#DidYouKnow that the Amon single-use forceps-needle is the only instrument on the market that combines the functions of a needle and forceps into a single instrument. Invented and developed in cooperation with Prof. Michael Amon (Vienna).    With its unique 27G hollow needle design and integrated micro forceps, surgeons can puncture tissue and grasp objects - such as IOL haptics or suture material in a single smooth maneuver. This significantly simplifies complex procedures like intrascleral IOL fixation and overcomes challenges in various techniques, including:   🔹 Creating precise sclerotomies  🔹 Grasping and externalizing IOL haptics or sutures, even at difficult angles 🔹 Facilitating secure IOL fixation or refixation 🔹 Overcoming challenges in different intrascleral fixation techniques (3-piece IOL, capsular tension rings, closed loop IOL, four-point suture fixation) #Ophthalmology #EyeSurgery #Amon #Collaboration #ForcepsNeedle #IOL #IOLFixation #Cataract #SurgicalInnovation

Complicated revisions demand effective solutions. Revision surgeries are a reality in the world of spinal fusion. The problem is that once an intervention has failed, there is a significant risk of future revisions failing - 70% of 1st revisions fail, 85% of 2nd revisions fail, and 95% of 3rd revisions fail (Daniell and Osti 2018). Most importantly, with each revision the patient’s quality of life worsens. For this reason, the new implant should immediately stabilise the joint and have increased bone-to-device contact area to enhance faster fusion and reduce the risk of further complications. This is a particular challenge when the anatomy has changed in unpredictable ways. A 39-year-old man experienced this firsthand after his disc replacement failed resulting in wear debris and bone breakdown. The surgeon chose a patient specific implant to fit the expanded intervertebral space, which had a multitude of bone voids and turrets. The post operative scans show successful realignment and fusion. Patient specific implants can be used to tackle the unique challenges of revision surgeries, thereby minimising the likelihood of reoccurrence and enhancing patient outcomes. #SpineSurgery #SpineHealth #PatientSpecific

Intraocular Lens (IOL) Opacification is a condition where the artificial lens implanted during cataract surgery becomes cloudy or opaque over time. This can lead to a decrease in vision, similar to the symptoms of a cataract, and may require further treatment. Key Points on IOL Opacification: 1. Types of Opacification: • Glistenings: Tiny fluid-filled vacuoles that form within the IOL, causing a sparkling effect. • Calcification: Deposition of calcium on the lens surface, leading to cloudiness. • Surface Deposits: Protein or other material deposits on the lens surface. 2. Causes: • Material and Design: Certain materials (like hydrophilic acrylic) and designs of IOLs are more prone to opacification. • Environmental Factors: Exposure to certain chemicals or conditions may accelerate the process. • Patient Factors: Health conditions like uveitis or diabetes can increase the risk. 3. Symptoms: • Decreased Vision: Gradual loss of visual clarity, similar to a secondary cataract. • Glare and Halos: Increased sensitivity to light, causing glare and halos around lights. • Blurry or Cloudy Vision: Vision may become hazy, affecting daily activities. 4. Diagnosis: • Slit Lamp Examination: Eye doctors use a slit lamp to observe the IOL and assess the level of opacification. • Visual Acuity Tests: These tests measure the extent to which vision is affected by the opacification. 5. Treatment Options: • Nd:YAG Laser Capsulotomy: If the opacification affects the posterior capsule (capsular opacification), a laser procedure can clear the visual axis. • IOL Exchange: In severe cases, the cloudy IOL may need to be surgically removed and replaced with a new one. • Observation: If vision is minimally affected, doctors may monitor the condition without immediate intervention. 6. Prevention and Prognosis: • Material Selection: Choosing IOLs made from materials less prone to opacification can reduce the risk. • Regular Follow-Up: Routine eye exams help detect opacification early, allowing for timely treatment. • Good Prognosis: With appropriate treatment, most patients regain good vision after addressing IOL opacification. #neelameyehospital #drmohmaduzairzakai #intraocularlens #surgeon #eyes #care #seelampur #delhi
