Purpose:
To describe a novel technique for direct perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL)-silicone oil exchange that aims to reduce the inherent risk of intraoperative intraocular pressure spike.
Methods:
We use the conventional setup for passive PFCL…

Background/Purpose:
Perfluorocarbon heavy liquid (PFCL) is used in vitreoretinal surgery to flatten the unsupported detached retina before insertion of silicone oil in cases of giant retinal tear or relaxing retinectomy. Direct exchange of PFCL for…
Purpose:
To report the efficacy of the perfluorocarbon liquid–air exchange with a head tilt toward the area of the giant retinal tear (GRT) using the heads-up surgery system to prevent retinal slippage during vitrectomy for GRT-associated retinal d…
Purpose:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accessibility and potential value of intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) during scleral suture intraocular lens (IOL) fixation.
Methods:
This was a prospective cohort study in the Department of Ophthalmology, Eye and ENT Hospital, Fudan University, China. Seven eyes with insufficient capsular support and undergoing two-point scleral suture IOL fixation were included. The potential value of iOCT was evaluated, as well as the safety and efficacy of the surgery.
Results:
Seven eyes were included. With a tailor-made iOCT, the structure of the anterior segment could be clearly visualized during the surgery. Intraoperatively, iOCT helped locate the proper place for fixation and access the position of the IOL. After an average 4.43-month follow-up, the spherical equivalent changed significantly (P 0.05). The IOL was well-centered with a horizontal and a vertical tilt of 0.74 ± 0.60° and 1.13 ± 0.65°, and decentration of 0.28 ± 0.12 mm and 0.30 ± 0.13 mm. The estimated IOL-induced astigmatism was −0.11 diopters (D) ± 0.46 D.
Conclusion:
Real-time high-resolution images of the anterior segment acquired by the iOCT helped the surgeon to achieve satisfactory results in scleral suture IOL fixation.
