BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2016214614 DESCRIPTION A 78-year-old man presented with a painful red right eye 9 days after uncomplicated phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implant. He had no relevant ocular or systemic history. Postoperative subconjunctival cefuroxime had been given at the end of t...

Background: This study reports a case of silicone sponge intrusion as late complication scleral buckling surgery. Case presentation: A 57-year-old man underwent surgery 19 years ago due to retinal detachment his left eye. Visual acuity impairment eye was noted. His best-corrected visual (BCVA) 20/80 (logMAR 0.6). Intraocular lens-capsular bag-capsular tension ring luxation with implant extrusio...

Capsular block syndrome (CBS) has been known to occur as a rare complication of cataract surgery with continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and a posterior-chamber lens implant. Typically, it presents with reduced vision in the early postoperative period and is characterised by a forward displacement of the posterior-chamber intra-ocular lens and an accumulation of intra-capsular opaque material...

The case is presented of a 12-year old boy who sustained severe penetrating ocular trauma while playing on a domestic trampoline. A main spring broke under tension and the hook had struck the eye at high velocity and penetrated the sclera. Primary repair was undertaken but on review it became apparent the eye could not be salvaged. Evisceration was carried out and an orbital implant was placed....

Rehabilitation of facial defects is a complex task, requiring an individualized design of the technique for each patient. The disfigurement associated with the loss of an eye may result in significant physical and emotional problems. Various treat-ment modalities are available, one of which is the use of implants. Although implant-supported orbital prosthesis has a su-perior outcome, it may not...

INTRODUCTION The loss of vestibular function cannot be restored in all cases, but a vestibular prosthesis can improve balance in many of these patients. Vestibular implant (VI) research has mostly focused on the detection of angular velocity of the cephalic movements through gyroscopes and stimulation of the three-ampulla crests of the semicircular canals in order to improve the vestibular ocul...
