Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine the long-term anatomic outcomes and surgical complications of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and 4-point Gore-Tex-sutured Akreos AO60 intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation. DESIGN: Retrospective, multicenter, multisurgeon case series. PARTICIPANTS: Ninety-seven patients in tertiary eye care centers. METHODS: The patients underwent PPV and intraocular fixation of the Akreos AO60 IOL using Gore-Tex CV-8 sutures between January 2015 and April 2020. The inclusion criteria were aphakia, no capsular support, and a minimal 1 year of follow-up. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (VA), complication rates or types, and refraction. RESULTS: Data from 101 eyes of the 97 patients were analyzed (mean follow-up duration, 33.4 months; range, 12-62 months). The mean ± standard deviation uncorrected logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution VA improved from 1.04 ± 0.73 (20/200 Snellen equivalent) before surgery to 0.66 ± 0.65 (20/80) at 6 months after surgery (P < 0.001). The most prevalent complications included hypotony (12.9%), ocular hypertension (12.9%), corneal edema (8.9%), cystoid macular edema (6.9%), and vitreous hemorrhage (5.9%). Refraction was measured between 3 and 6 months after surgery, and 61.8% of the patients had spherical equivalent of ± 2.0 diopters. Most complications occurred in the first postoperative month and resolved spontaneously or with medical treatment. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrated that this surgical technique is well tolerated by the eyes, with a low complication rate in the long term. The rates of IOL opacification were infrequent for up to 62 months of follow-up.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
