purpose: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of primary aphakic artisan–verysise intraocular lens (iol) implantation during complicated cataract surgery. methods: the study is a retrospective analysis of 49 eyes that underwent primary aphakic artisan iol implantation for complicated cataract surgery. compiled data included demographic information, visual outcomes and complications. pre- and pos...

Background: This study reports a case of silicone sponge intrusion as late complication scleral buckling surgery. Case presentation: A 57-year-old man underwent surgery 19 years ago due to retinal detachment his left eye. Visual acuity impairment eye was noted. His best-corrected visual (BCVA) 20/80 (logMAR 0.6). Intraocular lens-capsular bag-capsular tension ring luxation with implant extrusio...

OBJECTIVE Intraoperative-floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) has been recently described. It has been demonstrated that this new syndrome complicates cataract surgery. In this paper we have reviewed the syndrome, and offer practical information specially related to the origin and management of this syndrome and we offer practical information. MATERIAL AND METHODS A review of the related medical liter...

AIMS To report a case of a patient who developed uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema (UGH) syndrome after an uneventful cataract surgery and to discuss risk factors, diagnostic challenges, management options, and clinical implications. BACKGROUND Uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome is a rare but potentially serious cataract surgery complication. Clinical manifestations include increased intraocular pressu...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the value of ultrasonic biomicroscopy in reporting decreases in intraocular pressure resulting from changes in anterior chamber depth and angle after phacoemulsification and intracapsular lens implantation in patients with cataract. METHODS This prospective interventional case series included 50 eyes of 50 consecutive subjects operated at the sam...

PURPOSE To evaluate the changes in anterior chamber depth (ACD) and angle width induced by phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in normal eyes using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). METHODS Forty-five eyes (45 patients) underwent AS-OCT imaging to evaluate anterior chamber configuration before and 2 days after phacoemulsification and IOL implantat...

PURPOSE Implanting intraocular lens (IOL) in proper direction is important in cataract surgery to reduce the possibility of undesirable complications. We experienced a case who underwent vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery and developed secondary angle closure glaucoma caused by IOL misdirection. Goniosynechialysis (GSL) and repositioning of IOL successfully ameliorated the high intraocul...

PURPOSE Laryngeal papillomatosis can be an aggressive and potentially life-threatening disease, affecting both children and adults. Local excision is the gold standard of treatment, but recurrences are frequently inevitable. The purpose of this study was to present the experience of three institutions with different therapeutic modalities and discuss them in relation with the relevant literatur...

METHODS: The medical records of patients undergoing iris-fixated ACIOL implantation and subsequent RD repair over the three-year period from 2008 to 2011 were reviewed. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), manifest refraction spherical equivalent and axial length of these patients prior to their refractive surgery was noted. The time between IOL placement and presentation with RD was record...

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign, highly vascular, and locally invasive tumor. Because the location of these tumors makes conventional surgery difficult, interest in endoscopic resection is increasing, particularly for the treatment of lesions that do not extend laterally into the infratemporal fossa. We report the results of our series of 23 patients with JNA (stage IIB o...
