          Abstract

          Objective. To observe the stability of intraocular lenses (IOLs) in primary angle-closure glaucoma by ultralong scan depth spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (UL-OCT) after phacoemulsification. Methods. A prospective, randomized study. 73 patients (82 eyes) with primary closed-angle glaucoma and age-related cataract were included in the study. 42 eyes were implanted with ZCB00, while 40 eyes were implanted with Softec HD after phacoemulsification. The tilt, decentration, and space between IOL and posterior capsule (IOL-PC space) were analyzed using UL-OCT at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery. The intergroup difference was compared with the paired t-test. Result. The difference of decentration and tilt was not statistically significant (both P>0.05 ) both in the horizontal and vertical positions at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. The horizontal IOL-PC space is 0.111 ± 0.091 mm2, 0.044 ± 0.066 mm2, and 0.055 ± 0.055 mm2 in the Softec HD group and 0.458 ± 0.488 mm2, 0.497 ± 0.363 mm2, and 0.492 ± 0.441 mm2 in the ZCB00 group. The vertical IOL-PC space is 0.102 ± 0.061 mm2, 0.037 ± 0.052 mm2, and 0.053 ± 0.079 mm2 in the Softec HD group and 0.692 ± 0.815 mm2, 0.510 ± 0.415 mm2, and 0.691 ± 0.635 mm2 in the ZCB00 group. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05 ) both in the horizontal and vertical positions except for the first week on the horizon. The Softec HD group is smaller than the ZCB00 group. Conclusion. There is no difference in the stability of the IOL although the IOL-PC space is different. The thickness of IOL may affect the IOL-PC space.

            Posterior capsule opacification

            A complication of extracapsular cataract extraction with or without posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) implantation is posterior capsule opacification. This condition is usually secondary to a proliferation and migration of residual lens epithelial cells. Opacification may be reduced by atraumatic surgery and thorough cortical clean-up. Clinical, pathological and experimental studies have shown that use of hydrodissection, the continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and specific IOL designs may help reduce the incidence of this complication. Capsular-fixated, one-piece all-polymethylmethacrylate PC-IOLs with a C-shaped loop configuration and a posterior convexity of the optic are effective. Polymethylmethacrylate loops that retain "memory" create a symmetric, radial stretch on the posterior capsule after in-the-bag placement, leading to a more complete contact between the posterior surface of the IOL optic and the taut capsule. This may help form a barrier against central migration of epithelial cells into the visual axis. Various pharmacological and immunological methods are being investigated but conclusive data on these modalities are not yet available.

              Tilt and decentration of intraocular lenses in vivo from Purkinje and Scheimpflug imaging. Validation study.

              To measure tilt and decentration of intraocular lenses (IOLs) with Scheimpflug and Purkinje imaging systems in physical model eyes with known amounts of tilt and decentration and patients. Instituto de Optica Daza de Valdés, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Madrid, Spain. Measurements of IOL tilt and decentration were obtained using a commercial Scheimpflug system (Pentacam, Oculus), custom algorithms, and a custom-built Purkinje imaging apparatus. Twenty-five Scheimpflug images of the anterior segment of the eye were obtained at different meridians. Custom algorithms were used to process the images (correction of geometrical distortion, edge detection, and curve fittings). Intraocular lens tilt and decentration were estimated by fitting sinusoidal functions to the projections of the pupillary axis and IOL axis in each image. The Purkinje imaging system captures pupil images showing reflections of light from the anterior corneal surface and anterior and posterior lens surfaces. Custom algorithms were used to detect the Purkinje image locations and estimate IOL tilt and decentration based on a linear system equation and computer eye models with individual biometry. Both methods were validated with a physical model eye in which IOL tilt and decentration can be set nominally. Twenty-one eyes of 12 patients with IOLs were measured with both systems. Measurements of the physical model eye showed an absolute discrepancy between nominal and measured values of 0.279 degree (Purkinje) and 0.243 degree (Scheimpflug) for tilt and 0.094 mm (Purkinje) and 0.228 mm (Scheimpflug) for decentration. In patients, the mean tilt was less than 2.6 degrees and the mean decentration less than 0.4 mm. Both techniques showed mirror symmetry between right eyes and left eyes for tilt around the vertical axis and for decentration in the horizontal axis. Both systems showed high reproducibility. Validation experiments on physical model eyes showed slightly higher accuracy with the Purkinje method than the Scheimpflug imaging method. Horizontal measurements of patients with both techniques were highly correlated. The IOLs tended to be tilted and decentered nasally in most patients.
