Uveal effusion syndrome (UES) was reported by Schepens and Brockhurst in 1963,1 and later described as a nanophthalmic disorderwith a scleral abnormality.2 Gass3 described idiopathicUES and hypothesized that the causewas a congenital anomalyof the sclera and vortex veins that was related to aging, hormonal changes, or impairment of the permeabilityof the sclera.Using histologicalmethods,Trelsta...

PURPOSE Trabeculectomy surgery is the most common operative procedure for the treatment of medically uncontrolled glaucoma. Variability exists in both the design and the position of the limbal wound as well as in outcomes, even in cases with similarly designed wounds. The purpose of this study is to describe the histologic features of the surgical site of human eyes received at a pathology labo...

Purpose: To determine the success of combined trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy with application Mitomycin C in primary congenital glaucoma. Study Design: Interventional case series. Place Duration Study: Mughal eye hospital Lahore from January 2018 to December 2019. Methods: Twenty-four patients glaucoma were included. Secondary corneal haze excluded. Corneal diameter above 11.5, 12.5 13 mm (wh...

To report a series of three cases (four eyes) scleral necrosis after pterygium excision, in which the tarsoconjunctival flap technique was used as treatment. Three patients who progressed to surgical excision were selected. The first patient underwent using bare sclera and developed thinning immediate postoperative period. second third received beta irradiation had late onset necrosis. performe...

purpose : to describe the case of a 21-year-old patient with uveal effusion with no microphthalmia and any systemic disease that was treated with scleral window surgery and topical administration of mitomycin c (mmc) and zonulysis which was misdiagnose as a ring melanoma of cilliary body appeared shortly after the operation case report : a uveal effusion was detected in the eye. partial-thickne...

Introduction: Primary open angle glaucoma is a symptom complex wherein there is damage to the optic nerve head with characteristic morphological and functional alterations in Optic Nerve Head (ONH). Aim: To compare the recent surgical approach minitrab with conventional trabeculectomy with reference to post-operative success. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was done in Theni Medic...

Dear Editor, In trabeculectomy, maintaining bleb integrity is essential for preventing hypotony, infection, and exposure of the sclera. An amniotic membrane (AM) is often used to manage bleb integrity-related problems such as intraoperative buttonholes [1] and late postoperative bleb leakage [2-4]. Herein we present a case in which a large conjunctival bleb defect (6 × 3 mm) occurred during tra...

PURPOSE To compare the surgical results of vitrectomy and scleral buckling for uncomplicated superior retinal detachment caused by flap tears. METHODS Included in the study were 225 patients (225 phakic eyes) undergoing primary surgery by three surgeons between January 1990 and December 1996 for superior retinal detachment caused by flap tears (138 eyes by scleral buckling, 87 eyes by vitrect...

ocular surface because of the absence of scleral flaps and are more likely to erode through the conjunctiva. Even a microscopic break in the overlying conjunctiva could result in bacterial contamination. It would be worthwhile to compare the incidence of endophthalmitis and suture exposure over the long term with the authors’ technique and the scleral flap method. Ajay Singh, MD Jay M. Stewart,...
