Article Abstract
To define the influence of air, SF6 gas and silicon oil 1000cs tamponade injection and oil tamponade removal on corneal biomechanics, central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure. 77 eyes referred to vitrectomy were divided into 4 groups: 19 to air tamponade, 21 to SF6 tamponade, 19 to oil tamponade, 18 to oil tamponade removal. Pre- and postoperative corneal hysteresis, corneal resistance factor, corneal thickness, Goldman intraocular pressure (GAT) and corneal compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc) were analysed. GAT and IOPcc did not change after the air or SF6 tamponade. The oil tamponade injection caused increase in GAT and IOPcc, while the oil removal caused reduction in those parameters. In all groups, preoperative and postoperative values of GAT and IOPcc did not differ. There was no change in corneal thickness and biomechanics after air, SF6 or oil tamponade while after removal of oil those parameters are decreased. The air, SF6 and oil tamponade does not change the corneal thickness and corneal biomechanics. The removal of oil causes decrease in corneal thickness and biomechanics which can lead to bias in intraocular pressure measurement. GAT and IOPcc did not differ in eyes pre- and post-vitrectomy, being similarly reliable measure.

Beijing Tongren Eye Center Research Ward, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Beijing Institute of Ophthalmology, Beijing Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences Key Laboratory, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: To evaluate the peripheral vitreoretinal abnormality (PVA) and its correlation with the risk of malignant glaucoma (MG) in nanophthalmos with secondary angle closure glaucoma (NSACG).
Methods: This prospective case series included 47 NSACG eyes with axial length (AL) < 21 mm from 25 patients. PVA was defined as a hyperreflective echo at the peripheral vitreoretinal region under ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).
Biosynthetic ε-poly-L-lysine for the treatment of extensively- and pan-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) represents a major cause of antimicrobial resistance-related morbidity and mortality. The recent emergence of highly fatal infections, caused by carbapenem-resistant PA, has called for novel antimicrobial therapies and strategies. In this study, we highlight the therapeutic potential of ε-poly-L-lysine (εPL), an antimicrobial polymer for treating extensively-and pan-drug-resistant-PA.

From National Engineering Research Center of Ophthalmology and Optometry, Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China.
Purpose: To use parametric numerical simulation to characterize and compare the differences in corneal biomechanical responses to laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) under various surgical settings.
Methods: The Finite Element Model was used in a parametric study to evaluate corneal biomechanical responses to LASIK and KLEx, considering variations in preoperative corneal thickness, corneal flap/cap thickness and diameter, refractive correction, and optical zone diameter. Surgery-induced stress, displacement, and interface contact pressure were compared between LASIK and KLEx using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Influence of Manufacturing Tolerance and Formula Thickness Type in the Prediction Error of Multifocal Intraocular Lens Power Calculation.
J Refract Surg

From Qvision, Department of Ophthalmology of VITHAS Almería Hospital, Almería, Spain.
Purpose: To assess differences in intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation prediction error (PE) considering the manufacturing tolerance or exact power (EP) versus labeled power (LP), and to compare accuracy using the Barrett formula with optimized constant versus a thick-lens formula.
Methods: The PE and absolute PE were calculated for a random eye of patients implanted with the multifocal Liberty Q-Flex 640PM IOL (Medicontur Ltd) considering the LP and the EP provided by the manufacturer. The outcomes for the Barrett with optimized constant formula and a thick-lens formula personalized for the surgeon, biometer, and IOL were compared.
