BACKGROUND Capsular block syndrome is an uncommon complication that occurs after cataract surgery. It is characterized by capsular distension, anterior intraocular lens displacement, anterior chamber shallowing, and unexpected myopic shifts. We report a case of recurrent fibrotic capsular block syndrome with Elschnig's pearl-type posterior capsule opacification 10 months after neodymium-yttrium...

RATIONALE Cyclodialysis cleft is a relatively rare but severe condition with persistent ocular hypotony, which can cause morphologic changes and visual loss. Here we report a case of a traumatic cyclodialysis cleft that was successfully managed with direct cyclopexy via anterior chamber perfusion. During the operation, if there is aqueous humor flowing out of the deep scleral incision, the clef...

Posterior Chamber Phakic Toric Implantable Collamer Lenses have become increasingly used to correct refractive error associated with astigmatism. These devices are claimed to provide high efficacy in terms of refractive correction. This book chapter is an updated review on the safety and effectiveness and potential complications of the toric implantable collamer lens (Toric ICL) published in pe...

A 27-year-old woman with bilateral high myopia had anterior chamber iris-claw phakic intraocular lens implantation in her left eye under local anesthesia and with no intraoperative complications. The preoperative slit-lamp examination was normal, and she had no relevant past medical history. On the second postoperative day, patient developed fixed, dilated mydriasis, and one month later, an IOL...

This paper provides the first reported case of acute posterior chamber hemorrhage during fluorescein angiography (FA). This is a case review with serial color photographs of the anterior segment. A 76-year-old male was referred for angiographic control of age-related macular degeneration. He was pseudophakic OU, BCVA 20/40 OU. He had mild hypertension, but not diabetes. He had had two previous ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the visual outcome and postoperative complications of cataract surgery with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in children with uveitis. DESIGN A multicenter, retrospective, interventional case series. The setting included 3 medical centers in Israel. The interventions were cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation. Aggressive preoperative and posto...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate results of combined phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation and pars plana vitrectomy in patients with advanced diabetic retinopathy. We retrospectively evaluated postoperative outcomes and complications in 102 eyes of 102 patients who underwent a combined procedure. All patients had a visually significant cataract. Forty two patients had vit...

AIM To establish long term outcomes and incidence of complications following refractive lens exchange (RLE) for the correction of high myopia. METHODS Operative and postoperative records of 62 cases of small incision phacoemulsification RLE performed in 37 patients over an 11 year period, by a single surgeon, were reviewed. In addition, patients were recalled for a follow up examination, whic...
