We report on 29 consecutive patients with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy who underwent in one eye penetrating keratoplasty with an exchange of the original intraocular lens for a Pearce tripod posterior chamber lens, and who were available for a follow up of at least 12 months. The average interval between cataract extraction with lens implantation and the appearance of bullous keratopathy wa...

A Modified Iris Suture Technique for In-the-bag Intraocular Lens Dislocation Clinically significant posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) decentrations or dislocations occur in the aftermath of approximately 2% to 3% of cataract surgeries. Early inor out-of-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocations arise within 3 months of surgery, primarily as a result of traumatic zonular or capsular r...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the value of ultrasonic biomicroscopy in reporting decreases in intraocular pressure resulting from changes in anterior chamber depth and angle after phacoemulsification and intracapsular lens implantation in patients with cataract. METHODS This prospective interventional case series included 50 eyes of 50 consecutive subjects operated at the sam...

MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective 5-year study based on general and ophthalmic history records, and including 268 eyes (174 patients), aged 50 years and over. Ophthalmological examination involved visual acuity, measuring of intraocular pressure, slit lamp examination and indirect ophthalmoscopy. Type of surgical treatment was tailored for each patient (extra capsular cataract extraction, phac...

purpose: to report a case of capsular bag distension syndrome (cbds) with solid material presenting eight years after cataract surgery. case report: a 58-years-old female who underwent an uneventful clear-cornea phacoemulsification with in-the-bag intraocular lens (iol) implantation in the right eye, presented with a chief complaint of blurred vision (va: 20/200) and cobweb like matter appearin...

OBJECTIVE To report the visual outcome and complications after extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in eyes that underwent external beam radiotherapy for the treatment of retinoblastoma. METHODS Eleven eyes of 8 patients aged 1.5 to 8.0 years at the time of surgery for irradiation-induced cataract were observed for 6 to 39 months (mean [...

OBJECTIVE To determine the changes in visual acuity in patients undergoing Trans-Scleral Sutured Posterior Chamber Intra-Ocular Lens (TSSPCIOL) implantation at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. STUDY DESIGN Case series. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY LRBT Tertiary Eye Hospital, Karachi, from January 2006 to December 2010. METHODOLOGY Records of all patients undergoing implantati...

Pupillary capture is an unusual complication of posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation and may occur in the early or late postoperative period. We describe a series of patients with early or late onset pupillary capture and describe the pathogenesis. Early capture results from mechanical factors and is usually preventable. Late capture may be mechanical but is usually a sequel to the f...

Case Report A 60-year-old Chinese male, with no signifi cant medical history, underwent uncomplicated right phacoemulsifi cation surgery with a 5.5 mm capsulorrhexis and implantation of a single piece 4-loop aspheric acrylic PCIOL (Bausch & Lomb Akreos® Adapt AO,+20.0D, Rochester, NY, USA) into the capsular bag in March 2009. There was no zonular dialysis intraoperatively and no signifi cant ca...
