A systemically healthy 35-year-old female has complained of blurry vision the Right Eye (RE) over past week. The best corrected visual acuity was 6120 in both eyes. Mild conjunctival injection, fine keratic precipitates, and 1 cell anterior chamber without hypopyon detected RE.

Received for publication March’ 2009 .............................. Purpose: To assess and compare the complications of primary and secondary implantation of flexible open loop anterior chamber intraocular lenses. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, Abbasi Shaheed Hospital from January 2007-June 2008. In this study evaluation of 60 patients with fl...

PURPOSE To describe the treatment of macular oedema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) with concomitant pars plana vitrectomy/arteriovenous sheathotomy and intraoperative intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide. METHODS Retrospective case series. RESULTS Four eyes of four patients were identified. Patients improved from a mean best-corrected visual acuity of 20/124 at baseline t...

purpose: to determine the efficacy, safety, and stability of these techniques and some factors affecting refractive and visual outcomes in treated patients. methods: 236 lasik-treated eyes (122 patients) and 218 prk-treated eyes (112 patients) with myopia and myopic-astigmatism between -1.25 and -4 diopters (d) underwent refractive surgery over an 11 month period by a single surgeon. patients w...

PURPOSE To assess the 5-year visual outcome of intravitreal bevacizumab in inflammatory ocular neovascularization. METHODS Retrospective, multicenter, consecutive case series of eight patients with inflammatory ocular neovascularization refractory to standard therapy who were treated with intravitreal bevacizumab and followed for 5 years after first injection. The outcome measures included im...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of posterior residual stroma on visual function after unsuccessful anwar's deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (dalk). methoods: in this parallel historical cohort, visual acuity and refractive status were evaluated after descemetic dalk (group 1) and compared with those of pre-descemetic dalk (group 2). results: one hundred and ten keratoconic eyes were enr...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical outcome of the first 450 consecutive cases after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), as well as the effect of standardization of the technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS Comparison between 3 groups: Group I: (cases 1-125), as the extended learning curve; Group II: (cases 126-250), transition to technique standardization; Group III: (cases 251-450)...

Comparative analysis of functional results of contact lens correction and penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in keratoconus are presented. To assess resolution ability we considered visual acuity and contrast sensitivity. 117 patients (219 eyes) with stage I-IV keratoconus, wearing rigid gas-permeable contact lenses (RPCL), and 60 patients (64 eyes) after PKP were examined. In 69% patients after PK...

We report a case of complicated cataract aggravated after taking herbal medication for atopic dermatitis. An 11-yr-old boy was referred for the evaluation of decreased visual acuity in both eyes for 2 months. Past history showed that he had been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis when he was 1 yr old. He had been treated only with herbal medication for a period of 8 months prior to visiting our c...

AIM To evaluate the use of accelerated corneal collagen cross-linking in the management of mild and moderate progressive keratoconus in comparison with conventional cross-linking. PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospective randomized interventional case-control clinical trial. A total 25 eyes of 18 patients were randomly divided into two groups: group A included 14 eyes that received accelerated collag...
