Streptococcus mitis/oralis endophthalmitis management without phakic intraocular lens removal in patient with iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens implantation

BACKGROUND To report a case of Streptococcus mitis/oralis endophthalmitis management which had developed after complicated iris-fixated phakic intraocular (pIOL) lens implantation. CASE PRESENTATION A 23-year-old-woman received pIOL implantation followed secondary intraocular intervention to lower intraocular pressure.

Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

Anterior chamber iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens for anisometropic amblyopia.

We report a child who had implantation of an iris-fixated Artisan phakic intraocular lens (IOL) to correct high unilateral myopia to support the therapy of anisometropic amblyopia. After IOL implantation, the patient continued occlusion therapy to further treat the amblyopic eye. One year postoperatively, the best corrected visual acuity in the amblyopic eye was 1.00 and binocular stereovision ...

Lens vacuoles during phakic intraocular lens implantation

Lens damage during phakic intraocular lens implantation is a major complication. A case of a patient who developed lens vacuoles during toric implantable collamer lens (ICL) removal from her right eye and insertion of a new non-toric ICL due to persistent rotation of the former is presented in this work. As this event is very uncommon when implanting phakic intraocular lenses, the performed sur...

Iris-fixated toric phakic intraocular lens: Three-year follow-up.

PURPOSE To evaluate the 3-year safety, efficacy, predictability, and stability of iris-fixated toric phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation for the correction of myopia or hyperopia with astigmatism. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, and Department of Ophthalmology, University Clinic, Bochum, Germany. METHODS A prospective clinical trial of 40 e...
