purpose: to report the refractive changes after intraocular lens (iol) implantation in children with congenital and developmental cataract. methods: in this historical cohort study, the clinical records of children between 2 and 15 years old that had lensectomy with posterior capsulotomy, anterior vitrectomy and iol implantation with more than 5 years of follow-up were studied. refractive error...

Indomethacin treatment before lens extraction and vitrectomy-lensectomy reduces postoperative inflammation as measured by protein determination of the ocular fluid.

This chapter describes current surgical techniques used to correct myopia, including laser correction (laser surgeries), incisional techniques, intrastromal corneal rings, phakic intra‐ ocular lenses, and refractive lensectomy.

purpose: to assess the clinical course, determine the efficacy and safety of oral methotrexate in the control of intraocular inflammation and evaluate the outcomes of lensectomy-vitrectomy and goniosynechiolysis in pediatric vkh-associated panuveitis. methods: in this retrospective non-comparative interventional case series, 10 patients (20 eyes) with pediatric vkh-associated panuveitis (onset ...

Experience with the removal of complicated cataract by lensectomy in patients with juvenile chronic iridocyclitis (JCI) has so far been limited. The results of lensectomy were reviewed retrospectively in 131 patients with JCI (187 eyes). The mean follow up period was 5 years 4 months. The main operative complication was accidental loss of lens material into the vitreous cavity. The postoperativ...

AIM To report the results of combined vitrectomy, lensectomy and silicone oil (SO) tamponade in treating primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) associated with choroidal detachment (CD). METHODS A retrospective, consecutive and case series study of 21 subjects with concurrent RRD associated with CD was conducted. All subjects underwent a standard three-port 20G pars plana vitrectomy ...

PURPOSE We sought to document the difference in the vitreoretinal configuration of Stage 4 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in photocoagulated and treatment naive eyes undergoing vitrectomy and to correlate it with surgical complexity. METHODS Consecutive eyes posted for vitrectomy with Stage 4 ROP were documented preoperatively using a RetCam for the presence of peripheral traction (PT), pre...
