Purpose To evaluate the efficacy and safety of air bubble technique for vitrectomy in aphakia. Study Design Prospective interventional uncontrolled case series. Methods This study included 53 eyes of 53 patients who are phakic and indicated for phacovitrectomy (7 eyes, group 1), aphakic and indicated for vitrectomy (22 eyes, group 2), or underwent unplanned vitrectomy for immediate manageme...

Purpose A meta-analysis to compare iris-claw intraocular lens (IC-IOL) and scleral-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens (SF-PCIOL) implantations in correcting aphakia without sufficient capsular support. Methods Eligible studies were collected through PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane library. The pooled relative risks (RR), pooled standardized mean difference (SMD), and ...

PURPOSE The aim was to evaluate the results of three different secondary intraocular lens implantation (IOL) procedures in aphakic eyes without capsular support METHODS In this retrospective comparative case series, 90 eyes of 90 patients who underwent secondary IOL implantation for correction of aphakia were enrolled. Patients were divided into three groups based on the secondary IOL implant...

IMPORTANCE Patching has been a mainstay in treating unilateral congenital cataract. However, its efficacy has not been rigorously assessed. OBJECTIVE To examine the association between patching and visual acuity in a cohort of children treated for unilateral congenital cataract. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial (Infant Apha...

We present the framework of an e!ective medium theory to calculate the transport properties of classical waves in disorderedmedia, Busch and Soukoulis (Phys. Rev. Lett. 75 (1995) 3442). It is based on the principle that the wave energy density should be uniform when averaged over length scales larger than the size of the basic scattering unit and can, therefore, be applied to electromagnetic, B...
