Latest Publications

Cataract surgery in eyes with congenital ocular coloboma

Authors:

Maria Phylactou, Francesco Matarazzo, Alexander Clifford Day, Badrul Hussain, Vincenzo Maurino

Publication date:

04/09/2020

Description:

To assess the safety, efficacy, and complication rate of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in patients with congenital uveal coloboma and to evaluate the role of pupilloplasty.

Opacified hydrophilic intraocular lens following DMEK

Authors:

Minak Bhalla, Omar El-Haddad, Vincenzo Maurino

Publication date:

15/04/2020

Journal:

Eye

Description:

Current literature has indicated that central opacification was more likely in DMEK cases that undergo re-bubbling or in patients who had sensitivity to topical steroids [5]. Prolonged high IOP was also a risk factor to the opacification as it may have impacted the optical surface of the lens.

Comparative analysis of 2 swept-source optical coherence tomography biometers

Authors:

Francesco Sabatino, Francesco Matarazzo, Oliver Findl, Vincenzo Maurino

Publication date:

01/08/2019

Journal:

Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery

Description:

To report the level of agreement, repeatability, and correlation of axial length (AL), mean keratometry, central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, and corneal diameter measurements of 2 swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) biometers, the IOLMaster 700 (reference biometer) and the Argos (new biometer).

Clinical Course, Outcomes, and Posterior Capsule Rupture Risk of Cases Having Phacoemulsification Followed By Unplanned Fragmatome and Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Dislocated Nucleus or Nuclear Fragment

Authors:

Sharmina R Khan, Maria-Laura Dari, Declan W Flanagan, Mahi M Muqit, Vincenzo Maurino

Publication date:

05/05/2019

Journal:

ASCRS ASOA Annual Meeting

Description:

This retrospective review of 66 patients who had either nuclear/fragment dislocated into the posterior segment during phacoemulsification cataract surgery followed by unplanned fragmatome and pars plana vitrectomy, over a 23-month period. Outcomes were based on grade of operating surgeon; trainee, fellow versus consultant. The posterior capsule rupture risk was calculated using EMR software, OpenEyes. Validity of the calculator was considered based on additional perceived risk factors for posterior capsular rupture. Intra-operative events that offered empirical pointers to recurring (potentially predictable) factors, and subsequent interventions were analysed.
