Nanophthalmos refers to an eyeball of short axial length, usually less than 20 mm which leads to angle closure glaucoma due to relatively large lens. Intra-ocular lens extraction relieves the angle closure in nanophthalmos. Cataract surgery in a nanophthalmic eye is technically difficult with high risk of complications such as posterior capsular rupture, uveal effusion, choroidal haemorrhage, v...

cystoid macular edema (cme) is a painless disease with different etiologies, which manifests as multiple cyst like (cystoid) spaces in the macula. cme is a common cause of vision loss following cataract surgery. some risk factors for post-cataract surgery cme include intraoperative complications specially incarceration of vitreous in the surgical wound, history of diabetes, uveitis and postoper...

Dentists encounter a wide range of hard-tissue injuries in practice. Dental extractions are one of the most common procedures in dentistry and may lead to several complications, including oral sinus complications, osteitis, infection, dysesthesia, pain, and bleeding.

PURPOSE To estimate the long-term cumulative risk of retinal detachment (RD) after cataract extraction. METHODS Using the resources of the Rochester Epidemiology Project, we retrospectively identified all residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, who had cataract extraction from 1980 through 2004 (10,256 cataract extractions in 7,137 residents) and were diagnosed with RD. The observed probabili...

purpose: to evaluate the visual outcomes and complications of lensectomy, posterior capsulotomy, anterior vitrectomy and acrylic hydrophobic posterior chamber intraocular lens (pciol) implantation for congenital or developmental cataract in children 6-9 years of age. methods: in a prospective interventional case series, 13 eyes of 10 children with congenital or developmental cataract underwent ...

Day-case cataract surgery and the need for local anaesthesia are likely to increase. Retrobulbar (and peribulbar) anaesthetic injection is a common technique in cataract surgery, but serious complications are persistently reported. Subconjunctival injection is an alternative that avoids these risks. This retrospective study compares two groups of patients that underwent extracapsular cataract s...
