PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of implantation of a capsular tension ring (CTR) and posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) after lens extraction in subluxated cataracts. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology,General Hospital of PLA, Beijing, China. DESIGN Prospective case series. METHODS We selected 36 eyes in 34 patients with zonular dialysis <150°. After emulsification an...

PURPOSE To establish a novel murine intraocular lens (IOL) implantation model to study the protective effects of colored-IOLs against retinal phototoxicity. METHODS Two-millimeter diameter IOL buttons were created from IOLs for clinical use. Extra-capsular crystalline lens extraction and IOL implantation were performed in BALB/c mice using a technique similar to human cataract surgery. For li...

Introduction: To find the association of tumor size with grade of tumor and its extra capsular extension. Materials and methods: A review of record of all renal biopsies performed at pathology department King Edward Medical University over a period of two years was done. Results: It was found that large sized tumors tend to have a higher grade and this correlation was found to be statistically ...

INTRODUCTION the small-incision cataract surgery is gaining popularity among the ophthalmic surgeons. OBJECTIVE to compare the visual outcome of conventional extra-capsular cataract extraction (ECCE) and small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) in a hospital based community cataract program. MATERIALS AND METHODS aprospective interventional study without randomization was carried out includin...

Cataract extraction was performed on 734 patients. These were followed up postoperatively for up to 1 year. In 448 cases the extraction was performed in both eyes during 1 operating session (896 eyes) and in 1 eye in 286 cases, a total of 1182 cataract extractions. Preoperatively more than 75% of the eyes in both groups had perception of light only. Postoperatively more than 85% of eyes in both...

Clinical cards of all cataract patients operated on in the eye centre of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) between 2002 and 2006 were studied. The study comprised 114 eyes of 100 patients who had cataract surgeries done within the 5-year period of this study. The age of the patients ranged from 6 months to 94 years with mean age of 58.84±19.57years. Data obtained from the...

ed to trace as many patients as possible who had intra-capsular extraction performed by me more than one year ago and especially those who were operated on as far back as 1912-13. The latter of course would be of much more scientific interest if they could be reported on in fairly large numbers, but unfortunately this is impossible and the reasons are obvious. Most patients suffering from catar...
