Multicenter Study
Cataract Surgery Complications and Revisit Rates Among Three States.
To characterize population-based 30-day procedure-related readmissions (revisits) following cataract surgery. ⋯ Cataract surgery is a common and, in aggregate, expensive procedure. Complication-related revisits follow a similar trend as surgical complications in large-scale population data, and may be useful as a preliminary, screening outcome measure. Our results highlight the importance of age as a risk factor for cataract surgery readmissions, and suggest a relationship between black or Hispanic race, Medicaid insurance, and diabetes associated with higher risk for cataract surgery complications.

To analyze the morphologic features of peripapillary staphylomas associated with high myopia by swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT). ⋯ Swept-source OCT can detect the slight changes of the sclera and choroid in the area of a peripapillary staphyloma, and we recommend its use in determining the presence of a peripapillary staphyloma.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Clinical Effects and Safety of 3% Diquafosol Ophthalmic Solution for Patients With Dry Eye After Cataract Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To compare the efficacies and safety profiles of 3% diquafosol and 0.1% sodium hyaluronate in patients with dry eye after cataract surgery. ⋯ Eye drops of 3% diquafosol may be an effective and safe treatment for the management of cataract surgery-induced dry eye aggravation in patients with preexisting dry eye.

To determine predictors of reoperation and abnormal binocularity outcomes (including amblyopia and diplopia) following pediatric strabismus surgery. ⋯ Adjustable sutures were not associated with a lower reoperation rate in children. Younger age, esotropia, hyperopia, and botulinum injection were associated with postoperative abnormal binocularity. Superior oblique surgery and botulinum injection were associated with higher rates of reoperation.

To investigate clinical characteristics of dry eye disease (DED) patients with a chronic pain syndrome. ⋯ In DED patients, chronic pain syndromes are common and are associated with increased severity of DED symptoms across all domains of the OSDI, even though objective ocular surface signs are no worse. In clinical practice, more awareness of chronic pain syndromes might help in understanding the discrepancy between signs and symptoms in DED.
