Megalocornea in isolation is a rare congenital enlargement of the cornea greater than 13 mm in diameter. Patients with megalocornea are prone to cataract formation, crystalline lens subluxation, zonular deficiencies and dislocation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) within the capsular bag. A 55-year-old male with megalocornea in isolation developed subluxation of the capsular ba...

BACKGROUND 28-43% of the patients develop posterior capsular thickening after extra capsular cataract surgery. Nd-YAG laser capsulatomy is a method of choice to treat this complication. METHOD We conducted a prospective clinical, randomized comparative study to evaluate the post YAG laser IOP rise in 54 patients at Ayub Teaching Hospital Complex. RESULT There were 43% male and 57% female pa...

Capsular bag distension syndrome is a very rare complication of cataract surgery. Most cases occur after uneventful phacoemulsification with continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and implantation of an intraocular lens in the capsular bag. The entity presents with reduction of visual acuity and myopic shift in the early-to-late postoperative period. Characteristic findings include the distension...

The interrelationship among localization of tumor, local extension, lymph node metastasis and various histological grades was investigated in 31 consecutive series of prostate cancer treated by radical prostatectomy. Surgical specimens were examined by step sections cut perpendicular to the urethra. Each tumor was graded histologically in accordance with WHO-Mostofi grading (evaluated by nuclea...

PURPOSE To study the outcome of removal of retained intraocular foreign bodies (RIOFBs) via limbus using 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective, non-comparative interventional case series, fourteen eyes of 14 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled. They underwent 23-gauge TSV for management of posterior segment RIOFB...

Posterior capsular rupture (PCR) is a common and serious complication of cataract surgery. It complicates the process inserting posterior chamber intraocular lens affects visual outcome. This study review on acuity patients that had PCR during surgery in Hospital Melaka, risk factors PCR, cause poor The record all from 1 January 2014 till 31 March 2017 was traced using National Eye Database (NE...
