Strategies For Pseudoexfoliation And Weak Zonules ( Video Assisted Skill Transfer

چکیده
Pseudoexfoliation (PXF) syndrome is an age-related disease that is thought to be a systemic disorder in which hyaline material of an unknown etiology accumulates in the ocular tissue.1 The ocular manifestations involve all of the anterior segment, including conjunctiva and orbital structures. There is increasing evidence of an etiologic association between PXF and cataract formation. Glaucoma occurs more commonly in eyes with PXF, the most common identifiable cause of open-angle glaucoma.2 Approximately 20% of open-angle glaucoma cases are associated with PXF, and approximately 30% to 50% of patients with PXF develop glaucoma.

Cataract surgery outcome in patients with non-glaucomatous pseudoexfoliation
Aim. To study the outcome of cataract surgery in eyes with pseudoexfoliation without signs of glaucoma. Methods. This prospective study was done over nine months on patients with pseudoexfoliation undergoing small incision cataract surgery. Only patients with normal intraocular pressure (Central Corneal Thickness Corrected), normal cup disc ratio and open angles were included. Patients on anti-...
متن کاملThe relationship between the stretching capability of the anterior capsule and zonules.
The stretching capability of the zonules was studied in 40 human eyes obtained postmortem from 27 patients. A continuous circular capsulorhexis (CCC) (2.2-6.8 mm) was performed, and the lenses were removed by either phacoemulsification (26 eyes) or planned extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) (14 eyes). Maximal zonular stretch was calculated as the difference in distance between the ciliary...

متن کاملCataract Surgery Focus on Phacoemulsification
My video demonstrates several strategies for performing phacoemulsification in an eye with weak zonules and a brunescent cataract. The capsulorhexis step represents the surgeon’s first opportunity to evaluate zonular integrity. I have used the term pseudo-elasticity to describe movement of the peripheral capsule while traction is being applied to the flap; pseudo-elasticity is poor zonular foot...
متن کاملRapid anterior capsular contraction after phacoemulsification surgery in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa
A decrease in the anterior capsule opening after cataract surgery has been observed in eyes with weakened lens zonules. It commonly occurs in diabetes mellitus, uveitis, pseudoexfoliation syndrome, high myopia, and elderly patients. Herein, we report the case of a middle-aged man with advanced retinitis pigmentosa who developed a rapid contraction of the anterior capsule after an uneventful pha...
