Objective. To report a case of toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) that was caused by inadvertent anterior chamber and cornea stromal injection with high dose gentamicin following cataract surgery. Methods. Case report. Results. We report a 72-year-old female patient who developed TASS that was caused by high dose gentamicin (20 mg/0.5 mL), which was inadvertently used during the formation o...

BACKGROUND Exacerbation of chronic glaucoma or acute glaucoma is occasionally observed in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) because of anterior chamber depth changes during this therapy. PURPOSE To evaluate anterior chamber depth and axial length in patients during HD sessions. METHODS A total of 67 eyes of 35 patients were prospectively enrolled. Axial length and anterior chamber depth...

OBJECTIVE To report a rare case of intraocular lens (ACIOL) opacification in the anterior chamber in an adolescent and to discuss the possible mechanism of its occurrence and the ways of its prevention. CASE A 16-year-old male underwent cataract surgery for developmental cataract with placement of a foldable posterior chamber IOL in the anterior chamber. There was subsequent opacification of ...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the changes of anterior chamber morphology after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in primary angle-closure (PAC) patients using Pentacam. METHODS 35 normal persons and 35 patients of PAC before and 1 week after neodymium: yttrium: aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) LPI were evaluated with Pentacam. We measured the anterior chamber angle (ACA), central anterior ...

The anterior chamber fluid in cynomolgus monkeys was replaced by a solution of albumin and diodone (iodopyracet) labeled with different isotopes of iodine. After 45 to 120 minutes the chamber fluid was collected and analyzed. The same type of experiment icas performed with albumin and my o glob in and with albumin and gamma globulin. In some of the experiments with albumin and myoglobin, the ti...

We report a combination of surgical techniques during Descemet-stripping automated endoithelial keratoplasty and intraocular lens (IOL) exchange in patients with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and angle-supported anterior chamber IOLs. During this procedure, the anterior chamber IOL is exchanged for a posterior chamber iris-claw IOL enclavated to the posterior iris; the anterior chamber is ke...

PURPOSE To compare anterior segment and ocular biometric parameters in unaffectedfellow eyes of patients with a previous attack of acute angle closure (AAC), primary angle closure suspect (PACS) eyes, and normal eyes; and to identify eyes at high risk of AAC among primary angle closure suspects. METHODS In this case-control study, 16 unaffected fellow eyes of patients with aprevious attack of...

PURPOSE To propose an alternative method to characterize postocclusion surge using a collapsible artificial anterior chamber to replace the currently used rigid anterior chamber model. SETTING Fundación Oftamológica Los Andes, Santiago, Chile. METHODS The distal end of a phacoemulsification handpiece was placed inside a compliant artificial anterior chamber. Digital recordings of chamber pr...

We discuss a case of bipseudophakia with secondary dislocation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) into the anterior chamber that was managed by explantation of the anterior and posterior chamber IOLs and implantation of an iris claw IOL.
