A elderly male presented with painful loss of vision in the left eye for 20 days expulsion intra-ocular content following a blunt trauma. The best corrected visual acuity was counting fingers close to face (CF-CF). Slit lamp examination revealed ciliary tissue prolapse gaping incision scar along posterior synechia, iris pigments, vitreous Anterior chamber, cells and flare. Patients aphakic had ...

PURPOSE To devise a means of providing controlled resistance between the anterior chamber and the subconjunctival space after trabeculectomy by implantation of a biodegradable, porous collagen matrix. METHODS Matrices were implanted in the right eyes of 17 rabbits after trabeculectomy, while left eyes served as surgical controls. The scleral flap was sutured loosely, and the implant provided ...

PURPOSE To determine the effects of mitomycin C (MMC) on the expression of chymase and mast cells in the conjunctival scar after trabeculectomy. METHODS Ten eyes of five monkeys were used. Three eyes underwent trabeculectomy with MMC (MMC-treated), four eyes had trabeculectomy without MMC (placebo-treated), and three eyes served as control eyes. Intraocular pressure was measured before and th...

One month later, the patient underwent an uneventful cataract surgery in the right eye. This ...

optical rehabilitation of the patient with aphakia who cannot tolerate contact lenses present a therapeutic challenge. in the absence of capsular support, anterior chamber lenses have been widely used. on the other hand intraocular lens implantation of scleral sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens during penterating keratoplasty or insufficient iris support is recommended. the purpose of t...

Pre-existing scleral pathology is an important risk factor for globe rupture during scleral buckling procedures. We report here, the surgical management of an unexpected scleral pathology found at the scleral buckling procedure in a retinal detachment patient. A 77-year-old white female with retinal detachment underwent a scleral buckling procedure. The surgery was converted into a scleral graf...

Supplemental intravitreal gas injection was used in the early postoperative period in an attempt to achieve long term retinal reattachment in 11 cases of failed scleral buckling surgery. Success was dependent on the presence of a correctly placed scleral buckle underlying all breaks. Surgical revision was thereby avoided in these patients. However, when the scleral buckle was inadequate the tec...
