ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To assess the effectiveness of optical and ultrasonic pachymetry when examining corneas patients before after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS: We conducted a prospective study 25 (50 eyes) who had LASIK for myopia or myopic astigmatism (mean spherical equivalent refraction -4.80 ± 3.60 D; range -1.75 to -12.00 D). Corneal thickness was measured using 1) conventional (20 MHz probe) central cornea, 2) ASL confocal microscopy (CMTF analysis), 3) Orbscan II...

This paper presents for the first time documented evidence, clinical details, and photographic illustrations of metipranolol-associated granulomatous anterior uveitis in 26 eyes 15 patients being treated glaucoma. There were 56 episodes uveitis, all associated with large (mutton-fat) keratic precipitates, flare, cells, 'white eyes' (except seven episodes). In 30 (53.6%) these there was loss control intraocular pressure. Metipranolol 0.6% implicated 54 metipranolol 0.3% remaining two....

We report a severe anaphylactic reaction that occurred about 5 minutes after 1.0 mg of cefuroxime was injected into the anterior chamber routine phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. The patient known to be allergic penicillin. Immediate action taken, recovered well. presence staff trained in resuscitation essential this case raises questions trend perform topical anesthesia cataract surgery without an anesthesiologist operating room.

Automated refraction with the Canon RK-1 Autoref keratometer was evaluated in 85 eyes of patients an anterior chamber intraocular lens implant and a best corrected visual acuity at least 6/12. Autorefraction readings were obtained 80 (94%) these eyes. The agreement between autorefraction clinical data 89% for spherical equivalence less than 0.51 dioptres (D), 91% sphere power D, 82% cylinder axis 11 degrees. provides acceptably accurate postoperative values pseudophakia.

We report a case of ocular injury caused by bombardier beetle in young boy. Ocular injuries due to this coleoptera have not previously been reported. An 11-year-old boy experienced an eye while trying place inside anthill. The was diagnosed with second-degree burn on the skin upper right eyelid and conjunctival corneal erosion eye. condition resolved completely after 2 weeks appropriate treatment. Education about dangers playing insects is crucial prevent type lesions.

Ninety seven eyes with anterior chamber implants and a best corrected visual acuity of at least 6/12 were studied, firstly, to compare the predictive accuracies commonly used formulas for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation and, secondly, determine effect optimising 'A' constant on empirical Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff (SRK) formulas. The (SRK SRK II) generally similar those theoretical (Binkhorst II Colenbrander-Hoffer). However original formula was more accurate than two in long all...

Purpose: This study aims to present the results of PRK treatment for residual errors after previous laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) a large number eyes.Methods: Retrospective review case notes patients operated with this technique our institution, during period 2005-2014, at least 2 years follow-up.Results: Five hundred and thirty eyes were included study.Mean UCDVA improved from logMAR 0,28 0,15 retreatment.Mean BCDVA decreased slightly 0,02 0,04.Ninety five percent maintained or...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the complications and their incidence in eyes with an anterior chamber lens implanted after posterior capsule rupture vitreous loss. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review of case-notes patients planned extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) from 1 January 1984 to 31 December 1989. Those who suffered were recalled special clinics. SETTING: Department Ophthalmology, Southport & Formby District General Hospital. PATIENTS: 58 57 identified loss during ECCE. MAIN OUTCOME...

Abstract Introduction : The biocompatibility of nitinol in the human body has extensively been demonstrated. Although is already being used for intraocular surgeries such as lens fragmentation and foreign extraction, little known about its intracapsular, long-term behavior. purpose this study to evaluate uveal capsular a CTR placed bag after cataract surgery an animal model. Method After approval by Institutional Animal Care Ethics Committee, bilateral phacoemulsification was performed 6...

Purpose: To analyze and understand the zonular tension distribution of forces in presence disinsertion a model simulation with without capsular ring (CTR). Methods: This study was conducted at Complejo Hospitalario Universitario Albacete, University Castilla La Mancha, Spain. Twelve load cells were arranged circular fashion to simulate 360 degrees zonulae eye. An elastic band prestretched uniform radial manner 12 directions. Force measurements taken using cells, uniformly 30° spacing around...
