BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate outcomes following cataract surgery with and without primary intraocular lens (IoL) implantation in children under 2 years of age with congenital or infantile cataract. METHOD Prospective population based cohort study undertaken through the British Isles Congenital Cataract Interest Group, with systematic data collection on children undergoing surgery in UK and ...

P rimary congenital glaucoma is an important cause of childhood blindness worldwide. In congenital glaucoma, the anterior segment of the eye fails to develop completely; this results, in particular, in malformation of the trabecular meshwork and aqueous outflow pathways. 2 Although sporadic cases arise frequently, many cases of congenital glaucoma are inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, ...

Glaucoma is a clinical entity with multifactorial etiology, a severe subtype occurs in infancy called primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). Three distinct levels interact sequentially to produce PCG: (i) genetic mutations mainly affecting the CYP1B1 gene, (ii) absence or dysregulation of a morphogen, and (iii) trabecular meshwork pathological changes either in patterning or remodeling. We will dis...

Background. Delayed postoperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage (DSCH) may occur following intraocular surgery for the treatment of glaucoma. It is considered to be a rare and debilitating event if not managed appropriately. Reported herewith is a case of Primary Congenital Glaucoma followed by DSCH with successful immediate surgical intervention and visual restoration. Patient and Method. An 8-mon...

95 The clinical entity collectively known as glaucoma is a very specific optic neuropathy that affects individuals with various degrees of ocular complications and even with greater degrees of genetic heterogeneity.[1,2] Although the very first genetic contribution to this group of eye disorders was described over 50 years ago,[3] it took another 30 years before the first molecular studies of t...

Aim: To study the visual outcome and complications of phacoemulsification IOL implantation in patients congenital cataract among tribal population Jharkhand.Methods: This was a retrospective observational study. Congenital cases who underwent surgery during 2017 to 2019 were included. Patient’s demographics, pre postoperative acuity recorded. The measured as VA achieved evaluation complications...

OBJECTIVES To report the incidence of glaucoma and glaucoma suspects in the IATS, and to evaluate risk factors for the development of a glaucoma-related adverse event in patients in the IATS in the first year of follow-up. METHODS A total of 114 infants between 1 and 6 months of age with a unilateral congenital cataract were assigned to undergo cataract surgery either with or without an intra...

Objective(s):Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness and it is related to oxidative stress based on numerous studies. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are members of multigenic family, which have important role in cells as an antioxidant. In the present study, we examined the polymorphism of GSTT1 and GSTM1 deletion genotypes (T0M1, T1M0, and T0M0) in 100 Glaucoma patients (41with pr...

purpose : to investigate the association of primary open angle glaucoma (poag) and systemic hypertension in patients referred to farabi eye hospital methods : in this case-control study in farabi eye hospital. one hundred patients were selected randomly from poag patients of glaucoma clinic, farabi eye hospital. control group consists of 100 patients, candidates for cataract surgery. history of...
