Introduction: Iris-claw Intraocular Lens (IOL) is one of the alternatives to correct aphakia without sufficient capsular support. This technique preferred because it has a simple procedure. IOL was originally designed be fixated on anterior chamber. The use retropupillary fixation increasing location more physiologic and shows less risk corneal endothelial damage. Purpose: To describe safety ef...

Pupil diameters in the dark, in the light, and after mydriasis with tropicamide+ phenylephrine have been measured in 25 patients before and six months after cataract surgery. The aphakic pupil showed reduced mobility as evidenced by a smaller diameter in the and a larger one in the light. In patients who had intracapsular extraction or extracapsular extraction with intraocular lens implantation...

AIM To study the indications of penetrating keratoplasty in Southern India. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Retrospective study. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective evaluation of eye bank records from December, 2002 to December, 2012 with respect to indications for penetrating keratoplasty. RESULTS During the period considered for study, 102 penetrating keratoplasties were performed. The leading indic...

After testing all types of implanted IOLs with spectrophotometer, author estimated that filtering of sun light is not successful, leaving open the possibility of development of AMD after cataract surgery. This is especially serious problem in implantation of IOLs to children. Until recently, implantation of intraocular lenses without or with inappropriate UV protection was not considered a seri...

A 44-year-old man with anterior megalophthalmos arrived at the clinic presenting a cataract in the right eye. The corneal diameter was 13 mm. Iridodonesis and phacodonesis were evident during slit lamp examination. Anterior chamber depth was 5.89 mm, and the diameter of the capsular bag was approximately 14.45 mm. Due to the large capsular bag, a standard posterior chamber intraocular lens was ...

The tissue reaction to a functioning Molteno implant has been studied by light microscopy and by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The material was obtained from an aphakic 83-year-old human eye which required enucleation because of intractable bullous keratopathy, despite well controlled intraocular pressure. The tissue response around the silicone rubber tube was that of simple f...
