Improvements in the technology cataract surgery have provided advancements techniques surgical management aphakia. Locally, we limited data on outcomes different intraocular lenses used aphakia.Objective. This study aimed determine visual and complications associated with lens implantation absence s...

O cular hypotony is associated with significant visual dysfunction depending on its severity and duration. One etiology of hypotony is cyclodialysis cleft (CDC), a disinsertion of the longitudinal ciliary muscle fibers from the scleral spur. Originally described as a planned surgical treatment for intractable glaucoma, CDC may be observed following trauma or as an inadvertent surgical event fro...

Iridoschisis is a rare condition that consists of the separation of the anterior mesodermic layer of the iris. In more than two-thirds of cases it is associated with glaucoma. We report the case of an 80-year-old patient who had bilateral iridoschisis and presented with acute angle-closure glaucoma. The patient was free from a history of ocular trauma or of heritable ocular disease. Chronic ope...

Gonioscopy and goniophotography were performed on 137 eyes with the Optiflex angle supported implant. At the time of gonioscopy the lenses had been in situ for a median of 20 months, with a range of 3-38 months. In 75.9% of cases one or both haptics were positioned posterior to the scleral spur with some degree of iris push. Iris tuck was seen in 29.2% of cases. Three different types of fibrous...

The capsule of the crystalline lens, if sufficiently present, is used as a support tissue for intraocular lens (IOL) implantation surgery performed on vitrectomized eyes. Eye trauma or iatrogenic damage during complicated cataract surgery, loss of position and zonule connections of the crystalline lens, and IOL via dislocation may cause loss of support tissue for lens capsule implantation prior...

Ocular traumas are the leading cause of preventable vision loss in children and adults. The incidence of eye injuries varies between countries. In a previous study that was made by McGwin et al. in 2005, it was found that the number of ocular injuries in United States annually is approximately 2 million, with 40 thousand resulting in permanent vision loss [1]. Many studies have investigated ope...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this article is to evaluate and review the scientific literature on pediatric ocular trauma from the past several years. Recent advancements have recognized mechanisms of injury that may be unique to children, require different treatment course than adults, and raise multiple public health concerns. RECENT FINDINGS Epidemiologic studies have shown that ocular trau...

Aim: To study clinical and epidemiological characteristics of child’s ocular injuries. Patients and Method: Retrospective study on medical records of children suffering from traumatic injuries of the ocular globe presented to the Campus Teaching Hospital (CHU Campus) of Lomé from 3 January 2015 to 30 June 2016 (18 months). Age, sex, nature of the traumatising agent, consultation delay and the w...
