As the knotless approach reliably avoids suture erosion, external fixation can be performed without any protecting scleral flaps or lamellar grooves. The needle is simply passed through the sulcus and the emerging polypropylene suture is secured in the sclera using a zigzag-shaped intrascleral suture (Z-suture). Each pass starts directly adjacent to the exiting site. Five passes are sufficient to reliably fix the suture so that it resists even maximum tractive forces...

Gender-specific differences in orbital FV and MV disappear once FV and MV are related to the orbital bony cavity volume (OV), by calculating the ratios FV/OV and MV/OV. Age-specific gender-neutral reference ranges (2.5 and 97.5 percentiles) of FV/OV and MV/OV are presented.

The operation was performed using flap mode software to create two anterior arcuate side cuts in each eye using a femtosecond laser (IntraLase/AMO, Irvine, California; 30 kHz) in a 30-year-old female with a naturally occurring high astigmatism (with-the-rule) of 5.25 D in both eyes. In the right eye, the manifest refraction improved from -3.5+5.25x89 preoperatively, with an uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of counting fingers (CF) and a best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) of 20/25, to -1.75+2.75x90 postoperatively, with a UCVA of 20/50 and a BSCVA of 20/20.

Thus far, no case of endophthalmitis has been reported following non-penetrating glaucoma surgery, even with the use of intraoperative antimetabolites. However, there is currently insufficient evidence to conclusively demonstrate that NPGS is associated with significantly less risk of endophthalmitis and infection when compared to trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage device implantation.

Early recognition is critical though its initially nondistinctive appearance frequently delays diagnosis and treatment. Herein, the authors have performed a systematic review of previously published cases including clinical features, diagnoses and differential diagnoses, pathologic characteristics, and management. Periorbital necrotizing fasciitis is seen mainly in adults with a female predominance (54%); about half (47%) of the patients are previously heal...

However, this subtype is often excluded from clinical trials aimed at assessing the efficacy of various treatment options for NV-AMD. So, there are no established protocols for the management of RAP. This review of current literature on RAP compares the outcomes of various treatment options for this condition and highlights the lack of clinical trials and paucity of long-term data on this relatively common condition.

Lidocaine 2% causes oxidative damage on corneal and lens tissues.

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, after cataracts, and the leading cause of irreversible blindness, but many aspects of its pathogenesis remain unknown. H pylori infection may influence the pathophysiology of glaucoma by releasing various proinflammatory and vasoactive substances, as well as by influencing the apoptotic process, parameters that may also exert their own effects in the induction and/or progression of glaucomatous neuropathy. It is difficult to understand how H pylori infection can be linked ...

There is concordance of practice with regards to surgical technique and choice of IOL model. However, there is some variation in eligibility criteria for primary IOLs: this may reflect a lack of consensus on which children are most likely to benefit. Thus, there is a need for systematic studies of the outcomes of primary IOL implantation in younger children.

The association between lower CH and deeper ACD demonstrated the importance of CH as a determinant of ocular biometry in both the anterior and posterior segments.

Molecular diagnosis confirms the clinical diagnosis and provides the basis for possible future gene therapy.

Visual stabilisation was achieved in most cases. Given the acceptable rate of side effects detected, I-125 episcleral brachytherapy should be considered in large tumours, in tumours with a subfoveal location or extensive subretinal fluid and in tumours that have failed to respond to other treatments.

His neurologic exam was remarkable for a wide based ataxic gait with appendicular, axial, and speech ataxia. His eye exam revealed saccadic pursuits and reduced visual acuity. Ophthalmoscopic evaluation of the fundus was remarkable for diffuse attenuation of the arterioles and minimal foveal fine pigmentary mottling. A full-field electroretinogram revealed abnormalities that tended to be more prominent in cone mediated responses. Visual field assessment showed increased blind spot and a left pericentral scotoma.

Low rates of hyperaemia were observed in patients treated with bimatoprost or travoprost after switching from latanoprost.

Already little infiltration was sufficient to reject a corneal allograft. The dominance of infiltrating NK cells and the vigorous rejection process suggest an involvement of the innate immune system in this process.

A diagnosis of epithelial downgrowth into the anterior chamber was made. We decided to treat the increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) by performing the implantation of an Ahmed valve plus injection of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) for anterior chamber toilette and a posterior capsulotomy to solve the flattened anterior chamber. Aqueous humor cytology and iris biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. The drainage device reduced IOP only temporarily . Anterior vitrectomy and posterior capsulotomy resolved the flat anterior chamber. The drug 5-FU did not completely stop cellular proliferat...

Down-regulation of OPA1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of LHON.

Preliminary results show stabilization of vision, resolution of subretinal hemorrhage, decrease of macular edema and persistence of polypoidal complexes, although two eyes showed regression of polyps.

Of the techniques evaluated a sub-Tenon's block with 300 units of hyaluronidase gives best anaesthesia, analgesia and patient satisfaction results.
