Purpose: To assess current trends in vitreoretinal surgical fellowship training for placement of secondary intraocular lenses (IOLs). Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to vitreoretinal surgical fellowship graduates who completed their program between 2019 and 2023. Results: Completed responses were obtained from 70 (22.5%) of 311 eligible recipients. Training settings included academic (80%), hybrid academic/private practice (15%), and private practice (5%). During their fellowship, the majority of respondents reported 10 or fewer cases using anterior chamber (AC) IOLs (69%), 5 to 50 cases using scleral-sutured IOLs (64%), and 5 to 25 cases using sutureless scleral-fixated IOLs (52%). Most fellows (79%) did not have exposure to iris-fixated IOL placement during fellowship training. The Akreos AO60 (78%) and Envista MX60 (10%) IOLs were the most common choice for scleral-sutured placement. Most fellows (67%) placed fewer than 10 secondary IOLs through scleral tunnels. Overall, scleral-sutured IOL placement (Akreos Gore-Tex [polytetrafluoroethylene] sutured, 49%) and scleral-fixated IOLs (modified Yamane, 45%) were the preferred and most comfortable surgical techniques for recent graduates after completing training. There was a significant association between surgical case volume during fellowship training and self-reported competency for each type of secondary IOL ( P ≤ .005). Conclusions: The majority of vitreoretinal surgical fellows receive limited training in the placement of AC IOLs or construction of scleral tunnels during their fellowship. Aligned with their experience during fellowship, recent graduates generally prefer implanting scleral-fixated or scleral-sutured IOLs. Analysis of trainees’ exposure to various techniques and postgraduate surgical preferences may identify areas for improvement in surgical education.

Refractive Surgery - Types of Procedures, Risks, and Benefits

Short-sightedness -myopia-, is the most common refractive error in the world. The number of myopic people is rising worldwide. It causes range from those that are genetically determined to those influenced by the external environment. Several risks factors have been described that increase the likelihood of an increase in myopia. Manifestations of myopia in the eye vary, but they affect almost the entire eyeball; whether it’s the cornea, the anterior chamber, or the posterior segment of the eye. It is on the posterior segment that damage to the intraocular tissues can occur, which seriously endangers visual functions. Therefore, the prevention of myopia plays an important role in stabilizing and limiting its growth.

Uveal melanoma (UM) is an ocular tumor with a dismal prognosis. It is the most frequent primary intraocular tumor in adults. The primary goal of treatment for uveal melanomas is to prevent metastasis. Despite outstanding advances in the diagnosis and treatment of primary UM, nearly 50% of patients develop metastases via hematogenous dissemination. Estimation of prognosis for patients with UM can be achieved by detecting genetic alterations or epigenetic changes in the tumor tissues. However, these techniques are not always available. The clinicopathological characteristics with limited accuracy are widely used instead to predict metastatic potential. Identifying novel markers with prognostic potential can help refine the prognosis of UM patients. As we know, no existing therapy has a significantly better impact on preventing metastasis. Based on published theories, the key role is existing micrometastasis before therapy starts. Researchers are focusing on developing adjuvant systemic therapy for metastatic UM. Getting to know the cause of metastatic uveal melanoma is crucial in it.
