BACKGROUND Report of three patients with pseudophakic angle-closure from a Soemmering ring. Three mechanisms of the Soemmering ring induced pseudophakic angle-closure in three patients were demonstrated by meticulous anterior segment examination and ultrasound biomicroscopic (UBM) analysis. CASE PRESENTATION In the first case, the Soemmering-capsule-IOL complex caused relative pupillary block...

•Pseudophakic (PsRD) and phakic retinal detachments (PhRD) differed significantly in terms of preoperative characteristics. •PsRD PhRD with cataract showed several clinical similarities. •These results may support the role an inherent genetic predisposition to PsRD, addition surgery itself. Purpose To compare pseudophakic primary rhegmatogenous (RD) and, within RD, eyes without cataract. Design...

Material and Methods: Non comparative interventional case study was conducted at Isra Postgraduate Institute of Ophthalmology, Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Malir Karachi from 1 January to December 2005. Study include 23 pseudophakic eyes of 23 patients with pseudophakic retinal detachment, who underwent three ports pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade and endolaser. Postoperatively 3 m...

Purpose. To describe our surgical technique in the management of pseudophakic malignant glaucoma refractory to conventional treatment. Methods. Two pseudophakic eyes with malignant glaucoma underwent peripheral iridectomy, lens capsulectomy, hyaloidectomy, and anterior vitrectomy through a clear corneal incision by using a vitreous cutter. Results. Prompt resolution of malignant glaucoma was ac...

A pseudophakic pilot of the Israeli air force flying an F-15 (Eagle) aircraft was followed up for three years. He experienced about 100 flying hours, 5% of the time under high g stress. The intraocular lens did not dislocate and no complications were observed. It seems that flying high performance fighter aircraft is not contraindicated in pseudophakic pilots.

Purpose. To assess visual function using Optical Quality Analysis System (OQAS) at varying levels of contrast in pseudophakic eyes. Methods. The study included patients admitted to Seoul St. Mary's Hospital between January and February 2012: 143 pseudophakic eyes with one of five intraocular lens types, examined 2-6 months after cataract surgery, and 93 normal eyes (enhanced visual acuity (VA) ...

AIMS To compare anatomical and functional outcomes for 546 phakic and pseudophakic primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RDs) treated by pars plana vitrectomy or scleral buckling. METHODS Prospective, non-randomised, interventional study in 15 centres in Spain and Portugal, with data from RDs consecutively treated from January 2005 to May 2007. Cases with preoperative proliferative vitr...

OBJECTIVE To determine if pseudophakia affects selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed on 94 eyes of 75 consecutive patients who underwent SLT as primary treatment for ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma between 2002 and 2005 and completed at least 30 months follow up. Patients were ex...
