    The role of a femtosecond laser in congenital cataract associated with aniridia
    (2018) GAZZOLA, Luisa Nardino; GHEM, Mariela Regina Dalmarco; SERPE, Crislaine; SANTHIAGO, Marcony Rodrigues; MELLO, Glauco Reggiani
    A patient with bilateral aniridia and progressive congenital cataract was treated at the age of 7 years through phacoaspiration with femtosecond laser capsulotomy, in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation, and pars plana vitrectomy (combined with posterior capsulotomy). The diameter of the planned anterior capsulotomy was 4.7 mm; however, due to elevated tension in the young capsular bag, the capsulotomy diameter increased (to around 6 mm) shortly after release of the tension by the laser. In addition, the patient had a very flat and small cornea, causing the formation of air bubbles in the curved laser interface. This was addressed by filling the gap by using a viscoelastic. A very similar situation was observed in both eyes. Use of the femtosecond laser facilitated a successful outcome in a complex congenital cataract case with a safe capsulotomy that ensured in-the-bag intraocular lens placement.

    Role of Corneal Epithelial Measurements in Differentiating Eyes with Stable Keratoconus from Eyes that Are Progressing
    (2023) SANTHIAGO, Marcony R.; STIVAL, Larissa R.; ARAUJO, Daniella C.; KARA-JUNIOR, Newton; TOLEDO, Marcia C.
    Purpose: To evaluate measures of corneal epithelium in eyes that showed documented signs of keratoconus (KC) progression and compare with stable eyes and healthy controls. Also, to determine the correlation of these epithelial parameters with maximum keratometry (K max) and pachymetry. Design: Prospective, observational, comparative study. Participants: One-hundred and fifty eyes from 150 patients. The study included 50 eyes from patients with documented KC progression, 50 eyes with stable KC, and 50 clinically normal eyes to serve as controls. Methods: A spectral-domain (SD)-OCT imaging was obtained in all eyes, and mean values were compared between the groups. The correlation of epithelial parameters with K max and thinnest pachymetry was also investigated. Main Outcome Measures: For the purposes of this study, the epithelial measures maximum, minimum, superior, and inferior values as well as the difference between the minimum and maximum (min-max) and epithelial standard deviation were considered, obtained from SD-OCT and compared between groups. Measurements of the thinnest point and min-max in pachymetry were also recorded. Results: The only epithelial parameter that presented a statistically significant difference between stable and progressive KC was epithelium min-max. Although stable KC presented epithelium min-max mean values of -18.2 +/- 6.6, progressive KC eyes presented mean values of -23.4 +/- 10.3 (P < 0.0001). Epithelial maximum (P = 0.16), minimum (P = 0.25), superior (P = 0.28), inferior (P = 0.23), and standard deviation (P = 0.25) values were not significantly different between stable and progressive eyes. Difference min-max pachymetry points in stable (-108.3 +/- 33.5) and progressive KC (-115.2 +/- 56.0) were not significantly different (P = 0.723). There was no significant correlation between epithelium min-max with corneal thinning (P = 0.39) or K max (P = 0.09) regardless of disease progression. Conclusions: Epithelial measures are useful to identify KC eyes that are progressing; the parameters that measure the difference between min-max epithelium points were significantly different between stable and progressive groups, unlike this difference in pachymetry. Finally, this epithelial parameter seems to be inde-pendent of corneal thinning and K max. Financial Disclosure(s): Proprietary or commercial disclosure may be found after the references.

    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, Marta
    OBJECTIVES: 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.

    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, Marta
    Purpose: 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.

