After-cataract
After-cataract, or posterior capsule opacification (PCO, ICD-11 9B10.22), is the most common complication of cataract surgery: residual lens epithelial cells cloud the posterior capsule, treated by outpatient Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy.
Cataract surgery
Cataract surgery removes the eye's clouded lens and implants an intraocular lens; standard technique is Kelman's 1967 phacoemulsification through sub-3 mm incisions, evolved from couching and Daviel's 1750 extraction.
Floppy iris syndrome
Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS), also called floppy iris syndrome, is a triad of billowing iris, iris prolapse, and progressive miosis during cataract surgery, strongly linked to tamsulosin (Flomax) use for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Intraocular medulloepithelioma
Intraocular medulloepithelioma, also called diktyoma, is a rare childhood embryonal tumor of the non-pigmented ciliary epithelium, the second most common pediatric intraocular tumor after retinoblastoma, linked to DICER1 mutations and treated mainly by enucleation.
Multifocal Intraocular Lenses
Multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs), including bifocal, trifocal, refractive, and diffractive designs, are implanted IOLs giving near, intermediate, and distance vision after cataract surgery, trading reduced contrast sensitivity and halos for spectacle independence.
