PURPOSE To report the 2-year follow-up findings in a patient with buphthalmic bullous keratopathy (BK) who was successfully treated with non-Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (nDSAEK). METHODS A 39-year-old man had an endothelial graft of 8.0 mm diameter placed uneventfully using the nDSAEK method for phakic BK with buphthalmos of the left eye. He had had a penetrating ker...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to describe the aims, methods, donor and recipient cohort characteristics, and potential impact of the Cornea Preservation Time Study (CPTS). METHODS The CPTS is a randomized clinical trial conducted at 40 clinical sites (70 surgeons) designed to assess the effect of donor cornea preservation time (PT) on graft survival 3 years after Descemet stripping automa...

AIM To evaluate the results of cataract surgery performed in a rural Indian eye camp. METHOD The pre- and postoperative visual acuities and surgical complications were recorded prospectively in 6383 eyes undergoing cataract extraction for age related cataract in rural eye camps held in northern India in 1993-4. The best visual acuity and cause of poor outcome were recorded on 3908 eyes seen a...

Aim To evaluate the long-term follow-up of aphakic and pseudophakic eyes of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)-associated uveitis with a special interest in whether intraocular lens implantation increases the risk of developing ocular complications. Methods Data were obtained from the medical records of 29 children (48 eyes) with JIA-associated uveitis operated on for cataract be...

PURPOSE To evaluate efficacy, predictability and safety of Artisan-Verysise intraocular lens (IOL) secondary implantation for aphakia correction. SETTING Instituto de Microcirugía Ocular, and Autonoma University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain. METHODS Uncorrected visual acuity, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), manifest refraction, endothelial cell count, and clinical complica...

Focal electroretinograms (FERG), pattern electroretinograms (PERG), and visual evoked potentials (VEP) were studied in a group of 30 aphakic patients with cystoid macular oedema (ACME). When compared with a control group of age-matched aphakics, 35% of patients were found to have abnormal FERG responses and 53%--over half of whom had normal FERG responses--showed abnormal PERG amplitudes. Altho...

introduction: until now, many models have been presented for optical study of the human eye. in recent years, surgery on the anterior section of the eye (such as cataract and photo-refractive surgery) has increased, so a study on the optics of the eye and evaluation of vision quality has become more important. material and methods: in this article, some of these models are considered. they incl...

Modern management of congenital cataracts which interfere with vision consists of early removal of the cataract and correction of the refractive error by contact lenses or glasses (Parks and Hiles, I967; Von Noorden, Ryan, and Maumenee, I970). Skiascopic postoperative refraction of aphakic infants cannot always be performed satisfactorily because the opening is sometimes small and irregular and...

Objective: To compare the mean changes in central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal endothelial-cell density (CED) after removal of silicon oil (ROSO) using anterior (limbal) versus posterior (pars plana) approach in aphakic patients following successful retinal re attachment surgery. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Place and Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmolo...
