Refractive lens exchange: What are the red lines?
Eur J Ophthalmol. 2023 Dec 7:11206721231218909. doi: 10.1177/11206721231218909. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPractical advancements in phacoemulsification techniques and intraocular lenses and the wide availability of phacoemulsification machines have led refractive lens exchange (RLE) to increase in popularity. Ethical boundaries in RLE have subsequently been pushed to include patients at higher risk of complications. In this editorial, we consider RLE outcomes and complications per type of refractive error, together with preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative ethical obligations for refractive surgeons. In the c...

The efficacy of part-time patching treatment for intermittent exotropia on different age groups
CONCLUSION: Younger age groups were more likely to benefit from patching therapy than older age groups, and good compliance to patching therapy is an important factor in preventing the need for surgery.PMID:38058130 | DOI:10.1177/11206721231218654 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Microvascular changes after pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair: A comparative study based on gas tamponade agent
CONCLUSION: Specific microvascular indices as measured by OCTA were statistically different between the operated and the fellow eyes in the superficial and deep capillary plexus. C3F8 and SF6 as gas tamponades did not seem to differ in their impact on the microvascular parameters.PMID:38043935 | DOI:10.1177/11206721231218656 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Use of chalazion clamp for excision of the eyelid margin lesion
CONCLUSION: The use of the chalazion clamp during excision of the eyelid margin lesion could stabilize the eyelid, protect the eyeball from accidental injury and, and provide a clear bloodless operative field. It can ensure the neatness of the cut edges and offer better incision alignment for suture. It also avoids wasting too much time on haemostasis, without additional expensive equipment.PMID:38013412 | DOI:10.1177/11206721231218032 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)
