PURPOSE To compare the two transscleral fixation (TSF) techniques of intrascleral pocket and conventional scleral flap with conjunctival division techniques in terms of short-term clinical effects. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included all consecutive patients with aphakia in Gyeongsang National University Hospital in Jinju, Korea, who underwent TSF between January 2012 and Decembe...

BACKGROUND Complete removal of the cortex has been advocated to prevent posterior capsular opacification but carries the risk of zonular dehiscence, hence there is a need for a safe maximal cortical cleanup technique in eyes with severe diffuse zonulopathy in subjects above age 90. METHODS We used bimanual central cortical cleaning by elevating central fibers and aspirating them toward the pe...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of shoulder subluxation in stroke patients and the impact of rehabilitation and presence/absence of fluid in the subhumeral and subdeltoid bursae on the occurrence of instability. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group was composed of 182 patients after stroke, with 108 men and 74 women. 156 of the patients had suffered an ischemic ...

PURPOSE To report on the outcome of combined pars plana phacofragmentation, vitrectomy, and Artisan lens implantation in the management of subluxated cataracts. METHODS This prospective, interventional, nonrandomized case series included nine eyes of seven consecutive adult patients with traumatic lens subluxation. Pre- and postoperative data (complete manifest refraction, best spectacle-corr...

We describe a 36-year-old female who suffered from presenile cataract (nuclear sclerosis and posterior subcapsular opacity, with more-severe disease in the right eye than in the left) and report the use of some ophthalmologic examinations to evaluate the anatomic structures and visual functions of both eyes. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy showed increasing horizontal and vertical corneal diameters (14...

The tilt and decentration of intraocular lens (IOL) result in defocussing, astigmatism, and wavefront aberration after operation. The objective is to give a method to estimate the tilt and decentration of IOL more accurately. Based on AS-OCT images of twelve eyes from eight cases with subluxation lens after operation, we fitted spherical equation to the data obtained from the images of the ante...
