Purpose: To describe a new intraocular lens that can be implanted in case of rupture of the posterior capsule and lack of capsular support. Methods: This experimental study was carried out on ten Flanders rabbits. The right eye of each rabbit underwent intra capsular lens extraction and two peripheral iridectomies, and the new lens was implanted with an optic rest in the posterior chamber. Addi...

PURPOSE To study in situ the intraocular position of the Artisan iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL) (model 203) (Ophtec) in phakic hyperopic eyes using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). METHODS Echograms of the anterior chamber were taken preoperatively and 24 to 317 days postoperatively in 4 eyes implanted with the Artisan IOL (power +4.0 to +6.0 diopters). The preoperative anterior chamber dept...

Background: To provide insights into the characteristic of ultra-late onset capsular bag distension syndrome (CBDS) after phacoemulsification. Design: An interventional, retrospective case series at a tertiary care institute. Participants: 5 Post-cataract surgery patients who presented with the retrolenticular fluid collection. Methods: This is an interventional, retrospective case series of 5 ...

A 38-year-old woman presented with corneal decompensation in left eye secondary to irido-corneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome. She underwent simultaneous Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) and clear lens extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. The surgery was accomplished comfortably without rupture of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS). 5 weeks postope...

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...

We present a case of fulminant panuveitis following iris suture fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens. We hypothesize that the zonular dehiscence allowed the inflammatory cells in the anterior compartment to gain access to the posterior segment mimicking endophthalmitis or toxic anterior segment syndrome. Also certain bulky lens designs, like the current Rayner hydrophilic acrylic le...

PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term visual outcomes and complications of cataract surgery in eyes previously treated for retinoblastoma. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation at Seoul National University Children's Hospital for a secondary cataract that developed after retinoblastoma treatment. RESULTS During th...
