A systemically healthy 35-year-old female has complained of blurry vision the Right Eye (RE) over past week. The best corrected visual acuity was 6120 in both eyes. Mild conjunctival injection, fine keratic precipitates, and 1 cell anterior chamber without hypopyon detected RE.

OBJECTIVES To describe a modified manual cataract extraction technique, sutureless large-incision manual cataract extraction (SLIMCE), and to report its clinical outcomes. METHODS Case notes of 50 consecutive patients with cataract surgery performed using the SLIMCE technique were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical outcomes 3 months after surgery were analyzed, including postoperative uncorre...

We encountered a patient with cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to paclitaxel use. A 57-year-old man presented with gradual decreased bilateral vision. His chemotherapeutic regimen consisted of bevacizumab, paclitaxel (175 mg/m(2) for 5 months), and carboplatin. Optical coherence tomography imaging revealed bilateral CME greater than 500 µm. However, one year later, visual acuity was improv...

purpose: to evaluate the visual outcomes and complications of low power transpupillary thermotherapy (ttt) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (amd). methods: the study included 20 eyes of 17 patients. diagnosis of exudative amd was established on the basis of fundus examination and fluorescein angiography (fa). ttt was performed using a diode laser at 810 nm wavelengt...

A thirty-nine year old man was referred to our institute due to progressive decreased visual acuity five years after bilateral Laser in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK). Topography revealed signs of post - LASIK ectasia. Patients' left eye was treated with simultaneous Topography Guided Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) followed by Corneal Collagen Cross Linking (CXL). Twelve months after the combin...

purpose : to evaluate the toxic retinal effects of intravitreal bevacizumab used for the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration (amd) using ganzfeld electroretinography (g-erg) methods : in this prospective comparative interventional study, 23 patients with active choroidal neovascularization (cnv) associated with amd were enrolled. patients were received intravitreal injection...

We present a patient with marginal corneal degeneration and corneal astigmatism of more than 10.0 diopters (D). A toric phakic intraocular lens (IOL) of 7.0 D cylindrical power was implanted in both eyes to correct the high astigmatism. An uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 was achieved in both eyes, and the best corrected visual acuity improved by 4 Snellen lines to 20/20 in both eyes. Refract...
