Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Journal of Clinical Medicine is pleased to announce a forthcoming Special Issue dedicated to showcasing the latest advancements in corneal and cataract surgery. We invite the members of the scientific community to contribute their valuable research and insights to this Special Issue, which aims to provide a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge developments in these critical fields.

We welcome original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that explore novel techniques, technological innovations, and outcomes in cataract and cornea surgery. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  1. Surgical Techniques in Cataract and Cornea Procedures;
  2. Advances in Intraocular Lens Technology;
  3. Novel Pharmacological Approaches for Postoperative Care;
  4. The Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Surgical Planning;
  5. Outcome Assessment and Patient Satisfaction;
  6. Complication Management and Prevention;
  7. Emerging Trends in Corneal Transplantation.

(1) Background: The present review aims to identify risk factors with predictive value for differentiating between pseudoexfoliation patients at risk of developing intra- or postoperative complications and those without operative risk during cataract surgery. (2) Methods: The review protocol was registered at PROSPERO, registration no. CRD42023417721. The following databases were searched for studies between 2000 and 2023: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Springer, Science Direct, Web of Science, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, TRIP database, LILACS, Clinical Trials, and reference lists of articles. We included analytical studies of any design examining cataract surgery complications in pseudoexfoliation patients across two population groups, one who underwent uneventful cataract surgery and the other who experienced intra- or postoperative complications. The paper will follow PRISMA 2020 criteria for reporting. Effect measure was assessed using odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for qualitative variables and means with their respective standard deviation (SD) for quantitative variables. The risk of bias was assessed using the method presented in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews. The GRADE scale was used for quality of evidence and certainty. (3) Results: The initial search of published and gray literature databases retrieved 1435 articles, six of which were included in this report. A total of 156 intra- or postoperative incidents were reported in 999 eyes with pseudoexfoliation. The identified predictive factors were a shallow anterior chamber, cataract grade, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, preoperative intraocular pressure, and symmetry of the exfoliation material. Limitations include heterogeneity of data and limited number of studies identified in our search. (4) Conclusions: These findings suggest the potential to refine risk stratification protocols in clinical settings and assist surgeons in personalized decision-making among individuals with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
