Traumatic subconjunctival dislocation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) is a rare and emergency condition. Here, we report an interesting variation of rare case of inferior subconjuctival dislocation of PCIOL in a 75-year-old female patient following blunt trauma to her right eye with cow's head. All the previous literature with subconjuctival dislocation of PCIOL has reported t...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the myotoxicity of bevacizumab on extraocular muscles in a rabbit model. METHODS Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were used for this study. The animals were evenly divided into two groups. In the first group, 15 rabbits were treated with intramuscular injections of bevacizumab (1.25 mg/0.05 mL) in the right superior rectus muscle and normal...

controlling blood pressure adequately with antihypertensive drugs would have hypertension as a cause of subconjunctival hemorrhage. Perhaps the percentages of subconjunctival bleeding from hypertension would change if the appropriate definition of hypertension were applied. I read with interest the article by Mimura et al. [1] . The authors defined hypertension as treatment with antihypertensiv...

An orbital fracture is a common complication of trauma to the eye. One of the classical signs of such a fracture is the presence of subconjunctival emphysema as a consequence of direct passage of air from the nasal sinuses to the orbit.' 2 We have treated a patient who suffered from subconjunctival emphysema after trauma due to direct penetration of compressed air to the orbit, without orbital ...

The ocular penetration, elimination, and toxicity of equidose cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) (37.5 mg/kg) following subconjunctival versus intravenous injection were compared in rabbits. Drug levels were measured at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 hours in serum, urine, and ocular compartments. Following subconjunctival administration, the peak concentration of Ara-C in the anterior chamber was 15 times ...

A total of 43 patients (86 eyes) with chronic viral hepatitis were examined prospectively before and after the start of interferon therapy. Of 37 non-diabetic patients, 23 (group A1) did not have retinopathy or subconjunctival haemorrhage, 11 (group A2) developed retinopathy, and three (group A3) exhibited subconjunctival haemorrhage during the treatment. In most eyes, the retinopathy disappear...

A prospective study of 75 patients undergoing cataract surgery was conducted to identify the cause of postoperative conjunctival chemosis seen in patients with cataracts in this department. The patients were split in three groups of 25 each. Group G patients were given a subconjunctival injection of gentamicin at the end of the cataract procedure; group W patients did not receive subconjunctiva...
