AIM To compare the magnitude of apparent accommodation in pseudophakic eyes with refractive against-the-rule (ATR), with-the-rule (WTR) and minimum astigmatism. Factors associated with apparent accommodation were also examined in each group. METHODS In total, 87 pseudophakic eyes (87 patients) that underwent monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation after uneventful cataract surgery were ...

PURPOSE Recent studies report that increased corneal edema because of contact lens wear under closed lids is associated with elevated Goldmann intraocular pressure (GAT IOP). We sought to assess whether the impact of postoperative corneal edema on GAT IOP would be similar and to determine the differential effect of different amounts of edema. METHODS The setting is a tertiary level cataract c...

BACKGROUND To report two cases of Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) in patients with existing scleral-fixated and iris-fixated intraocular lenses (sf-IOL and if-IOL, respectively). CASE PRESENTATION DMEK procedures were performed on a 49-year-old woman with a pre-existing sf-IOL (case 1) and a 69-year-old woman with a pre-existing if-IOL (case 2) in order to treat secondary co...

purpose: to evaluate corneal thickness changes after soft contact lens (scl) removal in lasik candidates. methods: fifty lasik candidates (100 eyes) with history of daily wear scl for at least 6 months were enrolled in this descriptive study. central corneal thickness was measured by ultrasonic pachymetry immediately after lens removal and then repeated daily at the same time, until the thickne...

OBJECTIVE To determine mean change in visual acuity, central corneal thickness and symptoms in patients with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy after treatment with corneal collagen crosslinking. METHODS This quasi experimental study was conducted at Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmology, Rawalpindi, Pakistan from April 2015 to Nov 2015. A total of 24 eyes of 24 patients were included in the ...

PURPOSE To report a case of aniridia in a pseudophakic patient following blunt trauma to the eye. CASE REPORT The traumatized eye had cataract surgery through a 3.0 mm clear corneal incision 6 years prior to the incident. While there have been previous cases of traumatic aniridia in pseudophakic eyes, previous reports have all occurred closer to the time of the cataract surgery. We believe th...

A 64-year-old Caucasian man referred for decreased vision after selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). Slit lamp examination revealed diffuse corneal edema. Despite intensive topical treatment including steroids, corneal edema did not resolve; on the contrary, it advanced to bullous keratopathy. Corneal edema after SLT is an exceptionally rare complication and in all of the previous reports ede...

BACKGROUND Corneal stromal pseudohypopyon is a rare entity. CASE A 65-year-old female developed a suture abscess in her pseudophakic right eye, three years after conventional extra-capsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. Pusfrom the suture abscess tracked down the corneal stromal layers and formed a pus level leading to the appearance of a corneal in...

a 53 year-old woman presented with corneal edema 25 years after uneventful penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus. she was initially misdiagnosed with acute endothelial rejection; however by observation of descemet’s membrane detachment, a diagnosis of late onset corneal hydrops following corneal transplantation was made. this is a rare complication which may occur many years after penetratin...
