We describe a case of anteriorly dislocated, Yamane-fixated secondary intraocular lens (IOLs) with pigmentary dispersion syndrome. The patient presented with significant visual impairment and elevated intraocular pressure despite being maximally treated with all topical antihypertensive medications. The iris-IOL touch was confirmed by ultrasound biomicroscopy, and fundus examination revealed evidence of pigment granules on the optic disc. The previous Yamane-fixated secondary IOL was repositioned using a double-needle adaptation of Yamane technique and Kim’s modification of scleral-fixated IOLs. To our knowledge, this is the first ever documented case of double-needle Yamane technique of a previous Yamane-fixated eye. In cases of inadequate capsular support, the development of new surgical techniques for the fixation of IOL continues to improve the safety and efficacy of these complicated surgeries.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to report the incidence of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) after intravitreal injection (IVI) of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in Japanese patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). A retrospective study of chart review of patients who underwent ≥ 10 intravitreal anti-VEGF injections between April 2009 and December 2019 was conducted. Elevated IOP was defined as IOP ≥ 25 mmHg at one visit. Cases with elevated IOP resulting from IVI were identified. Furthermore, the association between elevated IOP and some parameters, as the risk factors that influence elevated IOP, was investigated. A total of 402 eyes of 370 patients were included in this study. Twenty-eight eyes of 26 patients (7.0%) were identified as cases with elevated IOP after IVI. The mean time of elevation after baseline was 50.6 ± 26.5 months. History of glaucoma (p = 0.021; odds ratio, 5.85), treatment modality (p = 0.019; odds ratio, 6.32), and total number of injections (p = 0.003; odds ratio, 1.03) were significantly associated with elevated IOP. A late complication of elevated IOP is associated with IVI in patients with AMD. Particularly, history of glaucoma and treat and extend regimen with frequent injections were found to be risk factors of elevated IOP.

End Stage

A 88-year-old female who was being treated for end-stage pseudoexfoliation syndrome was referred to our hospital for treatment of dislocated intraocular lens (IOL) and the elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and in the right eye (RE). At the first visit to our hospital, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.2 in the RE and 0.02 in the left eye (LE). IOP was 47 mm Hg in the RE and 21 mm Hg in the LE. Slit-lamp examination showed no abnormalities in anterior segments and dislocated IOL in the RE. Fundus photograph showed optic disc pallor in both eyes. We performed the combined therapy of flanged intrascleral IOL fixation with the double-needle technique and trabeculectomy. Throughout the follow-up period, BCVA slightly improved from 0.2 to 0.4 in the RE. The angle of tilt of the IOL was 6.6, 7.9, and 8.7° as measured by swept-source optical coherence tomography at 1, 4, and 6 months after the surgery, respectively. The IOP remained less than 10 mm Hg without having to administer any other glaucoma medications. Furthermore, any complications associated with the surgery were not confirmed.
