purpose: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of primary aphakic artisan–verysise intraocular lens (iol) implantation during complicated cataract surgery. methods: the study is a retrospective analysis of 49 eyes that underwent primary aphakic artisan iol implantation for complicated cataract surgery. compiled data included demographic information, visual outcomes and complications. pre- and pos...

A study of 132 cases of aphakic retinal detachment (ARD) following mainly intracapsular cataract surgery has been made. Forty-nine cases (37%) were found to have vitreous incarcerated into the cataract section out of a total of 54 (41%) cases who had suffered a vitreous complication during cataract surgery. A study of the characteristics of ARD reveals that those cases having had a vitreous com...

PURPOSE Scleritis is a rare presentation of herpes zoster ophthalmicus, complicated most commonly by iridocyclitis and raised intraocular pressure. These complications can recur in subsequent years, therefore they should be managed well. CASE REPORT We describe a female patient who developed scleritis, complicated cataract and secondary glaucoma 2 years after being diagnosed by HZO. Secondary...

Ten cataract extractions were performed on eight patients for whom warfarin was not discontinued prior to surgery. Three were complicated by hyphaema. No retrobulbar haemorrhages occurred in the four cases given a local anaesthetic. Cataract surgery can be performed successfully without discontinuing warfarin.

Progression in phacoemulsification techniques for cataract surgery[1-4] has also led to inevitable changes in the delivery of accompanying anesthesia from general to local modalities [5-7] i.e. retrobulbar, peribulbar, Sub-Tenon and topical anesthesia. General anesthesia is preferred for complicated intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE) surgery as this technique involves significant manipula...
