Our purpose was to examine the long-term efficacy of toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in cataract patients with high astigmatism due corneal ectasia, who underwent phacoemulsification surgery. Five eyes 3 topographically stable keratoconus or pellucid macular degeneration (PMD), which IOL used correct astigmatism, are reported. Objective and subjective refraction, visual acuity measurement topography were performed all cases before after In cases, there a significant improvement...

The authors report a case of fungal scleral keratitis and endophthalmitis as complication pterygium surgery.Case presentation.A 46-year old woman underwent excision with topical use intraoperative mitomycin C. By day 21 after excision, melting was followed by keratitis. Endophthalmitis ensued, which rapidly progressed, despite surgical medical interventions. eye finally enucleated to prevent fungaemia. Pathology revealed highly disorganized disruption collagen in the area melting.Fungal are...

We describe the case of a 54-year-old white man who experienced bilateral central serous chorioretinopathy following laser in situ keratomileusis for myopia. Postoperatively, uncorrected visual acuity was 20/20 both eyes. One month later, patient reported decrease vision Dilated fundus examination, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, optical coherence tomography showed chorioretinopathy. Photodynamic therapy performed twice, improved. Financial Disclosure: No author has financial...

A preliminary study in order to test the accuracy of IOL Master detecting axial eye length changes after laser-assisted situ keratomileusis and correlate findings with theoretical ablation depth.Pre-and postoperative measurements were performed 10 consecutive eyes that underwent Alcon Ladar Vision excimer laser treat myopic refractive errors ranging from -2.50 -8.00 diopters spherical equivalent (mean: -5.23 ± 1.30 D).The preoperative ranged 24.53 mm 27.78 25.80 1.01 mm) 24.57 27.57 25.68...

We describe a surgical technique for the safe exchange of opacified 1-piece IOLs in eyes that have had neodymium:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy. Initially, IOL is freed from capsule adhesions using dispersive ophthalmic viscosurgical device, which also injected beneath to protect vitreous interface. The then brought into anterior chamber. A new 3-piece clear before removed and placed behind IOL, preventing prolapsing. pupil constricted pharmacologically, through standard 2.75 mm corneal...

We report a female patient who developed chronic endophthalmitis after an uneventful cataract surgery. Cultures of aqueous humor and vitreous sample showed positivity for Actinomyces meyeri. Intense anterior segment inflammation less evident impairment the patient's posterior led us to treat her vigorously with pars plana vitrectomy combined intraocular topical antibiotics. The achieved good recovery vision without need remove lens add systemic drugs. To best our knowledge, this is first...

We present a case of chemosis (conjunctival edema) as an early manifestation severe systemic lupus erythematosus affecting multiple organs, including the central nervous system and kidneys.

The surgical case of a dropped intraocular lens inside the vitreous cavity constitutes real challenge for operating surgeon. Herein, we describe series where an alternative optical rehabilitation technique late lens-bag complex dislocation has been used.A modern vitrectomy device was used to remove capsule with using sutureless 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy. To ensure better aesthetic result, faster patient recovery and reduced number operations, whole procedure performed during same...
