Surgical considerations in hyperopic cataract patients: optimizing outcomes and reducing complications.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cataract surgery in hyperopic individuals presents unique anatomical and physiological challenges, including shallow anterior chambers, increased lens vaults, and a higher risk of intraoperative complications. This review explores key considerations for preoperative assessment, surgical planning, and intraoperative techniques tailored to hyperopic eyes. Preoperative evaluation involves identifying systemic and ocular risk factors, such as alpha-1 blocker use, which may contribute to intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS). Key assessments include anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal endothelial integrity, and coexisting conditions like pseudoexfoliation (PXF) syndrome and angle-closure glaucoma. Intraoperative strategies focus on optimizing phacoemulsification parameters, leveraging advanced technologies such as femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), and mitigating risks of iris prolapse and endothelial damage. Proper patient positioning, strategic use of viscoelastic agents, and meticulous incision techniques are essential to ensuring safety and surgical success. Postoperative management addresses anisometropia, monitors for complications, and plans for early intervention in the fellow eye to maintain refractive balance. This comprehensive review provides evidence-based guidance to optimize surgical outcomes and minimize complications in hyperopic patients undergoing cataract surgery.
