Extended Depth-of-Focus Technology in Intraocular Lenses
The extended depth-of-focus (EDF) intraocular lens (IOL) is an emerging technology that is designed to improve range of vision, especially at intermediate distances. In this short review, we describe the clinical performance of four emerging EDF IOL technologies: small aperture design, bioanalogic IOL, diffractive optics, and non-diffractive optical manipulations. The American Academy of Ophthalmology has generated a consensus statement for EDF IOLs that provided benchmarks and recommendations for classifying an implant as an EDF IOL and provided standardized testing criteria for evaluating performance.

Comparison of Accelerated Crosslinking Alone, Accelerated Crosslinking with Simultaneous Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments, and Accelerated Crosslinking with Simultaneous Topography-Guided Photorefractive Keratectomy in Progressive Keratoconus and Other Corneal Ectasias: A Prospective Non-Randomized Interventional Study
To compare accelerated collagen crosslinking (CXL) alone, CXL with simultaneous intrastromal corneal ring segments (CXL-ICR), and CXL with simultaneous topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (CXL-TG-PRK) in progressive keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) or laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK)-induced ectasia.

Femtosecond laser with integrated anterior segment optical coherence tomography as a tool to detect pre-existing posterior capsular dehiscence and increase safety in posterior polar cataracts
To determine the efficacy of femtosecond integrated anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) for the detection of posterior capsular dehiscence in posterior polar cataracts (PPC). To evaluate the safety of phacoemulsification in these eyes undergoing Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS). (Source: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery)

Transient corneal ectasia after phacoemulsification in an eye with INTRACOR
We report a case of transient corneal ectasia developed after phacoemulsification in an eye previously treated with INTRACOR. There was a myopic refractive surprise after the cataract surgery. Corneal tomography showed an increase in keratometry and elevation profile compared to preoperative exam. Soft contact lens and intraocular pressure lowering medications were prescribed as interim treatment. Clinical improvement was seen gradually, and resolution of myopia and ectasia was achieved at 3 months. (Source: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery)

The Risk of Posterior Capsule Rupture during Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery in Eyes with Previous Intravitreal Anti Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Injections.
Prior intravitreal anti-VEGF injections are a significant under reported risk factor for posterior capsule rupture during cataract surgery. There is a dose related risk which is statistically and clinically significant. (Source: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery)

Safety and efficacy of a small aperture capsular bag fixated intraocular lens in eyes with severe corneal irregularities
Intraocular lens (IOL) surgery in eyes with severe corneal irregularities is challenging. The aim of this study was to implant a small aperture lens (IC-8, Acufocus) in these cases to reduce high order aberrations and provide better central visual acuity.

Nuclear scaffold: Three-dimensional indigenous capsular bag support combined with IOL scaffold and capsular tension ring to prevent posterior capsule rupture in zonulopathy
We describe a technique for performing phacoemulsification in eyes with zonular fiber dehiscence of less than 90 degrees using hard nuclear fragments as a scaffold. In conjunction with a capsular tension ring (CTR), hard nuclear fragments and the intraocular lens (IOL) are used as scaffolds during different steps of nuclear emulsification to prevent posterior capsule rupture and aggravation of zonulopathy. Devices such as capsular hooks, CTRs, and IOLs are used to support the capsular bag associated with zonulopathy. (Source: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery)