    Analysis of ocular cyclotorsion in lying position after peribulbar block and topical anesthesia
    (2014) KARA-JUNIOR, Newton; MOURAD, Paula C.; MORAES, Renata L. B.; MORAES, Renata L. B.; PIVA, Caroline; SANTHIAGO, Marcony Rodrigues
    Purpose: Evaluate the magnitude of cyclotorsion during cataract surgery in patients with indication for intraocular toric lenses comparing the results after peribulbar and after topical anesthesia. Methods: This prospective study comprised 112 eyes that underwent cataract surgery with implantation of toric intraocular lens by topical anesthesia or peribulbar block. We estimated how many degrees of cyclotorsion occurred after topical anesthesia and peribulbar block with the patient in supine position. A tag was performed in the position of 180 degrees of the right eye and zero degrees of the left eye, with the patient seated. Afterwards, it was requested a change to the supine position and then a new dial in 180 and zero degrees respectively from right and left eye were made. Results: The current study demonstrated that patients submitted to cataract surgery with implantation of toriclens under local anesthesia showed approximately 6.89 degrees of incyclotorsion (82 eyes) and 6.93 degrees of excyclotorsion (38 eyes) and a mean of cyclotorsion of 6.91 degrees. Patients undergoing peribulbar block showed 5.68 degrees of incyclotorsion (73 eyes) and 4.81 degrees of excyclotorsion (47 eyes) and a mean of cyclotorsion of 4.92 degrees. Conclusion: Through the study we can see that the movement of incyclotorsion in patients undergoing peribulbar anesthesia was lower when compared to topical anesthesia. This is relevant since the greater the incyclotorsion, the lower the predictability of the surgery and the lower the chance of obtaining excellent results in the final refractometric.

    Topical Losartan Decreases Myofibroblast Generation But Not Corneal Opacity After Surface Blast-Simulating Irregular PTK in Rabbits
    (2023) SAMPAIO, Lycia Pedral; VILLABONA-MARTINEZ, Valeria; SHIJU, Thomas Michael; SANTHIAGO, Marcony R.; WILSON, Steven E.
    Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of topical losartan after blast injury-simulating irregular phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) in rabbits.Methods: Twelve NZW rabbits underwent 100 pulse 6.5 mm diameter PTK over a metal screen to generate severe surface irregularity and inhibit epithelial basement membrane regeneration. Corneas were treated with 0.8 mg/mL losartan in balanced salt solution (BSS) or BSS 50 mu L six times per day for six weeks after PTK. All corneas had slit lamp photography, with and without 1% fluorescein at two, four, and six weeks after PTK, and were analyzed using immunohistochemistry for the myofibroblast marker alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA), keratocyte marker keratocan, mesenchymal cell marker vimentin, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1, and collagen type IV.Results: Topical 0.8 mg/mL losartan six times a day significantly decreased anterior stromal alpha-SMA intensity units compared to BSS at six weeks after anterior stromal irregularity-inducing screened PTK (P = 0.009). Central corneal opacity, however, was not significantly different between the two groups. Keratocan, vimentin, TGF-beta 1, or collagen type IV levels in the anterior stroma were not significantly different between the two groups.Conclusions: Topical losartan effectively decreased myofibroblast generation after surface blast simulation irregular PTK. However, these results suggest initial maskingsmoothing PTK, along with adjuvant topical losartan therapy, may be needed to decrease corneal stromal opacity after traumatic injuries that produce severe surface irregularity.Translational Relevance: Topical losartan decreased scar-producing stromal myofibroblasts after irregular PTK over a metal screen but early smoothing of irregularity would also likely be needed to significantly decrease corneal opacity.

    Safety of warfarin therapy during cataract surgery under topical anesthesia
    (2015) KARA-JUNIOR, Newton; SANTHIAGO, Marcony R.; ALMEIDA, Hirlana Gomes; RAIZA, Ana Carolina
    Purpose: To analyze the safety of warfarin therapy during cataract surgery under topical anesthesia. Methods: This was a prospective nonrandomized comparative study of 60 eyes of 60 patients treated with or without concurrent oral warfarin anticoagulant therapy, referred for cataract surgery under topical anesthesia. The sample included a treatment (n=30) and a control (n=30) group. Results: There were no records of intraoperative or postoperative intracameral bleeding complications in both the groups. At 1-month postoperative follow-up, 90.0% of patients presented spectacle-corrected visual acuity of at least 20/40. Conclusion: Cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with topical anesthesia can be successfully conducted without discontinuing warfarin.

