and 3.4 mmHg (P<0.01) at 6 months. Mean decrease in number of glaucoma medications was 0.4 (P<0.05) at 1 month, 0.7 (p<0.0001) at 3 months, and 0.9 (P<0.001) at 6 months. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest the trabecular microbypass stent is a refractively neutral device.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to describe our surgical experience and evaluate safety and postoperative outcomes of a fully preloaded, monofocal, hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) (CT LUCIA 611P) with a newly designed optic-haptic junction in severe cases of pseudoexfoliation (PXF) syndrome, phacodonesis, and small pupils. Setting This study was conducted in Borkenstein & Borkenstein, private practice, Privatklinik der Kreuzschwestern Graz, Austria. Patients and methods This study presents outcomes of 15 eyes of 15 patients implanted with CT LUCIA 611P IOL with improved optical properties and more rigid and wider optic– haptic junction. All patients had advanced cataract and PXF syndrome, of which phacodonesis was detected in 12 cases and five cases had PXF glaucoma. All eyes had small pupils with no response to mydriatic drops, and the surgery was performed with the use of Malyugin ring. All eyes were targeted for a slight postoperative myopia (−0.25 to −0.50 D). Refractive outcomes were presented for 3 months follow-up, while adverse events were followed up for to 10 months. Results The mean age of the study group was 78.3 years (from 68 to 86 years). Three months postoperatively, the mean manifest spherical equivalent was −0.35 D (from 0.00 to −1.00 D) and all eyes were within ±0.50 D of their preoperative target. No significant refractive shift or refractive surprise occurred during the follow-up of 10 months. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) improved from the mean value of 20/50 preoperatively to 20/20 postoperatively. No intraoperative adverse events were noted. Postoperatively, six eyes presented with a slight decentration or tilt, which did not significantly affect postoperative refraction, CDVA, or patients’ subjective visual symptoms. Conclusion The IOL provided good surgical performance, excellent refractive stability, and predictable outcomes in patients with PXF syndrome. Further studies are necessary to evaluate long-term stability.
