The coral derived hydroxyapatite sphere is a popular, integrated orbital implant designed to provide improved motility of the ocular prosthesis following enucleation. Although the implant has rapidly become widely used by ophthalmologists, little information is available regarding the problems of this technique in a large series of cases. Experience with 250 consecutive cases of hydroxyapatite ...

Purpose In this report we record the first surgically induced Necrotizing Scleritis case related to trabeculectomy with the use of Ologen Collagen Matrix Implant. Observations Surgically induced Necrotizing Scleritis is a rare pathological entity that complicates ocular (sclera) surgery. Conclusions and importance Prompt management of surgically induced Necrotizing Scleritis related to trab...

The use of intravitreal (IVT) corticosteroids for treatment of posterior segment diseases has increased significantly over the last decade. A commonly recognized complication of IVT steroids is secondary ocular hypertension (OHT) that can occur immediately secondary to direct intraocular volume increase or weeks to months later as a result of increased outflow resistance. We performed a meta-an...

1989 was the 40th anniversary of intra-ocular lens implantation. Harold Ridley performed the first implant for cataract surgery in November 1949 at St. Thomas' Hospital. The idea developed on the following lines: It was known that trauma from plastic imbedded in the eye was inert, a situation seen mainly in air pilots who had suffered injuries from shattered windscreens. But the seed was sown b...

Diabetic retinopathy remains a major cause of worldwide preventable blindness. Measures to avoid blindness include medical management (control of blood sugar, blood pressure, and serum lipids) and ocular management (laser photocoagulation and pars plana vitrectomy). Adjunctive pharmacologic therapies (intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents) have ...

Due to various reasons, a person who is missing one eye may experience psychological as well excruciating suffering. Enucleation and evisceration surgery are the most often used methods remove sick or injured eye. The patient fitted with bespoke implant into orbital tissues after surgeon removes In order keep socket from looking hollow depressed, this replaces volume. Once has stabilized, prost...

A 16-year-old girl was accidentally kicked in her right eye by her cheerleading teammate in an exercise. Upward gaze ability of her right eye was severely impaired and computed tomography (CT) showed a trapdoor fracture of the right orbital floor. After surgical exploration, a silicone implant was inserted. No bleeding was confirmed at this time. The next day, CT detected a hematoma on the righ...

In order to assess the efficacy of hypromellose as a viscoelastic substance in cataract surgery with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation, we studied a series of 88 cases who underwent surgery with either alternate use of a viscoelastic substance (hypromellose, 39 patients, or sodium hyaluronate, 5 patients) or air (44 patients) in the anterior chamber. Endothelial cell loss was leas...

to investigate the safety profile and benefits of a short-term simultaneous treat-ment combining two drugs: an intravitreal implant of dexamethasone with an intravitreal in-jection of bevacizumab in patients with macular edema, this study was performed. this was a retrospective, non-randomized, open-label case series study.  patients were treat-ed between april 2014 and july 2015 and were diagn...

PURPOSES The study is to describe a new surgical technique for correcting large orbital implant exposure with extraocular muscle flaps and to propose a treatment algorithm for orbital implant exposure. METHODS In a retrospective study, seven patients with orbital implant exposure were treated with extraocular muscle flaps. All data were collected from patients in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital,...
