PURPOSE To investigate the optimal strategy for surgical management of traumatic cataract with posterior capsular rupture. METHODS We describe four cases of traumatic cataract with posterior capsular rupture and an in vitro model built to evaluate the optimal infusion pressure during surgery. RESULTS All patients underwent cataract surgery. By using an anterior chamber maintainer to elevate...

STUDY DESIGN A comparison of cervical facet capsule strain fields in cadaveric motion segments exposed to whiplash-like loads and failure loads. OBJECTIVES To compare the maximum principal strain in the facet capsular ligament under combined shear, bending, and compressive loads with those required to injure the ligament. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The cervical facet capsular ligament is th...

SUMMARY Performing secondary rhinoplasty in patients who underwent primary rhinoplasty using a silicone implant is difficult due to thinning of nasal skin and formation of a capsule. Excess capsule formation can cause capsular contracture, resulting in short nose deformity or implant deviation, migration, or implant demarcation. Revision rhinoplasty using a capsular flap, dorsal silicone implan...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) and cataract in a metropolitan Asian elderly population. DESIGN Population-based cross-sectional study. Age-related cataract was defined as any type of lens opacity (ie, nuclear, cortical, and posterior subcapsular opacity) with a Lens Opacities ...

PURPOSE Retinal arterial macroaneurysm (RAM) has been reported in association with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), and usually BRVO precedes RAM. We present a long-term follow-up case report of unilateral multiple RAMs that developed BRVO following ruptured RAM in the same retinal quadrant. CASE PRESENTATION An 80-year-old woman presented with floaters in her right eye in June 2012. Vis...

AIM To assess the complications and visual outcomes associated with cataract surgery in camp patients operated at a tertiary centre. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective study, 206 outreach camp patients had undergone cataract surgeries with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation under peribulbar anesthesia over a period of 6 months. Post-operative complications on Day 1 were gra...

PURPOSE To establish an optical section-assisted in vivo rabbit model for capsular bend and posterior capsule opacification (PCO) investigation. METHODS A total of 10 rabbits underwent phacoemulsification surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. On the basis of the relationship between the anterior capsule and IOL, the rabbits were divided into complete overlap and incomplete overlap ...

Herpes simplex virus uveitis without corneal reactivation is more frequent than previously thought. Although herpes has been implicated as a cause of postoperative and endophthalmitis, it not reported acute endophthalmitis within the early period, specifically one week following cataract extraction. A 55-year-old man with vascularized irregular central disc-shaped stromal opacity complicated ca...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of childhood corneal opacity on the anteroposterior length of the globe in adulthood. methods: twenty-three patients with significant unilateral corneal opacity which had developed before the age of 6 years and the normal fellow eyes (controls) were evaluated. a comprehensive ocular examination including measurement of anterioposterior length and anterior chamber...
