Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the effectiveness of lensectomy with a glued intraocular lens (IOL) on spherophakic eyes suffering from secondary glaucoma, involving 19 participants over a period from 2016 to 2018.
- It finds that while the surgery significantly improved vision and reduced refractive errors, the long-term success of maintaining proper intraocular pressure (IOP) without glaucoma medications decreased over time, with a notable risk factor being the number of antiglaucoma medications taken preoperatively.
- The conclusion highlights that about one-third of the patients achieved IOP control without medication after the surgery, indicating its potential positive impact on visual outcomes but warning that pre-surgery medication use can lead to less favorable results.
Objective To validate the newly proposed multimodal-imaging-based classification for central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Methods This was a retrospective study performed in a total of 87 eyes of 44 patients with a diagnosis of CSCR. Multimodal images in the form of auto-fluorescence, fundus fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, of all the patients, were presented to two masked retina specialists.

These can co-exist in a multitude of pathologies such as trauma, healed keratitis (old herpetic scar), chronic degenerative changes such as labrador keratopathy, bullous keratopathy, corneal dystrophies etc. Phacoemulsification in such eyes is rewarding to the patient in terms of minimal intervention, less risk of complications owing to reduced open sky time (as in case of combined keratoplasty), and better predictable visual outcomes.

Methods: Retrospective, observational and cross-sectional study on 229 naïve eyes diagnosed as CSCR with available baseline data and multimodal imaging. Each case was classified into (i) simple/complex/atypical; (ii) primary/recurrent/resolved; (iii) persistent or not; (iv) outer retinal atrophy(ORA) present/absent; (v) foveal involvement present/absent; and (vi) macular neovascularization(MNV) present/absent.
