BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To compare the architecture of single plane self-sealing clear corneal incision (SP-CCI) and shallow grooved self-sealing clear corneal incision (SG-CCI) after cataract surgery using Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS An FD-OCT system with a corneal adaptor module was used to image the corneal incisions in radial sections in 44 ...

PURPOSE To determine whether a simple method for applying fibrin tissue adhesive to a clear corneal cataract incision can create a watertight seal. SETTING Laboratory investigation. METHODS Clear corneal cataract incisions were simulated in 8 eye-bank eyes. In 4 eyes, fibrin adhesive was applied to the incision in a simple manner; the other 4 eyes were controls with no adhesive. Each eye wa...

The aim of this work was comparison of preoperative and postoperative astigmatism after superotemporal or superonasal clear corneal incision. Twenty eight eyes of 28 patients treated with phacoemulsification through superotemporal or superonasal 3 mm clear corneal incision were examined by kerato-refractometer preoperatively and six months postoperatively. Adequate score was assigned to each pr...

Disease Course Pain is almost always associated with the onset of Mooren’s ulcer. One or both eyes may be involved at either the same time or one following the other. Approximately two thirds of cases affect one eye only. Mooren’s ulcer is more common in men than women. The eye is usually red and the vision may or may not be reduced. Damage begins at the edge of the cornea (near the junction be...

PURPOSE To assess astigmatism induced by paired opposite clear corneal incision (OCCI) compared to single incisions and to investigate factors on which its effect depends. METHODS The study comprised 326 eyes from 326 patients. In patients with <1.0 D corneal astigmatism, clear corneal incision was performed (CC group, n = 245), and in those with >1.0 D preoperative corneal astigmatism, a sec...

PURPOSE To describe the results of a pars plana vitrectomy, combined with phacoemulsification, using a sutureless, superotemporal, clear corneal incision for patients with a macular hole. METHODS This study reviewed the records of 22 patients (22 eyes) who underwent a phacoemulsification with the insertion of an acrylic intraocular lens, using a 3.2 mm superotemporal clear corneal incision an...

T husday, M ay 4, 2017 improvement in visual acuity six months post-operatively. Histological examination of explanted corneal tissue confirmed the presence of neurofilament+ axon profiles in the cornea after neurotisation. Analysis of MEG data identified a clear absence of evoked response in the anaesthetic (right) cornea prior to neurotisation. Following neurotisation, an evoked response was ...

Complications and Management of NewColorIris Implantation in Phakic Eyes To the Editor: Since 2004, the NewColorIris (Kahn Medical Devices, Panama City, Panama) silicone prosthesis has been implanted for cosmetic eye-color change in phakic eyes.1 These implants have been linked to sight-threatening complications including endothelial cell loss, corneal edema, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP)...

BACKGROUND Surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) was one of the factors that influences the desirable refractive outcome, and it was related to the length, type, location, structure of the incision and to the suture closure technique, etc. The aim was to evaluate the association of corneal histocytological changes with SIA after phacoemulsification. METHODS The study enrolled 68 cases of catar...
