Article Abstract
Background/purpose: To demonstrate possible complications of a new intraocular lens for sutureless secondary scleral implantation and modifications of the surgical technique to optimize outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective study of 16 eyes (16 patients) who underwent a secondary intraocular lens implantation using the Carlevale intraocular lens (Soleko, Italy) with two anchor haptics for intrascleral implantation (mean follow-up 2.2 months).
Results: The visual acuity did not improve statistically significantly postoperatively ( P = 0.601). Seven (44%) patients suffered from postoperative hypotonia (intraocular pressure <5 mmHg) during the first three postoperative days.
Conclusion: Owing to the early postoperative hypotony, we decided to modify the surgical technique. We present several suggestions to optimize the technique and outcome such as positioning the sclerotomies at the 2 and 8 o'clock positions, using 27 G trocars alone and suturing the frown incisions using self-resorbing sutures.

In-the-Bag Behavior of a New Aspheric Hydrophobic Acrylic Toric Intraocular Lens.
J Refract Surg
September 2025
Purpose: To evaluate tilt, decentration, and axial stability of the Clareon toric intraocular lens (TIOL) (CNW0T3-9; Alcon Laboratories, Inc) over a 6-month follow-up period.
Methods: A single-center, prospective, interventional clinical trial was conducted with a study population of 130 eyes from 82 patients who received a Clareon TIOL. Tilt, decentration, and the aqueous depth were determined preoperatively and at 1 week and 6 months postoperatively using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (Casia 2; Tomey Corporation).
Purpose: To evaluate visual and refractive outcomes, visual quality, patient satisfaction, and spectacle independence 3 months after phacoemulsification with bilateral non-diffractive enhanced depth of focus (EDOF) lens implantation.
Methods: This study included 68 eyes of 34 consecutive patients, with 51.5% undergoing refractive lens exchange and 48.
Impact of ICL Fixation Direction on Postoperative Vault and Prediction Accuracy Using the KS Formula.
J Refract Surg
September 2025
Purpose: To compare postoperative vault measurements between horizontal and vertical fixation of the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) (KS-AquaPORT; STAAR Surgical) when its size is determined using the KS formula.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 2,343 eyes from 1,275 patients who underwent myopic ICL implantation. Pre-operative anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) (CASIA 2; Tomey Corporation) was performed in both horizontal and vertical orientations.
Accuracy of Intraocular Lens Calculation in a Non-diffractive Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular Lens After Myopic LASIK.

From the Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe-University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany and.
Purpose: To evaluate intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation of a non-diffractive extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOL after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) without historical data.
Methods: In this consecutive case series, patients who had undergone lens surgery with implantation of a non-diffractive EDOF IOL after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) at the Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany, were included. Preoperative assessments included biometry and tomography using Scheimpflug technology (Pentacam; Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH).
Accuracy of PEARL-DGS Formula for Intraocular Lens Power Calculation in Patients With Previous Myopic Laser Vision Correction.

From the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Humanitas University, Pieve Emanuele, Milan, Italy.
Purpose: To determine the accuracy of a new machine learning-based open-source IOL formula (PEARLS-DGS) in 100 patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery and had a history of laser refractive surgery for myopic defects.
Methods: The setting for this retrospective study was HUMANITAS Research Hospital, Milan, Italy. Data from 100 patients with a history of photorefractive keratectomy or laser in situ keratomileusis were retrospectively analyzed to assess the accuracy of the formula.
