None of the eyes had significant zonular weakness.METHODSStudy conducted at Raghudeep Eye Hospital, India. Explantation of the decentered/dislocated IOL along with pars plana vitrectomy and intrascleral fixation of a three-piece foldable IOL using the Yamane technique was performed for all eyes.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURESDemographic profile, associated risk factors, visual outcomes and postoperative complications following IOL exchange in dead bag syndrome.RESULTSThirty eyes had in-the-bag IOL decentration and 16 had total dislocation of the IOL into the vitreous cavity. The mean age was 68.7 ± 8.9 (standard deviation, SD) years and 91% patients were males. 36 patients had unilateral IOL disease, whereas 7 had bilateral dead bag syndrome, with or without clinically significant IOL decentration. The mean duration from primary cataract surgery to re-surgery was 16.8 years. More than 50% eyes had axial myopia (axial length > 24mm). Only 4 eyes (9.3%) had associated pseudoexfoliation. Mean followup after IOL exchange surgery was 10.9 + 9.8 (SD) months. The single piece hydrophobic acrylic IOL was the most commonly explanted IOL. Intraoperatively, Soemmering's ring was seen in 71.7% (31) eyes. Eighty-seven % eyes had an improvement in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) following surgery, with 95% eyes having a CDVA of ≤0.3 LogMAR. Postoperatively, following complications were seen - transient IOP spike in 8 (17%) eyes and cystoid macular edema in 6 eyes (13%). Three eyes had a pre-existing glaucoma, which remained controlled at final followup.CONCLUSIONThe major risk factors for the dead bag syndrome are male gender, axial myopia and the duration of posterior capsule rupture event from the cataract surgery. Bilaterality and presence of Soemmering's ring in majority of the cases are new observations, warranting further research. Outcomes following surgery are satisfactory.","PeriodicalId":7568,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142991675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients with a history of lensectomy or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) prior to cataract surgery were excluded.INTERVENTIONIVI therapy within twenty years of cataract surgery.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURESRate of retinal detachment (RD), RD repair, anterior vitrectomy, retained lens, dislocated intraocular lens (IOL), need for a secondary lens procedure, and endophthalmitis within 14, 30, and 90 days of cataract surgery.RESULTSPrior to PSM, 16,356 and 512,152 patients did and did not, respectively, have IVI pharmacotherapy prior to cataract surgery. After PSM, both groups had 14,240 patients. A higher rate (RR 1.34; 95% CI, 1.16-1.54; p<0.0005) of aggregate complications within 90 days of cataract surgery was found in the group with prior IVI (447/13,719 = 3.3%) relative to controls (340/13,945=2.4%). The exposure group saw an increased risk of RD repair at 30 days (RR 1.84; 95% CI, 1.27-2.66; p=0.001) and 90 days (RR 2.05; 95% CI, 1.65-2.54; p<0.0005). No other complications were associated with IVI. In particular, IVI was not associated with higher rates of anterior vitrectomy except in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) at 90 days (RR 1.24; 95% CI, 0.85-1.79; p=0.001). Patients with DR and prior IVI had a higher risk of lensectomy, RD repair, and secondary procedures (p < 0.0005 for all) compared to DR patients without prior IVI.CONCLUSIONSPatients with prior IVI saw more complications following cataract surgery, primarily for RD. IVI treatment history should be considered in pre-operative planning.","PeriodicalId":7568,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142991672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondary aims included age-related patterns of uveitic treatments and complications.DESIGNRetrospective clinical cohort study Methods: 4,395 participants presenting with uveitis to a single center from January 2009 to December 2023 were included.RESULTSThe median age at presentation was 45.1 years (IQR 32.2-60.3). Infections were more frequent in both younger (0-19 years) and older (≥60 years) participants. Toxoplasmosis was the most frequent cause of infectious uveitis in younger (0-19 years; 12.5%) participants and herpes zoster virus was the most prevalent cause of uveitis in adults 40+ years of age (40-59 years, 7.1%; 60-79 years, 20.5%; 80+years, 38.6%). Tumor-related uveitic masquerades demonstrated a significant association with increasing age (p<0.001). Younger individuals were more likely to require steroid-sparing immunosuppression (p<0.001) and more likely to require a switch from initial DMARD therapy (p<0.001). Older subjects were more likely to develop cystoid macular edema, raised intraocular pressure and cataract (p<0.001), while younger subjects were more likely to develop posterior synechiae (P=0.001), papillitis (p<0.001) and choroidal neovascular membrane (p=0.002).CONCLUSIONSAge appears to be a key factor influencing the underlying etiology and clinical course of uveitis. Investigations should be tailored to the clinical presentation and consideration of the individuals presenting age may provide clues as to the underlying cause of disease and to guide treatment.","PeriodicalId":7568,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142991676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
