- Comparison of different surgical approaches for pediatric cataracts: complications and rates of additional surgery during long-term follow-up(2019) KOCH, Camila R.; KARA-JUNIOR, Newton; SANTHIAGO, Marcony R.; MORALES, MartaOBJECTIVES: To compare long-term postoperative complications of pediatric cataract surgery with primary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation associated with posterior capsulotomy (PC) and anterior vitrectomy (AV) between patients treated with a corneal or pars plicata/pars plana approach. METHODS: Children who underwent cataract surgery with in-the-bag primary IOL implantation were divided into two groups according to PC and AV surgical approach: a corneal approach (group 1) and a pars plicata/pars plana approach (group 2). Only patients with a follow-up duration of more than two years were included. Longterm surgical outcomes were retrospectively reported. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 10.00 +/- 3.13 years. No cases of glaucoma or retinal detachment were reported. The mean age at surgery was 34.57 +/- 22.66 months. Forty-six children were included (27 eyes in group 1 and 29 eyes in group 2). The most frequent postoperative complication was corectopia, followed by visual axis opacification. Both complications occurred more frequently in group 1 (p < 0.001). After cataract surgery, the rate of additional surgeries in group 1 was 51.9%, while in group 2, the rate was 27.6% (p=0.1132). CONCLUSION: The pars plicata/pars plana approach with PC and vitrectomy with primary in-the-bag IOL implantation for pediatric cataracts is a safe procedure.
- Ocular risk management in patients undergoing general anesthesia: an analysis of 39,431 surgeries(2015) KARA-JUNIOR, Newton; ESPINDOLA, Rodrigo Franca de; VALVERDE FILHO, Joao; ROSA, Christiane Pellegrino; OTTOBONI, Andre; SILVA, Enis DonizeteOBJECTIVE: This study sought to describe and analyze ocular findings associated with nonocular surgery in patients who underwent general anesthesia. METHODS: The authors retrospectively collected a series of 39,431 surgeries using standardized data forms. RESULTS: Ocular findings were reported in 9 cases (2.3: 10,000), which involved patients with a mean age of 58.9 +/- 19.5 years. These cases involved patients classified as ASA I (33%), ASA II (55%) or ASA III (11%). General anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil was used in 4 cases, balanced general anesthesia was used in 4 cases, and regional block was used in combination with balanced general anesthesia in one case. Five patients (55%) underwent surgery in the supine position, one patient (11%) underwent surgery in the lithotomy position, two patients (22%) underwent surgery in the prone position, and one patient (11%) underwent surgery in the lateral position. Ocular hyperemia was detected in most (77%) of the 9 cases with ocular findings; pain/burning of the eyes, visual impairment, eye discharge and photophobia were observed in 55%, 11%, 11% and 11%, respectively, of these 9 cases. No cases involved permanent ocular injury or vision loss. CONCLUSION: Ophthalmological findings after surgeries were uncommon, and most of the included patients were relatively healthy. Minor complications, such as dehydration or superficial ocular trauma, should be prevented by following systematic protocols that provide appropriate ocular occlusion with a lubricating ointment and protect the eye with an acrylic occluder. These procedures will refine the quality of anesthesia services and avoid discomfort among patients, surgeons and anesthesia staff.
