PURPOSE: To study the effect on intraocular pressure (IOP) of implanting a new
gelatin stent at the time of cataract surgery in the treatment of open-angle
glaucoma (OAG).
SETTING: Multicenter university and private-practice settings.
DESIGN: Nonrandomized prospective clinical trial.
METHODS: The implantation of 2 models of a gelatin stent (Xen140 and Xen63) was
performed at the time of cataract surgery without mitomycin-C. Complete success
was defined as a postoperative IOP of less than 18 mm Hg and more than a 20%
reduction in IOP at 12 months without glaucoma medication. Failure was defined as
loss of light perception vision or worse, a need for additional glaucoma surgery,
or less than a 20% reduction in the IOP from baseline.
RESULTS: The study included 37 eyes of 37 patients. The mean preoperative IOP was
22.4 mm Hg ± 4.2 (SD) on 2.5 ± 1.4 medication classes. Twelve months
postoperatively, the mean IOP was reduced to 15.4 ± 3.0 mm Hg on 0.9 ± 1.0
medication classes (P < .0001). This resulted in a qualified success of 85.3% and
a complete success rate off medications of 47.1%. There were no failures.
CONCLUSION: Cataract surgery combined with implantation of the gelatin stent
resulted in a significant reduction in IOP in eyes with OAG.

PURPOSE: To determine the extent to which stereoscopic depth perception
influences the performance of tasks executed under an operating microscope.
SETTING: Laboratory of Experimental Ophthalmology, University Medical Center
Groningen, the Netherlands.
DESIGN: Experimental study.
METHODS: Medical students were assigned (on the basis of their stereoacuity) to a
stereo-sufficient group (depth perception ≤240 seconds of arc [arcsec]) or
stereo-deficient group (≥480 arcsec). They performed a bead-stringing task (a
mockup surgical test) under an operating microscope or a task on a cataract
surgery simulator. The stereo-sufficient subjects also performed the
bead-stringing task under artificial stereo-deficient conditions (binocular and
monocular viewing).
RESULTS: The study comprised 77 medical students. The stereo-sufficient subjects 
performed both tasks faster than the stereo-deficient subjects and artificially
stereo-deficient subjects (P ≤ .024). In addition, a within-group analysis
established that the stereo-sufficient subjects were faster at the bead-stringing
task with stereoscopic viewing than under artificial stereo-deficient conditions 
with binocular viewing (P ≤ .011).
CONCLUSIONS: Having stereovision resulted in better initial performance on
certain tasks involving the use of an operating microscope or cataract surgery
simulator. However, this study did not show that stereo deficiency necessarily
results in an inability to perform such tasks properly. Hence, it was not evident
that for admission to an ophthalmology residency program, stereovision should be 
judged more stringently than other traits.

We describe a surgical technique for management of zonular instability and
pupillary miosis using a pupil expansion device (Malyugin ring) in patients who
need cataract surgery. In this technique, the pupil expansion device is first
used in the usual fashion. After a capsulorhexis has been created, lateral
scrolls of the pupil expansion device are released and repositioned to entrap
both the anterior capsulorhexis and the pupil margin at the against-the-wound
meridian (3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position) to fixate the unstable capsular bag
to the iris. Phacoemulsification is performed, and the ring is removed after
intraocular lens implantation. With this method, capsular stabilization and pupil
expansion are achieved simultaneously with the same instrument.FINANCIAL

PURPOSE: To observe changes in fundus autofluorescence 2 years after implantation
of blue light-filtering (yellow-tinted) and ultraviolet light-filtering
(colorless) intraocular lenses (IOLs).
SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Nagoya City University
Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Nagoya, Japan, and the Department of
Ophthalmology, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
DESIGN: Prospective comparative observational study.
METHODS: Patients were enrolled who had cataract surgery with implantation of a
yellow-tinted or colorless IOL and for whom images were obtained on which the
fundus autofluorescence was measurable using the Heidelberg Retina Angiogram 2
postoperatively. The fundus autofluorescence in the images was classified into 8 
abnormal patterns based on the classification of the International Fundus
Autofluorescence Classification Group, The presence of normal fundus
autofluorescence, geographic atrophy, and wet age-related macular degeneration
(AMD) also was recorded. The fundus findings at baseline and 2 years
postoperatively were compared.
RESULTS: Fifty-two eyes with a yellow-tinted IOL and 79 eyes with a colorless IOL
were included. Abnormal fundus autofluorescence did not develop or increase in
the yellow-tinted IOL group; however, progressive abnormal fundus
autofluorescence developed or increased in 12 eyes (15.2%) in the colorless IOL
group (P = .0016). New drusen, geographic atrophy, and choroidal
neovascularization were observed mainly in the colorless IOL group. The incidence
of AMD was statistically significantly higher in the colorless IOL group (P =
.042).
CONCLUSIONS: Two years after cataract surgery, significant differences were seen 
in the progression of abnormal fundus autofluorescence between the 2 groups. The 
incidence of AMD was lower in eyes with a yellow-tinted IOL.

