Iris varix as a cause of late-onset inflammation after implantation of a phakic iris claw lens Iris varix as a cause of late-onset inflammation after implantation of a phakic iris claw lens.

PURPOSE To report three cases of Artisan phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation to correct myopic refractive error after previous retinal detachment surgery treated with scleral encircling. METHODS Artisan PIOLs were implanted in a 29-year-old man with -21.0 -2.0 x 180 manifest refraction and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) of 20/40 (case 1), a 28-year-old woman with BSCVA...

This review article summarizes four key case reports published in the field of glaucoma in the year 2014. The first article describes successful early drainage of delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage in 7 patients who underwent glaucoma surgery. The second describes the use of a corneal patch graft to repair leaking or hypotonous blebs in patients who underwent glaucoma filtration surgery. The thi...

CASE A 44-year-old woman with congenital nystagmus and myopic astigmatism in both eyes who was submitted to phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation. METHODS Full ophthalmologic examination including refractive status, corrected (CDVA) and uncorrected (UCVA) monocular and binocular visual acuities, ocular motility, slit-lamp evaluation, tonometry and fundoscopy before and after implantatio...

PURPOSE In myopia, biometry including the axial length is important, along with the refractive data. We compared the rates of myopic regression 3 years after phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) after matching the preoperative axial length in highly myopic eyes of Japanese patients. METHODS This retrospective nonrandomized study included 133 eye...

AIM To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of high-speed (5,000 cuts per minute) 23 G transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV) in severe diabetic fibrovascular proliferation (DFVP). PATIENTS AND METHODS In this retrospective consecutive case series, patients who underwent 23 G TSV for severe DFVP between October 2011 and March 2014 at our institution were evaluated. 23 G TSV was perfor...

PURPOSE To compare pre- and postoperative horizontal and vertical pupil diameters after horizontal Artisan phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) (Ophtec BV, Groningen, The Netherlands) implantation for correction of myopia. METHODS The pre- and postoperative scotopic pupil diameters measured by the Colvard pupillometer (Oasis Medical, Glendora, Calif) were compared in 71 eyes after Artisan PIOL impl...

PURPOSE To evaluate changes in clinical practice in the field of refractive surgery in Korea over the past 10 years. METHODS A survey consisting of 59 multiple-choice questions regarding the preferred types of refractive surgery, excimer laser machine, and presbyopia surgery was mailed to 742 members of the Korean Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery in January 2016, and 50 members resp...
