purpose : cataract surgery is the most common ocular surgery worldwide and in modern era of phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens (pc iol) implantation, refractive aspects of surgery is as important as the surgery itself. after the iol implantation, the anterior chamber depth (acd) is increased and the iridiocorneal angle is widened. these changes should be considered for ...

purpose : to evaluate distance and near contrast sensitivity (cs) under photopic and mesopic conditions before and after refractive lens exchange (rle) and implantation of the aspheric acrysof restor (sn6ad3 model) intraocular lens (iol) methods : sixty eyes of 30 consecutive patients after rle underwent bilateral implantation with the aspheric acrysof restor iol. the patients sample was divide...

purpose: to evaluate the predictability, efficacy, and safety of iris-claw artisanô phakic intraocular lenses ­for myopia. methods: through a prospective clinical study, 35 eyes of 21 patients with myopia from -5 to 26.5 diopters underwent implantation of the artisan lens. patients were examined 1, 3, and 7 days (all eyes); 1 month (28 eyes), 3 months (29 eyes), and 6 months (32 eyes) after the...

purpose: to describe a case with a rare complication of posterior chamber intraocular lens (pc-iol) implantation in a patient who had undergone extracapsular cataract extraction (ecce) two years before case report: a 80-year-old diabetic woman presented with an exposed pc-iol in her left eye with a history of mechanical trauma. slit-lamp examination revealed an extruded pc-iol lied on the anter...

purpose : to evaluate the near visual performance of an accommodative intraocular lens (iol) tetraflex, in comparison to a standard monofocal foldable iol in cataract surgery. setting: eye research center , farabi eye hospital , department of ophthalmology, tehran university of medical sciences, iran . methods : forty six eyes of 23 patients with cataract underwent phacoemulsification and accom...

The performance of an intraocular lens is determined by several factors such as the surgical technique, surgical complications, intraocular lens biomaterial and design, and host reaction to the lens. The factor indicating the biocompatibility of an intraocular lens is the behavior of inflammatory and lens epithelial cells. Hence, the biocompatibility of intraocular lens materials is assessed in...

INTRODUCTION Spontaneous dislocation of intraocular lens with bag is rare. METHODS We report a case of a 56-year-old male who presented with spontaneous anterior dislocation of an in-the-bag intraocular lens 3 years after manual small incision cataract surgery. He had undergone manual small incision cataract surgery with foldable acrylic intraocular lens implantation, and 18 months after cata...

BACKGROUND Improvement in surgical devices and intraocular lenses has made modern cataract surgery a safe procedure with decreasing complication rates. Intraocular lens dislocation is a serious complication after cataract surgery. Although most dislocations occur during the first week postoperative period, late intraocular lens dislocation occurring 3 months or later post-surgery has been repor...

Penetrating ocular trauma is one of the most important causes of vision loss, especially in men, and can be associated with intraocular foreign bodies. The incidence of intraocular cilia after trauma is very low. Here we report the case of a 24-year-old man who visited Poostchi Ophthalmology Clinic (Shiraz, Iran) due to a gradual vision loss in his left eye over the past 2 months. The probable ...
