Theoretical and practical performance of a concentric bifocal intraocular implant lens

Some results from a survey of 43 patients who had a monofocal intra-ocular-lens (IOL) in one eye and a concentric bifocal intra-ocular-lens in the fellow eye are reported. Twenty patients with 6/9 or better post-operative visual acuity in both eyes, participated in the main part of the study. Optical transfer functions for the bifocal lens showed that, compared to an optimal single-vision corre...

Bifocal intracranial tumors of nongerminomatous germ cell etiology: diagnostic and therapeutic implications.

BACKGROUND Patients presenting with synchronous bifocal intracranial tumors (masses in the pineal and neurohypophyseal region), detectable human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels (5-100 mIU/mL), and normal alpha feto-protein (AFP) levels (≤10 ng/mL) are often diagnosed empirically with pure germinoma. In such scenarios, pathologic confirmation is often deferred, given that bifocal nongerminom...

Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina with hyper-ornithinemia responsive to vitamin B6: a case report

BACKGROUND Gyrate atrophy of the retina and choroid is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease, characterized by progressive chorioretinal atrophy that results in progressive deterioration of peripheral and night vision and leading to blindness. CASE PRESENTATION This report presents a case of a 28-year-old man consulting for a progressive fall of visual acuity with hemeralopia. Eye fund...

A novel TEAD1 mutation is the causative allele in Sveinsson's chorioretinal atrophy (helicoid peripapillary chorioretinal degeneration).

Sveinsson's chorioretinal atrophy (SCRA), also referred to as helicoid peripapillary chorioretinal degeneration or atrophia areata, is an autosomal dominant eye disease, characterized by symmetrical lesions radiating from the optic disc involving the retina and the choroid. Genome-wide linkage analysis mapped the SCRA gene to chromosome 11p15 in 81 patients from a large founder pedigree in Icel...

In vitro optical quality measurements of three intraocular lens models having identical platform

BACKGROUND With recent advances in technology and introduction of new intraocular lens (IOL) models, surgeons today have the opportunity to choose from various optical designs, which can influence the postoperative quality of vision. In our laboratory study, we compared the optical quality of three different IOLs that use the identical platform and are produced by the same manufacturer. The stu...