- Long-term results of in-the-bag primary intraocular lens implantation in children younger than 24 months(2021) KOCH, Camila Ribeiro; KARA-JUNIOR, Newton; SANTHIAGO, Marcony Rodrigues; MORALES, MartaPurpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the safety of primary intraocular lens implantation in a large number of eyes in children aged <24 months. Methods: The medical records of patients aged 5-24 months, who underwent primary intraocular lens implantation in the capsular bag, were reviewed. A foldable three-piece acrylic intraocular lens was implanted by the same surgeon using a single surgical technique. Patients who had <1 year of follow-up after the surgery were excluded. The main outcome measurements included visual acuity, myopic shift, follow-up complications, and additional surgeries. Results: Sixty-eight patients (93 eyes) were analyzed. The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 15.06 +/- 6.19 months (range: 5-24 months), and the spherical equivalent 1 month after surgery was 3.62 +/- 2.32 D. After 5.67 +/- 3.10 years, the spherical equivalent was -0.09 +/- 3.22 D, and the corrected distance visual acuity was 0.33 +/- 0.33 and 0.64 +/- 0.43 logMAR in bilateral and unilateral cases, respectively (p=0.000). The highest myopic shift was observed in infants who underwent surgery at ages 5 and 6 months. The most frequent complications included visual axis opacification and corectopia. Glaucoma and retinal detachment were not reported. Conclusion: Primary in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation in children aged 5-24 months is safe, and is associated with low rates of adverse events and additional surgery.

- Predictability and Vector Analysis of Laser In Situ Keratomileusis for Residual Errors in Eyes Implanted With Different Multifocal Intraocular Lenses(2016) SANTHIAGO, Marcony R.; VENTURA, Bruna V.; GHANEM, Ramon C.; KARA-JUNIOR, Newton; MORAES JR., Haroldo V.; GHANEM, EmirPurpose:To investigate potential differences in predictability, efficacy, and safety of corneal excimer laser to correct residual myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism in eyes previously implanted with multifocal intraocular lenses using distinct optical surfaces and platforms for multifocality.Methods:This prospective comparative study included 37 eyes submitted to laser in situ keratomileusis correction for residual errors after implantation of either an apodized diffractive-refractive (Restor) or a full-diffractive (Tecnis) multifocal intraocular lens. Data analysis included investigation of predictability, efficacy, and safety of excimer laser surgery to correct residual errors. A double-angle plot, using vector analysis, was also created to evaluate predictability of astigmatism correction.Results:At 6-month follow-up, statistical analyses revealed a significant improvement when comparing preoperative (0.51 0.25 and 0.44 +/- 0.18) and postoperative values (0.17 +/- 0.10 and 0.09 +/- 0.07) of uncorrected distance visual acuity (P < 0.0001 and <0.0001), preoperative (0.92 +/- 0.61 and 1.02 +/- 0.45) and postoperative values (0.33 +/- 0.23 and 0.19 +/- 0.17) of manifest refractive spherical equivalent (P = 0.0006 and <0.0001), and preoperative (-1.08 +/- 0.70 and -0.65 +/- 0.42) and postoperative values (-0.25 +/- 0.28 and -0.14 +/- 0.21) of astigmatism (P < 0.0001 and <0.0001) in eyes implanted with Restor and Tecnis, respectively. Vector analysis revealed a predictable correction of astigmatism in all groups. Ninety-two percent of total eyes achieved a manifest refractive spherical equivalent within +/- 0.5 of emmetropia.Conclusions:Corneal excimer laser refractive surgery seems to be equally effective to correct different residual errors, including astigmatism, in eyes implanted with intraocular lenses with various platforms for multifocality.
- Evaluation of Corneal Parameters with Dual Scheimpflug Imaging in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis(2018) GOMES, Beatriz Fiuza; SANTHIAGO, Marcony R.; KARA-JUNIOR, Newton; MORAES JR., Haroldo VieiraPurpose: To evaluate the cornea of systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients with Dual Scheimpflug Imaging.Methods: Twenty consecutive SSc patients and 20 age and sex matched controls were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Corneal measurements were acquired by dual Scheimpflug analyzer.Results: SSc patients had statistically significant steeper corneas than the control group. The mean anterior curvature-average (SimK) was 44.931.64 D (mean +/- standard deviation) in SSc and 43.61 +/- 0.99D in control group, p=0.01. Posterior curvature was also steeper in SSc patients compared to controls (p=0.02). There was no statistically significant difference regarding central average pachymetry (p=0.07), thinnest pachymetry (p=0.09).Conclusions: Patients with SSc present with steeper corneas than controls.
