Article Abstract
Intraocular transmission of exogenous pathogens in cataract surgery can lead to endophthalmitis. This review evaluates the features of endophthalmitis clusters secondary to pathogen transmission in cataract surgery. Articles reporting on pathogen transmission in cataract surgery were identified via searches of Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL, and a total of 268 eyes from 24 studies were included. The most common source of infectious transmission was attributed to a contaminated intraocular solution (ie, irrigation solution, viscoelastic, or diluted antibiotic; n = 10). Visual acuity at presentation with infectious features was 1.89 logMAR (range: 1.35 to 2.58; ∼counting fingers) and 1.33 logMAR (range: 0.04 to 3.00; Snellen: ∼20/430) at last follow-up. Patients with diabetes had worse outcomes compared with patients without diabetes. The most frequently isolated pathogen from the infectious sources was Pseudomonas sp. (50.0%). This review highlights the various routes of pathogen transmission during cataract surgery and summarizes recommendations for the detection, prevention, and management of endophthalmitis clusters.

Evaluation of the effect of autophagy on pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
J Int Med Res
September 2025
Medicine Faculty, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Turkey.
ObjectivePseudoexfoliation syndrome is a systemic disease of unknown etiology, seen in advanced ages, characterized by extracellular material accumulation in ocular tissues and visceral organs. Autophagy, which is a basic metabolic pathway, provides macromolecule recycling of the cell and maintains cell homeostasis by adapting to the cell's stress environment. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between specific mechanisms of autophagy and pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

PurposeTo evaluate the safety and ability of an ophthalmic solution containing Poloxamer 407 and Polyquaternium 133 to reduce conjunctival bacterial load before cataract surgery.MethodsPatients (n = 74) were randomized to 2 groups: treatment (n = 37) or placebo (treatment's vehicle; (n = 37)) BID from V1 to V3. Patients were also given standard postoperative treatment from V2 to V3.

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.
Accuracy of Intraocular Lens Calculation in a Non-diffractive Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular Lens After Myopic LASIK.

September 2025
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).
