OBJECTIVE We retrospectively analyzed the visual results and postoperative complications associated with severely traumatized eyes in which aphakia was corrected with epikeratophakia or a sutured iris prosthesis/intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS Fourteen eyes (14 patients) with traumatic aphakia and severe anterior segment complications were corrected either with epikeratophakia or a sutured ir...

PURPOSE To compare the rotational stability and posterior capsule opacification (PCO) rate in eyes with a 1-piece or 3-piece acrylic intraocular lens (IOL). SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria. DESIGN Prospective randomized masked clinical trial. METHODS Patients with age-related cataract received a plate-haptic acrylic IOL (Acri.Smart 46S) i...

AIMS To compare optotype acuities and re-operation rates in children corrected with a contact lens (CL) compared with an intraocular lens (IOL) following unilateral cataract extraction during infancy in a non-randomised, retrospective case series. METHODS 25 infants with a unilateral congenital cataract underwent cataract surgery with (IOL group, n = 12) or without (CL group, n = 13) IOL impl...

ince its adoption in 1997, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has proved very popular with software engineers and has become the de facto standard as a visual modeling language for software engineers. However, this software focus of UML has discouraged many systems engineers from adopting it in earnest. Those who did adopt UML developed strategies to cope with its shortcomings. A common approa...

PURPOSE To compare the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation methods for post-myopic excimer laser surgery patients without previous refractive surgery data using the Holladay IOL Consultant Program and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) IOL Power Calculator. SETTING Wang Vision Cataract and LASIK Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA. DESIGN Case ser...

A 57-year-old male patient visited our clinic for decreased visual acuity in the right eye for 10 days. He denied any trauma history, but recalled that the symptom developed after straining. He had undergone uncomplicated phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in the bag of the right eye 11 years ago. The IOL was a three-piece silicone polyimide-haptics de...

BACKGROUND Nowadays, dislocated intraocular lenses (IOLs) and inadequate capsular support are becoming a challenge for every ophthalmic surgeon. Explantation of dislocated IOL and iris claw IOL (ICIOL) are the techniques that have been used in our ophthalmic department. The aim of this study is to report our technique for retropupillar ICIOL. METHODS This study is a retrospective case series....

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the demographics, surgical indications and clinical results of patients with repositioned or explanted intraocular lens (IOL) in a tertiary referral eye hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight eyes of 48 patients that underwent surgery to exchange or reposition the IOL at Ulucanlar Eye Training and Research Hospital between 2009 and 2013 were included in the study. ...

BACKGROUND New strategies have been developed for surgical treatment of high myopia. Recently, implantation of minus power posterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOL) into phakic eyes has been introduced. METHODS We report a 37 year-old female patient who developed bilateral anterior subcapsular cataract 7 years after minus-power, top hat-style silicone posterior chamber IOL implantation in Ru...
