BACKGROUND The use of conventional foldable hydrophobic intraocular lenses (IOLs) in microincision cataract surgery (MICS) currently requires wound enlargement. We describe a combined surgical technique of MICS and trabeculectomy with insertion of a foldable IOL through the trabeculectomy fistula. METHODS After completion of MICS through two side port incisions, a 3.2 mm keratome is used to e...

In the early 1980s, Gimbel and Neuhann simultaneously and independently developed the continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis (CCC),1 a quantum leap over previous methods such as the can-opener technique used by cataract surgeons to open the anterior capsule for extracapsular cataract surgery. The development of the CCC reduced the frequency of anterior capsular tears extending to the bag equator...

PURPOSE To describe a novel technique for toric intraocular lens (IOL) repositioning and fixation in the absence of adequate capsular support. METHODS Case report and literature review. RESULTS Two cases are presented with scleral fixation of a one-piece toric IOL (SN6AT series; Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX). In both cases, toric IOLs initially placed within the capsular bag bec...

Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is a rare and the most severe form of functional intestinal obstruction in the newborn. The major features of this congenital and usually lethal anomaly are abdominal distension, bile-stained vomiting, and absent or decreased bowel peristalsis. Abdominal distension is a consequence of the distended, unobstructed urinary bladder w...

Frozen shoulder is a chronic fibrosing condition of capsule of shoulder joint. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of hydraulic distension in the treatment of frozen shoulder. 50 Patients with 54 shoulders of frozen shoulder syndrome were treated with hydraulic distension and steroid under local anesthesia from July 2014 to August 2016.Various parameters like pain, range of m...

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...
