Higher-order aberrations after LASIK
Kamiya et al compared visual acuity (VA), higher order aberrations (HOAs) and corneal asphericity after femtosecond lenticule extraction (FLEx) and wavefront-guided laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (wfg-LASIK) in 43 myopic eyes (23 patients) before and 3 months after surgery. Although, there was no significant difference in VA and total HOAs between the two procedures, FLEx induced significantly fewer ocular fourth-order aberrations than wfg-LASIK.
Cluster of Urrets-Zavalia syndrome
Nizamani et al analysed possible causes and risk factors in a cluster of Urrets-Zavalia Syndrome (UZS), which occurred as a sequel of toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) after uneventful cataract surgery (15 cases, incidence 0.08%). All cases presented with corneal oedema, anterior chamber reaction and fixed dilated pupils on first postoperative day. One month postoperatively, the anterior segment inflammation improved considerably in all patients. Ringer lactate solution was found to be the offending agent of TASS.
