PURPOSE To describe the safety and efficacy of removing posteriorly dislocated lens fragments with the use of intravitreal ultrasonic fragmentation through a limbal, clear cornea self-sealing incision. METHODS Patients presenting with posteriorly luxated nuclei were enrolled in this prospective case series. Preoperative examination included evaluation of the corneal endothelium by means of sp...

Figure 1. Preoperative view of the right hand demonstrating a compressible mass just distal to the prior carpal tunnel release incision. The mass was painless and did not produce tingling or numbness on Tinel's maneuver.

The tension in an anterior cruciate ligament graft may not be normal when the femoral tunnel is placed using the single-incision arthroscopic technique because the femoral tunnel is drilled through the tibial tunnel. We hypothesized that the in vivo tensile behavior of the double-looped semitendinosus and gracilis tendon graft can be normal or abnormal compared with the native anterior cruciate...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the postoperative changes in astigmatism in the pseudophakic eyes of children who underwent 1 of 3 different types of surgical incisions for congenital cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation, and in whom astigmatism of at least 3 diopters (D) was recorded 1 week after the operation. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all the childr...

PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term visual outcomes and complications of cataract surgery in eyes previously treated for retinoblastoma. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation at Seoul National University Children's Hospital for a secondary cataract that developed after retinoblastoma treatment. RESULTS During th...

we have implanted more than 300 Worst iris-claw myopia phakic intraocular lenses (IOL). We report on a patient with a Worst iris-claw lens who developed a senile cataract, necessitating removal of the IOL, extraction of the cataract, and implantation of a new IOL in the posterior chamber. A 60-year-old white male requested refractive surgery in March 1991. The manifest preoperative refraction w...

Context. Tenon's cyst or conjunctival cyst formation is not uncommon late complication of traditional extracapsular cataract surgery; however, few reports are available in the literature. Aims. Large cystic swellings were clinically diagnosed as filtering blebs at the cataract incision site in two patients. The purpose of the case presentation is to discuss the factors leading to cyst formation...

PURPOSE To present a novel technique for the implantation of phakic iris-claw intraocular lenses (IOL) in highly myopic cases. METHODS Twelve cases, under the age of 40, with high myopia were included in this retrospective study. The mean follow-up span was 14.4+/-5.8 months. Phakic iris-claw IOL implantation was performed, through a 5.5 or 6.5 mm self sealing scleral tunnel with Bursa techni...
