Opaque intraocular lens implantation: a case series and lessons learnt
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE To report the use of opaque intraocular devices in three patients with complex neuro-ophthalmic symptoms. METHODS A case series of three patients with neuro-ophthalmic symptoms requiring occlusion of one eye when alternative methods had failed to control symptoms. Morcher (Stuttgart, Germany) opaque intraocular implants were used in all patients. RESULTS All three patients observed an improvement in symptoms following opaque intraocular device implantation. One patient (Case 2) required multiple devices for symptom relief. CONCLUSION Opaque intraocular occlusive devices are an increasingly popular choice for clinicians in patients with intractable diplopia but we highlight their use in patients with other complex neuro-ophthalmic symptoms. We learned a number of useful lessons in these patients as summarized in this case series.
