PURPOSE To report a case of sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) associated with cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS CASE REPORT RESULTS A 50-year-old man developed SO two months after complicated cataract surgery and IOL implantation. Adequate and prompt use of immunosuppressive medications and removal of the IOL by pars plana vitrectomy techniques resulted in cont...

purpose: to compare the results of three-piece and one- piece hydrophobic acrylic posterior chamber intraocular lens (iol) with poly methyl metacrylate (pmma) iol implanted during lensectomy, posterior capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy for congenital or developmental cataract. methods: this is a historical cohort study conducted on patients with congenital or developmental cataract who underw...

The primary goal of refractive surgery is the smallest residual refractive error and preserved contrast sensitivity with the same visual capacity under bright and dim illumination. Corneal refractive surgery cannot correct very high ametopias; from -10 to -14 D is the limit of myopia correction in the cornea and from +4 to +6 D, the limit of hyperopia correction. Intraocular refractive surgery ...

introduction: in cases of poor satisfaction with aphakic glasses and intolerant or reluctant to use contact lenses, secondary intraocular lens (iol) implantation provide an alternative aphakic vision correction. this study aimed to evaluate surgical problems.  intraoperative and postoperative complications and visual acuity outcomes of secondary anterior and posterior chamber intraocular lens i...

An 86-year-old man with a Binkhorst 2-loop intraocular lens (IOL) that was implanted in the pupillary sphincter 33 years earlier was examined. The pupil of the implanted eye with the Binkhorst IOL was irregular and the eye had pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome. Pupillary erosion resulted from rubbing of the IOL edge against the pupillary sphincter with PEX material. The IOL was removed because o...

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 ...

Several intraocular lens (IOL) materials and types are currently available. Polymethyl methacrylate IOLs used to be the gold standard, but the inability of folding limits their use to selected countries and patients. Silicone IOLs were used more in the past because they are less suitable for microincisions. Foldable hydrophobic acrylic is the most popular material, which is also available in ye...

Intraocular lens (IOL)-related complications are caused primarily by mechanical trauma, inflammatory or infectious complications, or optical problems. Complications may occur at the time of surgery or be the result of an ongoing postoperative process. Mechanical and inflammatory injury may produce corneal decompensation, cystoid macular edema, hyphema, uveitis, and glaucoma, causing reduced vis...

We present the possibility of using a triplet as an intraocular lens (IOL). The matrix method was used to calculate the power of this triplet for high myopia. The thickness of the lens, the distances between the edges of the IOL and the endothelium, the distances between the edges of the IOL and the iris, and the nfluence of axial displacement have been analyzed. We have also compared the size,...
