OBJECTIVE To report epithelial perilenticular opacity as a new complication of intracorneal inlay implantation for the correction of hyperopia. DESIGN Prospective observational case series. PARTICIPANTS Eleven eyes of 7 patients underwent intracorneal inlay implantation for the correction of hyperopia. METHODS Intracorneal inlays were implanted onto the stromal bed by using a microkeratom...

Statement of Purpose: Targeted drug delivery into the eye is a challenging task because of a variety of barriers that prevent safe and effective delivery. Topical application to the eye is hindered by low residence time resulting in poor diffusion of drug into intraocular tissues. Intravitreal injection can deliver drugs to the retina effectively but is invasive and carries risk of infection. I...

A 20-year old male patient sustained trauma to the right eye by stone 7 years prior to presentation. The patient's right eye had corneal scar, sectoral traumatic cataract and chronic retinal detachment in which retinal detachment repair was done. Seven years later, the patient presented with intracorneal epithelial ingrowth, which was confirmed by histopathology. Conjuctival peritomy was done s...

A series of 22 patients with crystals in the anterior segment of the eye was examined by specular microscopy. Of 10 patients with hypermature cataract and hyperrefringent bodies in the anterior chamber cholesterol crystals were identified in four patients and in six of the 10 in whom aspirate was obtained cholesterol crystals were demonstrated in three, two of these having shown crystals on spe...

PURPOSE To report the use of intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation in a case of severe corneal thinning and irregularity secondary to alkali burn. CASE REPORT A 33-year-old man who had a history of ocular alkali burn in the right eye was admitted. His best corrected visual acuity was 0.16 with manifest refraction of +5.00 (-7.00 × 180°). Orbscan II(®) revealed steepening of >53 D supe...

BACKGROUND To investigate the effects of combined corneal wavefront-guided transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (tPRK) and accelerated corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) after intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation in patients with moderate keratoconus. METHODS Medical records of 23 eyes of 23 patients undergoing combined tPRK and CXL after ICRS implantation were retrospective...
