BACKGROUND Postoperative capsular block syndrome (CBS) is a unique and rare complication of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC). The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical characteristics and results of early postoperative CBS. METHODS Patients who developed early postoperative CBS after cataract surgery from October 1998 through September 2002 were retrospectively identifie...

Comment. Althoughhyphema isone of the most common early postoperative complications following trabeculectomy, to our knowledge, intralenticular collection of blood has not been previously reported. Because of the use of an operating microscope and the refinement of surgical techniques, lens injury during trabeculectomy has been infrequently reported. We hypothesized that there had been anterior...

Purpose: To determine the outcomes of implantation of a modified Capsular Tension Ring (CTR) and a Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens (PCIOL) in patients with subluxated lens secondary to Marfan Syndrome (MFS). Materials and methods: A total of 21 eyes of 12 patients with subluxated lens secondary to MFS undergoing Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens (PCIOL) from March 2004 to February 2005 were...

PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term outcomes of ciliary sulcus versus capsular bag fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs) in children after pediatric cataract surgery. METHODS IOL was implanted in the ciliary sulcus in 21 eyes of 14 children, and in the capsular bag in 19 eyes of 12 children for the treatment of pediatric cataract in an institutional setting. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) was p...

Dislocation of intraocular lens is a serious complication phacoemulsification with implantation lens. Among the causes early dislocation intraoperative complications predominate, as well various form their mixed fixation. In late postoperative period, capsular bag-intraocular complex mainly occurs, main reasons for which are zonular weakness and failure bag support or its fibrosis. Purpose : to...

Posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) subluxation is uncommon but represents one of the most serious complications following phacoemulsification. Late spontaneous IOL-capsular bag complex dislocation is defined as occurring three months or later following cataract surgery. Unlike early IOL dislocation, late spontaneous IOL dislocation is due to a progressive zonular dehiscence and contrac...

OBJECTIVE To find the most effective procedure to treat adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder, we evaluated the clinical effects of an ultrasonographic-guided anterior approach capsular distension and a fluoroscopy-guided posterolateral approach capsular distension. We expected the anterior approach to be better than the posterolateral approach because the rotator interval, a triangular anatomic ...

PURPOSE To establish a fully human in vitro culture model with which to test the putative effects of intraocular lens (IOL) designs in preventing posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery. METHODS A sham cataract operation was performed to prepare human capsular bags from donor lenses. In one capsular bag of a donor pair, an intraocular lens (PMMA round-edge IOL or acrylic ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of implantation of a capsular tension ring (CTR) and posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) after lens extraction in subluxated cataracts. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology,General Hospital of PLA, Beijing, China. DESIGN Prospective case series. METHODS We selected 36 eyes in 34 patients with zonular dialysis <150°. After emulsification an...

PURPOSE Our study aims to evaluate the morphology, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry of the spontaneously late dislocated capsular bag-intraocular lens (CB-IOL) complex. Various etiologies and possible pathogenesis of the event are also discussed. METHODS This was a tertiary-care setting and retrospective observational case series. The surgically explanted intact specimens of spontaneo...
