purpose: to study the pattern of perfusion of central retinal artery (cra) after 0.1 ml intravitreal injection of bevacizumab to verify the need for any maneuver to decrease the intraocular pressure (iop) including anterior chamber paracentesis (acp) methods: this is a prospective, interventional, noncomparative case series. patients receiving intravitreal injection of bevacizumab for choroidal...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (pciol) implantation on intraocular pressure (iop) in eyes with chronic angle-closure glaucoma. methods: twenty-two patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma (cacg) and visually significant cataract were included in our study. all were underwent phacoemulsification and pciol implantation. iop, depth...

the aim of this study was to report a new cause of cataract, namely snake bite induced cataract in a dog. a 3-year-old male mongrel dog was referred to our clinic for the assessment of cataract in both eyes. the dog was bitten by a snake nearly 4 months ago. a 40 dioptre acrylic lens with 13 mm haptics was implanted into the lens capsule. in the left eye, posterior synechia was detected in the ...

purpose: to evaluate the effects of diurnal fasting during ramadan on intraocular pressure (iop) in healthy subjects. methods: the study was conducted on healthy male volunteer less than 40 years of age without ocular or systemic diseases who were on religious fasting during ramadan, 2004. intraocular pressure were measured at 9 am and 1, 5, and 7 pm in 2nd and 4th weeks of ramadan and also one...

to assess the one year results of artiflex phakic intraocular lens (iol) implantation in the treatment of high myopia. in this non-random interventional study, myopic patients with spherical equivalent worse than -5.0 diopters (d) who were not eligible for laser surgery were assessed. all patients had refraction, uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity tests (ucva and bcva), endothelial ce...

The relationship between intraocular and systemic blood pressures was investigated in a prospective study of 572 middle-aged men. There was no consistent relationship between intraocular pressure at first visit and age. Subjects with an intraocular pressure greater than 20 mm Hg had a significantly higher systolic blood pressure than controls matched for age. An autoregressive model was used to...
