Purpose: To determine the incidence and determinants of intraoperative complications of cataract surgeries performed in Iran during 2000 to 2005 Methods: The Iranian Cataract Surgery Survey (ICSS) is a retrospective study in which random sampling was done from selected centers. One week per season between 2000 and 2005 was assigned to each center and records of cataract surgeries performed duri...

Eales disease, first described by Henry in 1880, constitutes an idiopathic occlusive retinal vasculopathy apparently multifactorial, and with a likely immunologic origin, which mainly affects the peripheral retina bilaterally young patients predominantly males. Most cases are asymptomatic early stages of disease however, course floaters blurry vision arise hemorrhages lead to significant visual...

Vision is prime sense to have facile life and abnormalities of vision are very common in all populations with various pathologies different parts eye such as cornea, lens, vitreous retina. Amblyopia one condition which characterized by reversible loss affecting or both the eyes. Examination important rule out any organic defect eye. In Ayurveda, many visual differences coined under heading Timi...

Cicatricial contraction of preretinal fibrous membrane is a cause of severe vision loss in proliferative vitreoretinal diseases such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). TGF-beta is overexpressed in the vitreous of patients with proliferative vitreoretinal diseases and is also detectable in the contractile membranes. Therefore, TGF-beta is presu...

Terson's syndrome is defined by an intraocular (vitreous, retinal or retrohyaloid) hemorrhage, consequent to acute intracranial bleeding a sudden elevated pressure. Undiagnosed early, can be responsible for serious ocular complication that leads complete vision loss. We report 57 year old patient representing after rupture of aneurysm the right sylvian artery. The rapid diagnosis and management...

Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) comprises of epicleritis or scleritis, periorbital pain, uveitis, vitreous opacity, and necrotizing retinitis. ARN is very diffi cult to make diagnosis if patient have several complicated ocular diseases and no views on the fundus examination. In this study, a suspicious ARN case reported here who had a left eye sudden visual loss, periorbital pain, uveitis, vitreou...

We investigated the spatial variation of vitreous oxygen consumption in enucleated porcine eyes. A custom made oxygen source was fabricated that could be localized to either the mid or posterior vitreous cavity and steady state vitreous oxygen tension was measured as a function of distance from the source using a commercially available probe. The reaction rate constant of ascorbate oxidation wa...

METHODS: We performed a multicenter (European Eye Institute, Baviera Group), retrospective, comparative study of 10,390 pseudophakic eyes from 5,195 patients who underwent multifocal intraocular lens implantation between January 2009 and January 2012. The exclusion criteria included a history of diabetic retinopathy, ocular trauma, intraocular surgery, vitreous loss during cataract surgery, pre...

Diabetic eye disease is the third most important cause of visual loss in England and Wales, after age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma.1 In contrast to the first two, the evidence shows that effective treatment for diabetic eye disease begins not in the eye clinic, but in the GP practice. Vision-threatening consequences of diabetes include proliferative retinopathy and maculopathy. Pro...
