To describe complications arising from sulcus placement of single-piece acrylic (SPA) intraocular lenses (IOLs), evaluate IOL options for eyes that lack adequate capsule support, and examine the appropriateness various designs placement.University private anterior segment surgery practices.Patients referred SPA IOLs in ciliary 2006 2008 were identified. Demographic information, examination findings, initial recorded. Details surgical interventions most recent corrected distance visual acuity...
To determine whether institution of a structured surgical curriculum for ophthalmology residents decreased the rate sentinel complications.Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Des Moines, Iowa, USA.A retrospective review was performed third-year ophthalmic resident quality-assurance outcomes data at single residency-training site from 1998 to 2008. The primary outcome measure defined as event; that is, posterior capsule tear (with or without vitreous loss) loss (from any cause) occurring during...
Although almost equal numbers of male and female medical students enter into ophthalmology residency programs, whether they have similar surgical experiences during training is unclear.To determine differences for cataract surgery total procedural volume between residents residency.This retrospective, longitudinal analysis resident case logs from 24 US programs spanned July 2005 to June 2017. A 1271 were included. Data analyzed August 12, 2017, through April 4, 2018.Variables included mean...
To compare the performance on EYESi surgical simulator capsulorhexis training module between medical students and residents experienced cataract surgeons.Department of Ophthalmology, University Iowa, Iowa City, USA.Comparative case series.The study comprised at surgeons. Neither group had experience with simulator. Each participant completed 4 trials module.The 7 surgeons achieved statistically significantly better total scores than 16 easy level medium (P = .004 P .000007, respectively)....
Flexible nylon iris retractors are a useful adjunct to cataract surgery in cases of small pupil. We present modification the standard technique. Instead approaching square-shaped pupil formed by from side, we recommend an approach anterior 1 retractor hooks. From surgeon's viewpoint, goes square shape diamond shape. This minimizes likelihood prolapse and damage during phacoemulsification increases workspace for needle.
Wet laboratories (wet labs) play an increasingly important role in ophthalmology surgical residency training. We summarize the necessary components establishing and maintaining a well-functioning wet lab offer stepwise guide for educators to improve quality of experience. present 6 key factors creating lab; that is, setting up physical space, appropriate faculty curriculum, obtaining practice eye, stabilizing preparing funding lab.
Diabetes mellitus is a multiorgan systemic disease impacting numerous ocular structures that results in significant morbidity and often more frequent corneal glaucoma surgeries for affected individuals. We hypothesize the metabolic proteomic derangement observed progression of diabetes influences composition aqueous humor (AH), which ultimately impacts anterior segment health eye. To identify changes associated with progression, we mapped metabolite profile proteome AH samples from patients...

Patients are the most common source of gender-based harassment resident physicians, yet residents receive little training on how to handle it. Few resources exist for wishing address patient-initiated verbal sexual themselves.
To evaluate the clinical results of reverse optic capture (ROC) with single-piece posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PC-IOLs) in cases phacoemulsification cataract and IOL surgery capsular rupture.Preoperative diagnosis, intraoperative events, surgical parameters, postoperative complications, preoperative visual acuity refraction 16 eyes that underwent ROC were reviewed analyzed. The fellow eye 12 patients undergoing uneventful without served as control group.Over a mean 19 months'...
Glaucoma is a common cause of visual disability and affects ∼1.6% individuals over 40 years age ( 1). Non-synonymous coding sequence variations in the ankyrin repeat SOCS box containing gene 10 (ASB10) were recently associated with 6.0% cases primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients from Oregon Germany. We tested cohort POAG (n= 158) normal control subjects 82), both Iowa, for ASB10 mutations. Our study had 80% power to detect 4.9% mutation frequency patients. A total 11 non-synonymous...
