چکیده

AIM To identify risk factors for the development of posterior synechiae of the iris (PSI) after 23-gauge phacovitrectomy. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed in consecutive Asian patients treated with 23-gauge phacovitrectomy with a 3-piece intraocular lens (IOL) or a single-piece 4 haptics IOL. RESULTS A total of 263 eyes from 242 patients were included in the study. Postoperative PSI was identified in 16 (6.1%) eyes. In multivariate analysis, C3F8 gas tamponade, oil tamponade, and long operation time were significantly associated with PSI formation. There was no difference in the incidence of PSI between the groups using two different types of IOL (P=0.779). CONLUSION C3F8 gas or oil tamponade and long operation time increased the incidence of PSI after 23-gauge phacovitrectomy. The single-piece 4 haptics IOL, in lieu of a 3-piece IOL, may be inserted into the capsular bag with a comparable incidence of PSI.

Modified Ridley lenses.

A MODIFICATION of the original Ridley acrylic implant suggested in a previous communication (Epstein, 1957) comprised a biconvex lens of larger diameter (9.4 mm.) and thinner central thickness (1 5 mm.), and with a naturally tapering edge instead of a relatively thick square edge. It was found that such a lens facilitates centration, and adjusts itself almost automatically after insertion, litt...

Posterior synechiae after glaucoma operations: aggravation by shallow anterior chamber and pilocarpine.

Posterior pupillary synechiae affect a proportion of eyes subjected to iridectomy with or without drainage operation because (1) aqueous humour bypasses the pupil; (2) traumatic iridocyclitis occurs; (3) there is immobility of the iris in the iridectomy sector; (4) in eyes with angle closure glaucoma closer apposition of the iris to the anterior lens capsule increases the tendency; (5) pilocarp...

Tissue plasminogen activator to treat impending pupillary block glaucoma in patients with acute fibrinous HLA-B27 positive iridocyclitis.

PURPOSE To report the use of intracameral tissue plasminogen activator to dissolve fibrinous membranes and break posterior synechiae in patients with acute HLA-B27-positive iridocyclitis with impending pupillary block. METHODS Two patients with severe acute fibrinous iridocyclitis and seclusio pupillae were identified. Because of the concern of impending pupillary block, intracameral tissue p...

Pathogenesis of pupillary capture after posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.

Pupillary capture is an unusual complication of posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation and may occur in the early or late postoperative period. We describe a series of patients with early or late onset pupillary capture and describe the pathogenesis. Early capture results from mechanical factors and is usually preventable. Late capture may be mechanical but is usually a sequel to the f...

Specific Inflammation of Cornea in Chickenpox

INFLAMMATION of the iris leaves behind recognisable changes in the tissues. These results-the remains of posterior synechiae, and lucidity of the iris resulting from patchy atrophy of the pigmentepithelium-are not characteristic. But the resolving of an inflammation of the iris is in certain cases associated with very significant sequelae, especially in the case of so-called vitiligo iridis. (1...
