P osterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) are exquisitely engineered to provide excellent vision when implanted into a stable capsule following extracapsular cataract extraction. If the lens capsule or the supporting lens zonules fail, and the IOL dislocates, vision usually deteriorates. Unfortunately, just as cars are not designed to be easily fixed after crashing, IOLs are not designed to ...

We describe a case of modified femtosecond laser settings for cataract extraction in a patient with a posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), to avoid incomplete treatment patterns and treatment displacement. Modification of laser settings (increased depth for the capsulotomy, increased vertical spot spacing for the capsulotomy and increased anterior and posterior capsule safety margi...

The case for capsular bag fixation of the Sinsky-Kratz type of posterior chamber intraocular implant lens is presented, and the various methods in use to position implant lenses are outlined. The new forceps are described and the rationale for their adoption and use is given in an illustrated, step-by-step fashion. Their additional use in anterior chamber intraocular lens implantation is mentio...

purpose: to compare the effect of implantation of a single-piece hydrophilic foldable acrylic intraocular lens (iol) with rectangular optic edge and a single-piece polymethyl methacrylate (pmma) iol with rounded optic edges on posterior capsular opacification )pco(. methods: this randomized clinical trial study comprised 74 eyes with senile cataract in an otherwise normal eye in patients older ...

Here, we report on a patient with pseudoexfoliation syndrome who developed acute angle-closure glaucoma with a marked myopic shift due to anterior dislocation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens almost 16 months after an uneventful phacoemulsification. Examination with a Scheimpflug camera was extremely useful in confirming the diagnosis. This is the fist case of late-onset angle-closure ...

purpose : to evaluate intraocular pressure (iop) and anterior chamber depth (acd) change after phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation methods : in this quasi-experimental study, 84 patients with senile cataract were included. all patients had normal iop. patients with traumatic and complicated cataract, any history of uveitis, glaucoma, or other ocular disease ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the retrobulbar anesthesia and intracameral anesthesia using preservative-free bupivacaine hydrochloride 0.5% in terms of effectiveness, complications and comfort to the patient during phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. METHODS This was a hospital based comparative study of two methods of anesthesia, conducted at LRBT Free Eye and Ca...
