PURPOSE To report a case of sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) associated with cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS CASE REPORT RESULTS A 50-year-old man developed SO two months after complicated cataract surgery and IOL implantation. Adequate and prompt use of immunosuppressive medications and removal of the IOL by pars plana vitrectomy techniques resulted in cont...

Background. Induction of labour (IOL) is one the most common procedures conducted in obstetric practice. Several scoring models are used to predict probability successful IOL, notably modified Bishop score. Cervical length measured by transvaginal ultrasound gaining more attention as a potential measure success IOL. Objective. To assess role cervical (TVS-CL) predicting Methods. A prospective o...

PURPOSE To analyze the current practice patterns of Indian pediatric ophthalmologists in the management of lens anomalies. This study was conducted in a tertiary eye care hospital and involved an online questionnaire survey for practicing pediatric ophthalmologists in India. METHODS A questionnaire was devised by the authors, which included the various options available for the management of ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term efficacy and rotational stability of the AcrySof toric intraocular lens (IOL) in correcting preoperative astigmatism in cataract patients. METHODS This prospective observational study included 30 eyes from 24 consecutive patients who underwent implantation of an AcrySof toric IOL with micro-coaxial cataract surgery between May 2008 and September 2008. Outcome...

PURPOSE To prospectively compare the early rotational stability of AcrySof SN60T toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) with that in a retrospective series of AA4203 toric IOLs. SETTING Private practice, Los Altos, California, USA. METHODS One hundred consecutive eyes with an AcrySof SN60T(3, 4, or 5) toric IOL were compared with a consecutive series of 90 AA4203 (TL or TF) toric IOLs. The same su...

Brief history: IOL started at the end of 2008 and its first term ended in March 2011after 2 years and four months. Drs Hirohiko Tsujii and Ohtsura Niwa were very instrumental in the establishment of IOL. The first term IOL has three unit leaders and three distinguished scientists: These are Yukio Uchihori for the Space Radiation Research unit working with Professor Tom Hei from Columbia Univers...

PURPOSE To describe the clinical and pathological features of a case of hydrogel intraocular lens (IOL) calcification. CASE REPORT A 48-year-old man underwent explantation of a single-piece hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens in his left eye because of decreased visual acuity and milky white opalescence of the IOL. The opacified lens was exchanged uneventfully with a hydrophobic acrylic IOL....

The effect of the diameter of an intraocular lens (IOL) implanted in enucleated porcine eyes on the intraocular pressure induced by scleral depression was investigated. Two IOLs of 6 mm and 7 mm optic diameter were implanted. The intraocular pressure (IOP) was monitored during scleral depression by a transducer placed in the midvitreous through a sclerotomy at 6 o'clock. The area under the curv...

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the visual acuity outcomes and optical performances of eyes implanted with two diffractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) models with either a plate haptic design or a modified-C design. METHODS This retrospective study comprised cataract patients who were implanted with either a plate haptic multifocal IOL model (Acriva(UD) Reviol BB MFM 611 [VSY Biotechnol...

PURPOSE To assess the effectiveness and safety of a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) with +2.5 diopter (D) additional power compared with a monofocal IOL. SETTING Fifteen sites in the United States. DESIGN Prospective randomized patient- and observer-masked clinical trial. METHODS Randomized patients received multifocal or monofocal IOLs bilaterally. Visual acuity (33 cm, 40 cm, 53 cm, 6...
