Delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage (DSCH) is a rare but devastating complication of trabeculectomy, usually resulting in a poor visual prognosis. The typical presentation of DSCH includes acute visual loss, high intraocular pressure, a shallow anterior chamber, and choroidal elevation. We report a patient with hypertension who had DSCH following trabeculectomy, with an unusual presenting picture...

In this article, the effects of different foam production times and temperatures on the mechanical, physical, and structural properties of polypropylene (PP) foam has been investigated. The microcellular PP foams were carried out using supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) as a physical foaming agent in a batch process. The samples were placed in a pressure vessel and were saturated ...

results mean age was 41.6 ± 9.2 for the military truck drivers and 43.4 ± 10.9 for commercial truck drivers (p > 0.05). no significant difference between military and commercial drivers was found in terms of driving experience, number of mvcs, binocular va, frequency of color vision defects and cs scores. in contrast, the last ocular examination was significantly earlier in military drivers tha...

in this research, the correlation between precipitation change in southern coasts of caspian sea and variability of sea level pressure have been analyzed by using environmental to circulation approach at time period 1339- 1383. in this respect, we make use of daily precipitation data of the 12 synoptic stations of studied area at surface data base section and prepare the time series matrix of p...

Sixty glaucomatous eyes of 60 patients treated with laser trabeculoplasty as primary therapy were reviewed retrospectively. There were 42 eyes with capsular glaucoma and 18 with simple glaucoma. The mean prelaser intraocular pressure (IOP) was 35.2 (SD = 6.5) mmHg. Success was defined as IOP less than or equal to 22 mmHg without medication. The probability of success was 0.73 at 1 year, 0.66 at...

A 43 year old intravenous drug abuser presented to the accident and emergency department with a three week history of bilateral visual loss and frontal headaches. Fundoscopy revealed bilateral retinal cotton wool spots and haemorrhages and an ophthalmic opinion was requested. His blood pressure was subsequently found to be 210/140. A diagnosis of malignant hypertension was made and blood pressu...

A retrospective review was carried out of patients under 16 years old with malignant hypertension, who had been referred to a teaching hospital ophthalmology department because of reduced visual acuity. Four patients (three girls, one boy) were seen between 1994 and 2000 with a mean age at presentation of 11.5 years (range 9-15). In the short term, visual acuity improved after control of blood ...

PURPOSE To compare the visual and optical outcomes of four multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) with three different near additions of +3.00 diopters (D), +3.75 D and +4.00 D. METHODS In this prospective study, 133 eyes of 88 patients were implanted with one of the following IOLs: AcrySof(®) ReSTOR(®) SN6AD1 (+3.00 D) for Group A, Acriva(UD) Reviol BB MF 613 or BB MFM 611 (+3.75 D) for Group ...
