to assess the one year results of artiflex phakic intraocular lens (iol) implantation in the treatment of high myopia. in this non-random interventional study, myopic patients with spherical equivalent worse than -5.0 diopters (d) who were not eligible for laser surgery were assessed. all patients had refraction, uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity tests (ucva and bcva), endothelial ce...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a Q-switched neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser for removal of the human cataract. DESIGN A multicenter, prospective, noncomparative study. PARTICIPANTS A total of 100 consecutive eyes undergoing cataract extraction with the Dodick Photolysis, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Corneal endothelial cell loss, visual acuity improvement, ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide in patients with diffuse diabetic macular edema on the visual acuity and intraocular pressure. To report the potential adverse events and to analyze the potential relationship between age and visual acuity and intraocular pressure variability. METHODS This clinical controlled study included 14 patients (28 eyes), 14 of the...

Background: Parthenogenesis is the production of an embryo from a female gamete in the absence of any contribution from a male gamete, with or without the eventual development into an adult. In vivo, mammalian parthenogenesis is a rare event. Parthenogenesis can be efficiently induced in vitro with a variety of mechanical, chemical, and electrical stimuli in several species. Hydrostatic pressur...

We report the case of a 69-year-old female with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy and posterior chamber in-the-bag intraocular lens, whom we treated with DMEK surgical technique. We encountered difficulties both during obtaining the endothelium from the young donor and during the intraocular unrolling and its application on the stroma. We evaluated both preoperative and postoperative the following pa...

case presentation the patient was a 45-year-old male with t8 complete paraplegia; he had developed severe pressure ulcer. the authors used lllt as a complementary treatment. they used 980 nm, continuous 6 j/cm2 for margins and 655 nm, continuous 1.8 j/cm2 for bed of the ulcer, along with intravascular laser therapy. after 24 sessions of lllt and z-plasty surgery, the ulcer healed completely. co...

OBJECTIVE To report visual outcomes, complication rate, and safety of retropupillary iris-claw intraocular lens (ICIOL) in ectopia lentis in Marfan syndrome (MFS). DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS Six eyes of three MFS patients with ectopia lentis underwent surgery for subluxation lens and retropupillary ICIOL implantation from October 2014 to October 2015 at the Department of Ophthalmol...
