Lamellar Cataract in Chickens

Deep lamellar keratoplasty combined with cataract surgery.

We used a surgical technique that combines deep lamellar keratoplasty, phacoemulsification, and intraocular lens implantation for treating patients with cataract and corneal stromal disease. Deep lamellar dissection of the cornea was first performed with viscoelastic substances (hyaluronate sodium) until the highly transparent Descemet membrane solely remained. We then created a short corneal t...

Lamellar keratoplasty followed by cataract extraction in malignant papilloma of the limbus.

THE treatment of epibulbar growths depends on several factors of which the extent of involvement of the globe itself is the most important; to some extent the line of treatmentadopted depends not only on the preference ofaparticular surgeon but also on the facilities available. Lamellar keratoplasty has often been employed as a therapeutic measure and we have had some experience of it (Sivasubr...

Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery after Deep Lamellar Keratoplasty: Case Report

Purpose: To report 2 cases that underwent deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and developed visually significant cataract and subsequently underwent femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). Methods: Both patients underwent FLACS with implantation of toric intraocular lens (IOL) for correction of postkeratoplasty astigmatism. Capsulorrhexis was performed with the femtosecond l...

A novel alphaB-crystallin mutation associated with autosomal dominant congenital lamellar cataract.

PURPOSE To identify the mutation and the underlying mechanism of cataractogenesis in a five-generation autosomal dominant congenital lamellar cataract family. METHODS Nineteen mutation hot spots associated with autosomal dominant congenital cataract have been screened by PCR-based DNA sequencing. Recombinant wild-type and mutant human alphaB-crystallin were expressed in Escherichia coli and p...
