In a randomized trial of 142 patients, a 180-degree nuclear flip reduced total and effective phacoemulsification time in cataracts up to grade III.
doi: 10.1007/s40123-026-01435-9A randomized trial in 66 patients found lower pressure and a lower medication burden at two years after phacoemulsification with ECP than after phacoemulsification alone.
doi: 10.1097/IJG.0000000000002693A meta-analysis of 12 comparative studies found that toric IOLs reduced residual cylinder and improved uncorrected distance vision in cataract patients with pre-existing corneal astigmatism.
doi: 10.3389/fmed.2026.1777267In an 11-eye pilot series with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, combining central Descemet stripping with cataract surgery produced a small average hyperopic shift from the planned refraction.
doi: 10.1016/j.jcjo.2026.03.022In a 43-eye series, refraction after a new hydrophobic monofocal C-loop IOL shifted myopically during the first month, while accuracy improved substantially by week one.
doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000050119In 164 eyes longer than 26 mm, Barrett Universal II had the lowest mean absolute error but did not significantly outperform SRK/T or Haigis.
doi: 10.4103/IJO.IJO_2193_25In a randomized study of 56 eyes, sulcus placement with optic capture after a capsular tension ring produced a more myopic result than standard in-the-bag implantation.
doi: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2026.105539A systematic review of 19 reports and 1,564 eyes assessed residual cylinder, rotation and reoperation after at least one year. Correction generally persisted to two years, but longer evidence was sparse.
doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000001917A meta-analysis of 28 studies found lower mean absolute error with Hill-RBF 3.0 than with Haigis, Holladay 1 and SRK/T. Performance was more often comparable against newer formulas.
doi: 10.1016/j.jcjo.2026.01.005A network meta-analysis of 15 studies and 1,178 eyes shorter than 22 mm placed Kane, Haigis and Olsen Standalone among the most accurate formulas. A statistically definitive single winner has not emerged.
