Acta Ophthalmol 2024; 102:e352-e357.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of topical short-acting mydriatics on the formation of posterior synechia after phacovitrectomy surgery of pars plana vitrectomy and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. METHODS A prospective randomised controlled trial. Fifty-seven adult (>18 years old) patients (57 eyes) who underwent phacovitrectomy surgery at a single tertiary hospital, were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (29 eyes) received standard postoperative treatment (topical antibiotics and steroids). The study group (28 eyes) received short-acting mydriatics together with standard therapy. Patients were followed until 24 months after surgery. The primary outcome measure was the formation of posterior synechia during the follow-up period. RESULTS A total of 7 patients developed posterior synechia during the follow-up period (12%), 3 in the study group (11%) and 4 in the control group (14%). There was no statistical difference between the groups. Significant associations for the development of posterior synechia were surgery for retinal detachment, longer surgery duration (>93 min) and the use of tamponade, in particular silicone oil. CONCLUSIONS The use of topical short-acting mydriatic drops after phacovitrectomy surgery, in addition to standard post-operative treatment, did not reduce the formation of posterior synechia. However, we identified several factors that may influence or act as predictors for the development of posterior synechia: surgery for retinal detachment, using silicone oil tamponade and a longer surgery duration. Our findings may aid in the standardisation of post-phacovitrectomy surgery treatment and define potential at-risk patients who should be monitored more closely.

[PMID: 32087983 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfo.2019.08.015] [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: 06/07/2019] [Revised: 08/28/2019] [Accepted: 08/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Combined vitrectomy-lensectomy surgery is a safe and effective procedure. Nevertheless, it is frequently complicated by posterior capsule opacification and the formation of posterior synechiae. These complications can be avoided by placing a "bag in the lens" (BIL) implant. The objective of this study is to compare the visual acuity gain (VA) after combined vitrectomy-lensectomy surgery between a group implanted with the BIL technique and a group with implantation in the bag (LIB). MATERIAL AND METHODS We included in the study all vitrectomy-lensectomy procedures for epiretinal membrane and vitreomacular traction performed between May 2013 and July 2016 at the Hospital and University Center of Caen. We compared the VA gain between the BIL group and the LIB group six months after surgery. RESULTS A total of 33 patients were included in the study, consisting of 28 eyes in the BIL group and 8 eyes in the LIB group. The mean VA gain in the BIL group was -0.52 LogMAR (P<0.0001) and -0.56 LogMAR (P=0.0047) for the LIB group. The difference between the two groups was not significant (P=0.74). CONCLUSION The use of the BIL technique during vitrectomy-lensectomy allows visual recovery as good as implantation within the capsular bag. In addition, this implant has the advantage of significantly reducing the occurrence of posterior synechiae and preventing anterior and posterior capsular proliferation.

Case Rep Ophthalmol 2020; 11:60-67. [PMID: 32110231 PMCID: PMC7036555 DOI: 10.1159/000505597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2019] [Accepted: 12/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
We observed repeated episodes of rapid increases in intraocular pressure (IOP) considered to be caused by an in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) instability in a patient with an implanted IOL. As acute glaucoma attack-like increase in IOP was noted in the left eye on November 8, she was admitted to Wakayama Medical University Hospital. The findings at the first examination included an IOP of 62 mm Hg, instability of a PMMA one-piece IOL, shallow anterior chamber, narrow angle, moderate mydriasis, and loss of pupillary light reaction in the left avitreous eye. On November 15, a 6-mm Hg increase in IOP was observed during 60-min dark room prone provocative testing. After the first examination, the patient perceived pain and reduced visual acuity of the left eye and emergently consulted our hospital twice. Despite miosis, normalization of the anterior chamber depth and IOP with widening of the angle were achieved by resting in the supine position. These episodes were thought to be caused by instability and anterior shift of the IOL. On January 17, 2018, suture fixation of the in-the-bag IOL was performed. The IOL was fixed by transscleral suturing of the bilateral supporting parts to the sclera. Recurrence of sudden ophthalmalgia, instability of the in-the-bag IOL, and an increase in IOP have not been observed for 1 year after surgical treatment. Instability of an in-the-bag IOL caused repeated acute angle-closure glaucoma-like attacks. The situation was well treated by suturing and fixing the haptics of IOL to the sclera.

J Cataract Refract Surg 2019; 45:1386-1392. [PMID: 31564313 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrs.2019.05.054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2018] [Revised: 05/08/2019] [Accepted: 05/14/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the rate of posterior synechiae of the iris (PSI) occurrence after phacovitrectomy between a group with lens-in-the-bag (LIB) implantation, that is, implantation in the capsular bag, and a group with bag-in-the-lens (BIL) implantation. SETTING CHU de Caen, Department of Ophthalmology, Caen, France. DESIGN Comparative retrospective study. METHODS One hundred consecutive cases of phacovitrectomies conducted between May 2013 and July 2016 were included. A retrospective analysis of the occurrence rate of PSI in the LIB group and in the BIL group was performed, using multivariate analysis including multiple risk factors such as preoperative synechiae, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, use of 20-gauge vitrectomy, use of gas or silicone tamponade, and use of endophotocoagulation. RESULTS One hundred eyes of 92 patients were included in this study (55 eyes in the LIB group and 45 in the BIL group). The occurrence of PSI was significantly lower in the BIL group with 1 case (2%) versus 22 cases (40%) in the LIB group (P < .001). Among the risk factors studied, preoperative synechiae and the use of retinal endophotocoagulation were almost significantly associated with the occurrence of PSI (P = .068 and P = .087, respectively). In the LIB group, these PSI led to 1 case of acute elevation of intraocular pressure by pupillary seclusion and the use of laser iridotomy in 8 cases. CONCLUSION The use of BIL rather than LIB implantation in phacovitrectomy practically eliminates PSI.
