purpose : to report two young patients with unilateral pseudoexfoliation (pex) syndrome case reports : two young patients with pex syndrome were examined. the first was a 30-year-old woman who had a history of penetrating ocular trauma with iris prolapse in the right eye that subsequently developed pex material deposition on pupillary border and anterior lens capsule. the second was a 13-year-o...

purpose : to determine cyclotorsional eye movement between the upright position and the supine position, in iranian patients with high preoperative astigmatism methods : this prospective cross sectional study contains 102 eyes of 59 patients who were candidates for refractive surgery with technolas 217z100 excimer laser system for correction of high astigmatism. wavefront measurements using zyw...

purpose : we describe our experience on safety and effectiveness of phacoemulsification in cataract and congenital iris coloboma and point out some specific surgical recommendations aimed to minimize its complications. methods : a prospective case series study was conducted on nineteen consecutive patients with cataract and congenital iris coloboma referred to the farabi eye hospital in tehran....

purpose: to demonstrate an approach to the problems of cataract surgery in extensive iridoschisis methods: four eyes of 2 patients with extensive iridoschisis had cataract surgery by the same surgeon using the techniques that resembled techniques for phacoemulsification in intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (ifis). we used low flow parameters on phacoemulsification, used super-cohesive ophthal...

SUMMARY Iris cyst occurs post intraocular -surgery or post penetrating trauma, when corneal epithelial cells or conjunctiva} epithcells gains access to the anterior chamber, with cells may continue to grow & covering all available surface and formed iris cyst. As the cyst grow may caused glaucoma or block pupil area & leads to vision treatment of all form of iris cyst and epithelial down growt...

PURPOSE To study iris-related complications during cataract surgery in patients on tamsulosin medication. METHODS Twenty-one consecutive cataract patients administered tamsulosin and 21 control patients were studied. Characteristics of the iris during surgery were recorded. Pupillary diameters of 16 patients were measured before and after iris dilatation. Tamsulosin concentrations in the aque...

A patient who had been observed to have an iris microhaemangioma (capillary haemangioma), confirmed on fluorescein iris angiography, came to cataract surgery. The lesion was excised at the time of surgery and submitted to light and electron microscopic study. It had the features of a hamartoma of the capillary haemangioma type, with its characteristics being specific for vessels seen in iris ti...