We describe an approach to transscleral fixation of a foldable posterior chamber 
intraocular lens (PC IOL) using a 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy. The technique
was used in 80 consecutive eyes, and the results were analyzed for corrected
distance visual acuity and safety indicators. Postoperative complications
included retinal detachment in 2 eyes (2.5%), Irvine-Gass cystoid macular edema
in 3 eyes (3.75%), persistent postoperative corneal edema in 1 eye (1.25%),
hyphema in 2 eyes (2.5%), and postoperative vitreous hemorrhage with spontaneous 
clearing in 1 eye (1.25%). The modified external approach with a 25-gauge pars
plana vitrectomy had relatively few complications, improved visual acuity in
patients requiring a transsclerally sutured PC IOL, and offered several
advantages over traditional anterior chamber and conventional techniques of
scleral suturing.FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE: Dr. Adelberg is a consultant to Bausch &

We describe the case of a patient who had cataract surgery with implantation of
the hydrophilic acrylic Tetraflex accommodating intraocular lens (IOL), with
subsequent development of capsulorhexis phimosis and in-the-bag IOL subluxation. 
Contraction of the capsular bag secondary to fibrosis resulted in significant
anterior flexing of the lens haptic component. Explantation of the IOL-capsular
bag complex was required 7 years after implantation. Histopathologic analysis
demonstrated multiple areas of thick anterior subcapsular fibrosis.
Pseudoexfoliative material was present throughout the surface of the lens
capsule. Intraocular lenses manufactured from hydrophilic acrylic material are
highly flexible and may be more susceptible to capsule contraction, even in the
absence of predisposing ocular and systemic conditions. This case highlights the 
importance of developing guidelines regarding patient screening and selection for
the appropriate use of accommodating and other highly flexible IOLs.FINANCIAL

PURPOSE: To evaluate the contribution of flap thickness and ablation depth to the
percentage of tissue altered (PTA) (flap thickness plus ablation depth divided by
central corneal thickness) in determining the risk for ectasia after laser in
situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
SETTING: University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil; Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland,
Ohio, and Emory Vision at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
DESIGN: Retrospective comparative study.
METHODS: The study included 1 group of eyes with bilateral normal preoperative
topography that developed ectasia after LASIK (ectasia group) and 2 control
groups of eyes that did not develop ectasia after LASIK, 1 with 40% or more of
tissue altered (high-PTA group) and 1 with flaps 120 μm or thicker (thick-flap
group).
RESULTS: The 29 eyes (16 patients) in the ectasia group had thicker flaps (146
μm) than the 24 eyes (20 patients) in the high-PTA group (118 μm) and derived a
higher portion of PTA from flap thickness. The ectasia group had a higher PTA
(45%) than the 100 eyes (50 patients) in the thick-flap group (34%) and greater
ablation depths (94 μm versus 43 μm) and derived a higher portion of the PTA from
ablation depth.
CONCLUSIONS: Flap thickness had more impact than ablation depth; however, thicker
flaps were insufficient to create ectasia unless coupled with greater ablation
depths and thus a high PTA. This percentage was a more significant factor than
the variables it comprised.

This is the first report of chronic postoperative endophthalmitis caused by
Massilia timonae. The gram-negative bacillus was isolated from a patient who
developed chronic endophthalmitis after cataract extraction. The microorganism
was cultured on brain-heart infusion broth and identified using the 16S rRNA
sequence analysis. Biochemically, the organism was positive for catalase and
oxidase and negative for arginine dihydrolase. It was pansensitive to β-lactams, 
fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole but
resistant to aztreonam. Massilia timonae is a new bacterium implicated in
postoperative chronic endophthalmitis. Eubacterial polymerase chain reaction was 
useful in identifying M timonae because phenotyping testing and conventional
algorithms could not identify it.FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE: No author has a financial
