BACKGROUND Capsule related complications are common following pediatric cataract surgery. We report a new technique of multiple anterior capsulorhexisotomies after lens aspiration and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS After performing automated lens aspiration, an IOL was implanted into the capsular bag. A bent 26 gauge needle was introduced through one side port and multiple small...

Conventional CPV systems focus sunlight directly onto a PV cell, usually through a non-imaging optic to avoid hot spots. In practice, many systems use a shared tracking platform to mount multiple smaller aperture lenses, each concentrating light into an associated PV cell. Scaling this approach to the limit would result in a thin sheet-like geometry. This would be ideal in terms of minimizing t...

Numerous studies indicate that with the chronic effect of trinitrotoluene (TNT, TNT) on human body, peculiar specific opacities appear in lens [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 Despite accumulated material clinic trotyl cataract, change organ vision as a whole during poisoning has not been studied enough. There is no unified classification lens, issue pathogenesis toxic cataracts finally resolved, insuf...

Glutaredoxin 2 (Grx2), a thiol-regulating enzyme of oxidoreductase family and a mitochondrial isozyme of glutaredoxin 1, was discovered 11 years ago in our laboratory. Grx2 is present in the lens where it shows dethiolase, peroxidase, and ascorbate recycling activities. Recently, Grx2 has also been identified to protect the mitochondrial electron transport system with anti-apoptotic function. S...

Examination of the optic nerve head (ONH) is essential for the diagnosis of glaucoma and assessment of its progression. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy with a handheld lens is the best method of ONH examination since it provides good stereopsis and magnification. ONH stereo photographs are complementary and may identify findings missed on slit-lamp examination. As a result of its subjective nature, a s...

The optic anlage of the anophthalmic murine strain ZRDCT/an has been studied. In this strain, 70% of the adults are anophthalmic, 30% are one-eyed. The eye primordium appears and starts to differentiate at day 9 of gestation, then it degenerates. At 13 days of gestation, it has practically disappeared. When isolated and cultured in vitro, the 10-day anophthalmic anlage develops in the same way ...
