We describe a case of Urrets-Zavalia syndrome (UZS) in a healthy 56-year-old woman who underwent femtosecond-assisted phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in both eyes. One month after an uneventful postoperative course in the left eye, the right eye was operated. Dilated pupil which was nonreactive to light appeared on day 21 postoperatively. This was discovered upon examination following anterior chamber inflammatory reaction which occurred 2 weeks following her surgery. Our case report emphasizes the importance and danger in developing UZS even if the reaction in the anterior chamber does not occur immediately after surgery. In addition, the importance of intraocular pressure follow-up in the period after UZS is acknowledged.

Background and Objectives: To quantify the change in intraocular pressure (IOP) after phacoemulsification in patients having undergone femtolaser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), and study the influence of the use of ultrasound on this change. Setting: Jules-Gonin Eye Hospital, University Department of Ophthalmology, Lausanne, Switzerland. Materials and Methods: Interventional study. Methods: All consecutive cases operated with FLACS and with complete data for the studied parameters were selected for inclusion in the study. Data had been prospectively collected and was analysed retrospectively. Linear regression was performed to explore the association of change in IOP with time of measure, ultrasound use, sex, age, and duration of surgery. Results: There was a mean decrease in intraocular pressure of 2.5 mmHg (CI 95% −3.6; −1.4, p < 0.001) postoperatively. No association between the change in intraocular pressure and ultrasound time or effective phaco time was observed when the data were analyzed one at a time or in a multiple linear regression model. There was no association with sex, age, nuclear density, presence of pseudoexfoliation, duration of surgery, and time of ocular pressure measurement. Eyes with preoperative IOP ≥ 21 mmHg had a more significant IOP reduction after surgery (p < 0.0001) as did eyes with an anterior chamber depth <2.5 mm (p = 0.01). Conclusion: There was a decrease in intraocular pressure six months after FLACS in our study similar to that in the published literature for standard phacoemulsification. The use of ultrasound may not influence the size of the decrease, whereas the preoperative IOP and anterior chamber depth do. FLACS may be as valuable as standard phacoemulsification for cases where IOP reduction is needed postoperatively.

Abstract Background: To create an anterior chamber depth (ACD) regression model for adult cataract surgery candidates from China, and to evaluate the distribution of their ocular biometric parameters.Methods: The ocular biometric records of 28,709 right eyes of cataract surgery candidates who were treated at Aier Eye Hospitals in nine cities from 2018 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All measurements were taken with IOLMaster 700. We included patients who were at least 40 years old and were diagnosed with cataract.Results: The mean age of the patients was 68.6 ± 11.0 years. The mean values recorded were as follows: axial length (AL), 24.17 ± 2.47 mm; mean keratometry (Km) value, 44.09 ± 3.25 D; corneal astigmatism (CA), 1.06 ± 0.98 D; ACD, 3.02 ± 0.45 mm; lens thickness (LT), 4.52 ± 0.45 mm; central corneal thickness (CCT), 0.534 ± 0.04 mm; and white to white (WTW) corneal diameter, 11.64 ± 0.46 mm. The proportion of patients with long axial length (AL >25 mm) decreased with age. ACD, LT, AL, Km, WTW, and age were correlated. In the multivariate regression analysis of ACD, which included LT, AL, WTW, sex, Km, CCT, and age, there was a reasonable prediction with adjusted R2 = 0.629.Conclusions: The results show that high myopes are inclined to schedule cataract surgery at a younger age. LT and AL were found to be important factors that affect ACD. This study provides reference data for cataract patients from China.

Abstract Background: malignant glaucoma after cataract surgery is still one of the serious complications, if not handled properly，it may lead to serious consequences. It is notoriously difficult to treat. 25G vitrectomy was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy for the treatment of malignant glaucoma in pseudophakia. Methods: This is a retrospective, comparative case series study. A total of 20 eyes of 20 patients with malignant glaucoma after phacoemulsification were analyzed retrospectively in The First Affiliated Hospital Of Anhui Medical University from May 2015 to January 2018. All Medical Data including the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Change of intraocular pressure (IOP), the length of eye axis, and the depth of anterior chamber were recorded. SPSS 17.0 statistical software was used for analysis .Before surgery, the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.8±0.6. The intraocular pressure was between 18-57mmHg, with an average of 35.2±10.4mmHg.The depth of anterior chamber was between 0.9-1.9mm, with an average of 1.3±0.2mm.The length of eye axis was 19.7-22.5mm,with an average of 20.6±0.5mm.All the patients were accomplished with 25G vitrectomy. Besides, anterior chamber inflammatory reaction and other complications were also observed postoperation. Results: The patients were followed up for 6-12 months with an average of 9 months. BCVA at the last follow up improved to 0.8±0.1, and there was significant difference compared to that before operation (P<0.01).IOP was from 12-19mmHg, an average of 16.1±2.5mmHg, there was significant difference compared to that before operation (t=7.6, p<0.01).Only one patient occurred low IOP (6mmHg) after surgery, IOP returned to normal level (14mmHg) after conservative treatment. No serious complications including corneal endothelium decompensation, intraocular lens (IOL) capture, intraocular hemorrhage, endophthalmitis and uncontrolled IOP were observed. Conclusions: 25G minimally invasive vitrectomy can treat malignant glaucoma after cataract surgery safely and effectively
