PROBLEM Effective tamponade of a Descemet-stripping endothelial keratoplasty graft with a gas bubble requires that there is no route for the bubble to escape into the posterior chamber. SOLUTION Exchange the angle-supported anterior-chamber intraocular lens (IOL) for an iris-enclaved Artisan IOL and position the IOL haptics over the peripheral iridectomy to occlude it to the extent that no ga...

In 1865, Bowman was the first to recog­ nize the clinical entity of pupillary block, which he observed more frequently after cataract extraction without iridectomy than after cataract extraction with iridectomy. Bowman described this condition only as occurring shortly after discission of a sec­ ondary cataract. From his description it may be surmised that the mechanism in­ volved was obstructi...

AIM: To report the outcomes of three cases corneal perforation managed with simultaneous tectonic Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (t-DSEK) and Bowman layer transplant (t-BLT) as an alternative to penetrating (t-PKP). METHODS: Three eyes patients receiving t-DSEK t-BLT for were included. The technique DSEK was modified depending on individual requirements. standardised using 8 mm gra...

Iridectomy was performed in all but one of the first 65 cases, and in all but a very few of the last 65 cases. In the interval cases it was omitted when possible. The arguments for and against are familiar, but, in addition to the greater safety it affords, an iridectomy certainly facilitates efficient irrigation, and I now frequently do it secondarily, after the extraction of the lens, if a pr...

The passage of fluorescein dye, injected into the general circulation, from the posterior to the anterior chamber was studied in 60 selected aphakic eyes between 2 days and 4 weeks after an uneventful cataract extraction. In a group of 22 eyes with intact anterior hyaloid, fluorescein was seen to pass only through the pupillary margin, mostly within 20 seconds of the beginning of the eye inject...
