purpose: to evaluate the efficacy, safety, predictability and stability of implantable collamer lens (icl) and toric icl for the treat­ment of high myopia and high myopic astigmatism, one year prospective study. methods: in this prospective nonrandomized clinical trial, 95 eyes of 51 patients that had icl (31 eyes) and toric icl (64 eyes) were participate in eye research center, department of o...

PURPOSE This study was performed to first investigate the morphological differences in the optic nerve head between highly myopic non-glaucomatous controls and highly myopic glaucomatous eyes in comparison with the differences between emmetropic non-glaucomatous controls and emmetropic glaucomatous eyes using confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy. Further, the ability of the apparatus in glauc...

AIMS To determine the incidence and predisposing findings for choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in a large series of highly myopic patients. METHODS The medical records of 218 consecutive patients (325 eyes) with myopic fundus changes in the macula were reviewed. The incidence of CNV during a follow up of at least 3 years of highly myopic patients and identification of predisposing findings ...

A 27-year-old woman developed bilateral acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG) and transient myopia after taking oseltamivir for four days. On the fourth day, she received systemic and topical intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering agents, and IOP decreased in both eyes. However, her visual acuity was unchanged. A myopic shift of -5.25 D OD and -5.0 D OS was estimated to have occurred in the acute ph...

CASE REPORT A 73 year-old woman with depression treated with escitalopram developed acute secondary angle closure glaucoma related to uveal effusion after duplicating the drug dose 3 days before. She evolved favorably once the antidepressant treatment was suspended and a new treatment with topical hypotensive therapy and oral prednisone was used. DISCUSSION The uveal effusion syndrome associa...

Acquired esotropia with high myopia may be associated with superotemporal eyeball prolapse from the muscle cone and the subsequent shift of extraocular muscles limits the success of the traditional recession-resection surgery. In this study, we report two patients diagnosed with myopic strabismus fixus with esodeviation >90 prism diopter. Marked axial elongation of globes was present in both th...

Purpose: To analyze and compare changes in refractive error according to different haptic intraocular lenses after cataract surgery.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 508 eyes 254 patients who underwent surgery both eyes, with MBI<sup>®</sup> SAL302AC (C loop lens [IOL]) used one eye Zeiss<sup>®</sup> CT ASPHINA509M (plate IOL) other. Using Barre...

purpose : to compare retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) profile in subjects with myopia and emmetropia using gdx variable corneal compensator (vcc) methods : besides ophthalmologic standard examination (refraction, visual acuity and slit-lamp examination, applanation tonometry, and funduscopy), perimetry and scanning laser polarimetry (slp) were performed. 171 healthy age-matched subjects with lo...

Purpose. To investigate aqueous concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in eyes with myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Methods. Aqueous samples were collected, and VEGF concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 16 eyes (16 patients) with active myopic CNV, 23 eyes (16 patients) with high myopia without myopic CNV, and 8 control eyes (7 pat...
