PURPOSE To determine the occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative complications up to three years after primary phacotrabeculectomy with intraoperative use of Mitomycin C (MMC) in primary open angle (POAG) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) patients, and the effect of postoperative complications on surgical outcome. METHODS Retrospective review of 160 consecutive patients with PO...

The management of acute primary angle closure is directed at lowering the intraocular pressure and relieving pupil block. Conventional treatment involves the use of medical treatment and laser peripheral iridotomy, respectively, as a means for achieving these aims. Newer therapeutic strategies have been described that are potentially useful adjuncts or alternatives to conventional treatment. Em...

In a series of 7 cases of acute aphakic pupil block glaucoma a surgical approach designed to break adhesions between the iris and the anterior hyaloid face was uniformly successful. Reasons for the success of the method are discussed and comparisons made with other surgical approaches.

We present the results from the spectral analysis of the time-average spectrum of the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy Ark 564 from a ∼ 100 ks XMM-Newton observation.

X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) data were obtained for the V K-edge for a series of anisotropic single crystals of (Cr(x)V(1-x))(2)O(3). The data and the results were compared for the as-prepared bulk single crystals (measured in fluorescence in two different orientations) and those ground to powder (measured in transmission). For the bulk single crystals, the glancing-emergent-angle (GE...

We report the case of a 46-year-old female patient who presented with bilateral acute angle closure during the course of dengue infection. Dengue diagnosis was confirmed by serological tests. The patient had plateau iris configuration identified by ultrasound biomicroscopy. This is the second reported case with this condition during dengue fever and the first to describe the characteristics of ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate prospectively the gonioscopic findings and their changes during a 3-year follow-up period in patients with acute central/hemicentral retinal vein occlusions (C/HRVOs). MATERIAL AND METHODS A comprehensive ophthalmological examination of both eyes including static and dynamic gonioscopy as well as ocular biometric measurements was performed in 57 patients with acute C/HR...

improve the procedure, and it may be that we shall also have to change some of our concepts. But the chief purpose of this paper will be fulfilled even if the hypothesis and the calculations which I have presented are erroneous, for my principal aim is to show that an efficient prevention of glaucomatous field damage is only possible by a quantitative determination of visual field sensitivity a...
