He received speaker honoraria from Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Alcon Surgical, Bauch and Lomb, Rayner Surgical, and Johnson & Johnson Vision outside of the submitted work. He was supported by an “ESCRS Peter Barry Fellowship Grant.” Dr. Langenbucher reports speaker honoraria from Hoya Surgical and Johnson & Johnson Vision outside the submitted work. Apart from this, all authors certify that they have no affiliations with or involvement in any organization or entity with any financial interest (such as honoraria, educational grants, participation in speakers’ bureaus, membership, employment, consultancies, stock ownership, or other equity interest, and expert testimony or patent-licensing arrangements), or non-financial interest (such as personal or professional relationships, affiliations, knowledge or beliefs) in the subject matter or materials discussed in this manuscript. This article does not contain any studies with animals performed by any of the authors. This article is a retrospective chart review and does not contain any studies with human participants performed by any of the authors; all data processed in this study were already anonymized at the source before being transferred to us for processing. The local ethics committee has provided a waiver for this study (Ärztekammer des Saarlandes, 157/21). This precludes any back-tracing of the identity, and therefore informed consent of the patients was not necessary. All procedures performed in this study were in accordance with the ethical standards of the Ärztekammer des Saarlandes and with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. No funding was received for this research.
