Cataract surgery and intraocular lenses
In a retrospective 200-eye comparison, IOL-shell surgery used less ultrasound energy and had less one-month endothelial cell loss.

doi: 10.1038/s41598-026-61169-3In a 105-eye white-cataract series, posterior capsule rupture occurred twice; the study had no comparative control group.
doi: 10.1186/s12886-026-04859-wAn RCT found no one-year PCO difference between two monofocal IOLs with similar designs but different acrylic materials.
doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000001814In 72 eyes, decentration was similar, but iris-claw IOLs had less tilt and greater postsaccadic oscillation than flanged scleral-fixated lenses.
doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000001975A 631-eye meta-analysis found similar corrected acuity but different refractive and operative profiles for two secondary-IOL strategies.
doi: 10.1007/s00417-026-07263-8A meta-analysis of 10 studies and 57,564 eyes found no clear difference in macular edema, intraocular pressure or corrected vision.
doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000002061In a 71-eye series, combined surgery had a 9% posterior capsule tear rate; the order of surgical steps was associated with the overall complication rate.
doi: 10.1007/s00417-026-07368-0In 249 eyes, Kane had the lowest absolute error and four modern formulas generally outperformed traditional methods; EVO and Barrett performed better in long eyes.
doi: 10.1155/joph/6375056In a multicenter database, modern formulas outperformed Haigis-L and Shammas-PL, while versions using posterior corneal curvature were more accurate than corresponding no-PCC methods.
