A 46-year-old woman with moderate lens subluxation and Marfan ́s syndrome underwent a phacoemulsification on the right eye with a sutureless Henderson Capsular Tension Ring (HCTR) implantation. The surgical procedure and the postoperative follow up period were uneventful, with a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0 (LogMAR). Seven months after surgery the patient presented an inferomedial di...

Late capsular block syndrome (CBS) is a postoperative complication of cataract surgery. It occurs in cases in which there is a 360° adhesion between the continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis and the anterior surface of the optic of a posterior chamber (PC) intraocular lens (IOL). This adhesion creates the potential for the formation of a sequestered space between the IOL and the posterior lens ...

PURPOSE To describe the presenting characteristics and management alternatives of posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) dislocation secondary to dehiscence of the zonules supporting the capsular bag. DESIGN Observational case series. METHODS Multicenter retrospective analysis of the surgical treatment and predisposing factors associated with 25 eyes of 22 patients with dislocation of ...

PURPOSE To study the mechanical dynamics between the zonuli-capsular complex and an accommodating intraocular lens mechanics simulator using pharmacological stimulation of the ciliary body in a primate eye. METHODS Following phacoemulsification removal of the lens, force/movement gauges simulating the accommodating intraocular lens mechanics were implanted in 8 primate eyes (4 positioned in-t...

Background: Subluxation of the crystalline lens has various surgical management options. In moderate zonular dialysis, capsular bag may be preserved and used for intraocular (IOL) implantation using a tension ring or Cionni Capsular segment. It is technically demanding associated with high incidence complications such as IOL decentration, dislocation, posterior opacification (PCO). Advantages c...

AIMS To report a case of a patient who developed uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema (UGH) syndrome after an uneventful cataract surgery and to discuss risk factors, diagnostic challenges, management options, and clinical implications. BACKGROUND Uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome is a rare but potentially serious cataract surgery complication. Clinical manifestations include increased intraocular pressu...

BACKGROUND It is not known which region of the stomach is responsible for symptom generation or whether symptoms induced by gastric distension are region specific. Also, it is unclear whether low level gastric distension has a modulatory role on gastric tone and mechanosensitivity. AIMS To define differences in the sensorimotor response to distension between proximal and distal gastric disten...