    The Corneal Basement Membranes and Stromal Fibrosis
    (2018) MEDEIROS, Carla S.; MARINO, Gustavo K.; SANTHIAGO, Marcony R.; WILSON, Steven E.
    PURPOSE. The purpose of this review was to provide detailed insights into the pathophysiology of myofibroblast-mediated fibrosis (scarring or late haze) after corneal injury, surgery, or infection. METHOD. Literature review. RESULTS. The epithelium and epithelial basement membrane (EBM) and/or endothelium and Descemet's basement membrane (BM) are commonly disrupted after corneal injuries, surgeries, and infections. Regeneration of these critical regulatory structures relies on the coordinated production of BM components, including laminins, nidogens, perlecan, and collagen type IV by epithelial, endothelial, and keratocyte cells. Whether a cornea, or an area in the cornea, heals with transparency or fibrosis may be determined by whether there is injury to one or both corneal basement membranes (EBM and/or Descemet's BM) and delayed or defective regeneration or replacement of the BM. These opaque myofibroblasts, and the disordered extracellular matrix these cells produce, persist in the stroma until the EBM and/or Descemet's BM is regenerated or replaced. CONCLUSIONS. Corneal stromal fibrosis (also termed ""stromal scarring'' or ""late haze'') occurs as a consequence of BM injury and defective regeneration in both the anterior (EBM) and posterior (Descemet's BM) cornea. The resolution of fibrosis and return of stromal transparency depends on reestablished BM structure and function. It is hypothesized that defective regeneration of the EBM or Descemet's BM allows key profibrotic growth factors, including transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta 1) and TGF-beta 2, to penetrate the stroma at sustained levels necessary to drive the development and maintenance of mature opacity-producing myofibroblasts from myofibroblast precursors cells, and studies suggest that perlecan and collagen type IV are the critical components in EBM and Descemet's BM that bind TGF-beta 1, TGF-beta 2, platelet-derived growth factor, and possibly other growth factors, and regulate their bioavailability and function during homeostasis and corneal wound healing.

    Effect of aspherical and yellow tinted intraocular lens on blue-on-yellow perimetry
    (2012) ESPINDOLA, Rodrigo Franca de; SANTHIAGO, Marcony Rodrigues de; KARA-JUNIOR, Newton
    Purpose: To investigate the possible effect of aspherical or yellow tinted intraocular lens (IOL) on contrast sensitivity and blue-on-yellow perimetry. Methods: This prospective randomized bilateral double-masked clinical study included 52 patients with visually significant bilateral cataracts divided in two groups; 25 patients (50 eyes) received aspherical intraocular lens in one eye and spherical intraocular lens in the fellow eye; and 27 patients (54 eyes) received ultraviolet and blue light filter (yellow tinted) IOL implantation in one eye and acrylic ultraviolet filter IOL in the fellow eye. The primary outcome measures were contrast sensitivity and blue-on-yellow perimetry values (mean deviation [MD] and pattern standard deviation [PSD]) investigated two years after surgery. The results were compared intra-individually. Results: There was a statistically significant between-group (aspherical and spherical intraocular lens) difference in contrast sensitivity under photopic conditions at 12 cycles per degree and under mesopic conditions at all spatial frequencies. There were no between-group significant differences (yellow tinted and clear intraocular lens) under photopic or mesopic conditions. There was no statistically significant difference between all intraocular lens in MD or PSD. Conclusion: Contrast sensitivity was better under mesopic conditions with aspherical intraocular lens. Blue-on-yellow perimetry did not appear to be affected by aspherical or yellow tinted intraocular lens. Further studies with a larger sample should be carried out to confirm or not that hypotheses.
