PURPOSE To assess the relationship between apparent accommodation in pseudophakic eyes, multifocal corneal effects, and wavefront aberrations of the cornea. METHODS In 102 eyes of 86 patients who had undergone phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation, the amount of apparent accommodation was measured with an accommodometer. The degree of corneal multifocality wa...

purpose: to compare clear corneal incision and scleral tunnel incision in terms of intraocular pressure (iop), post-operative inflammation, induced astigmatism, and corneal edema in phacoemulcification. methods: this non-controlled clinical trial was conducted on 78 eyes with senile cataract. a clear corneal incision was made in 40 eyes and a scleral tunnel incision was made in 38 eyes. all eye...

PURPOSE To report clinically symptomatic and angiographically documented cystoid macular edema (CME) associated with the use of latanoprost in two pseudophakic eyes after uncomplicated cataract surgery. METHODS Retrospective review of two patients who had history of latanoprost use and uncomplicated cataract surgery and described blurred vision in the first postoperative month. RESULTS Ocul...

purpose: to compare corneal biomechanical properties and intraocular pressure (iop) in eyes with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (pbk) before and after descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (dsaek). methods: this prospective non-randomizedintrasubject comparative study was conducted on 44eyes of 22 patients with the diagnosis ofpbk who underwent dsaek in one eye.intraocular pre...

Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) is a common complication following cataract surgery. Acute PCME may resolve spontaneously, but some patients will develop chronic macular edema that affects vision and is difficult to treat. This disease was described more than 50 years ago, and there are multiple options for clinical management. We discuss mechanisms, clinical efficacy, and adverse eff...

purpose: to present a patient with localized corneal edema due to a small retained fragment of nucleus in the anterior chamber after uncomplicated phacoemulsification. case report: a 74-year-old female subject with history of phacoemulsification in her right eye about 1.5 years ago complained of foreign body sensation, pain and decreased vision in the same eye. visual acuity of that eye had dec...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical indications and postoperative results of iris-sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens implants performed during penetrating keratoplasty. METHODS Medical records were retrospectively reviewed for preoperative indications and postoperative results of 342 consecutive patients (366 eyes) who underwent iris suturing of a posterior chamber intraocular lens impla...

We describe the case of an 86-year-old patient, pseudophakic in both eyes and with high myopia, who had previously had a 25-G vitrectomy with 20% C3F8 used as a tamponade due to a total retinal detachment with choroidal hemorrhages and macular hole. At the postoperative 4-month follow-up, we found 360° iridocorneal synechiae with elevated intraocular pressure due to angle closure in all sectors...

Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) is the most common complication of cataract surgery, leading in some cases to a decrease in vision. Although the pathogenesis of PCME is not completely understood, the contribution of postsurgical inflammation is generally accepted. Consequently, anti-inflammatory medicines, including steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, have been postulat...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether endothelial cell loss 5 years after successful corneal transplantation is related to the age of the donor. DESIGN Multicenter, prospective, double-masked clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS Three hundred forty-seven subjects participating in the Cornea Donor Study who had not experienced graft failure 5 years after corneal transplantation for a moderate-risk conditio...
