A young patient who showed rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with preoperatively undetected retinal break was successfully treated by scleral buckling using a noncontact wide-angle viewing system.

THE purpose of this paper is to describe certain points in the technique of lamellar scleral resection which I think help in its efficient performance and shorten the time spent upon it. Particular mention is made of the scleral marker, the suture-retention coil, and the suture-tying forceps, new instruments which I have designed to assist in the orderly conduct of the operation. The time taken...

Small volume fluid handling in single and multiphase microfluidics provides a promising strategy for efficient bio-chemical assays, low-cost point-of-care diagnostics and new approaches to scientific discoveries. However multiple barriers exist towards low-cost field deployment of programmable microfluidics. Incorporating multiple pumps, mixers and discrete valve based control of nanoliter flui...

purpose : to describe the case of a 21-year-old patient with uveal effusion with no microphthalmia and any systemic disease that was treated with scleral window surgery and topical administration of mitomycin c (mmc) and zonulysis which was misdiagnose as a ring melanoma of cilliary body appeared shortly after the operation case report : a uveal effusion was detected in the eye. partial-thickne...

A 65-year-old man with a history of bilateral trabeculectomy augmented with mitomycin C underwent surgery for a scleral rupture following trauma. The site of the rupture was a posterior extension of the scleral flap. Attempted closure of a ragged scleral wound was not possible without excessive distortion and induced astigmatism. Persistent hypotony due to over drainage was treated by patching ...

The output from a Coulter model S is captured by a specially designed silent interface which visualizes the results, automatically prints the data on a continuous paper roll and transmits the information to a card punch located in a data processing room. Further requested test data and patient identification data are subsequently added manually to the punch card. The completed deck of cards is ...

Scleral thickness, especially near the region of the optic nerve head (ONH), is a potential factor of interest in the development of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Our goal was to characterize the scleral thickness distribution and other geometric features of human eyes. Eleven enucleated human globes (7 normal and 4 ostensibly glaucomatous) were imaged using high-field microMRI, providing 80 m...
