OBJECTIVE The aim was to report the surgical outcomes of simultaneous Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) with a retropupillary fixated iris claw lens in patients with aphakic corneal edema without capsular support. METHODS The clinical records of aphakic patients with corneal edema

The presence of cystoid macular edema (CME) after cataract extraction in the pediatric age group could adversely affect rapid visual rehabilitation of the eye by contributing to irreversible amblyopia. Several previous studies, including one by our group, have addressed this problem. Hoyt's

Angiographically confirmed cystoid macula edema occurs in 8% of aphakic patients and 3% of these patients will suffer permanent reduction of visual acuity. This is apparently due to inflammatory reactions and to alterations of the vitreo-macular interface. Intracapsular cataract extraction has a

Prostaglandin analogs are powerful ocular hypotensive agents that may also be associated with a breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier and cystoid macular edema. The association is evident in pseudophakic or aphakic patients. This paper presents a case of unilateral latanoprost-associated clinical

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of prostaglandin analogues on the blood-aqueous barrier and to evaluate the occurrence of cystoid macular edema in aphakic or pseudophakic patients with glaucoma. METHODS In this randomized, masked-observer, 6-month clinical trial, patients with primary

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ability to predict visual outcome after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in patients with pseudophakic corneal edema (PCE) or aphakic corneal edema (ACE) based on preoperative parameters available from the patient history and ocular examination. METHODS Retrospective

Eyes suffering from various conditions, such as aphakia, diabetic retinopathy, peripheral uveitis, branch vein occlusion, or retinitis pigmentosa, are predisposed to vitreous detachment. When vitreous detachment occurs, the vitreous can remain attached to the macula due to a firm vitreomacular

Color vision examinations were performed using a clinical test battery and two spectral laboratory methods. With aphakia and iris-clip lenses (ICL) there were slight acquired blue-yellow defects six months to three years after surgery, especially when the more sensitive laboratory methods were used.

BACKGROUND Cataracts pose a serious threat to the visual system in infants and children, requiring prompt surgical intervention and rehabilitation to optimize visual development. Glaucoma is a serious complication following cataract surgery in infants and can lead to loss of vision. Early diagnosis

Extended-wear contact lenses (EWCL) were fitted successfully on 61 aphakic eyes with penetrating corneal grafts. In two- to 32-months follow-up there were 26 eyes that had varying amounts of superficial neovascularization of the grafts and one Staphylococcus epidermidis corneal graft ulcer. There

Twenty-six eyes in 16 patients with aphakic peripheral corneal edema showed most of the signs described in 1969 by Brown and McLean in a syndrome they called "peripheral corneal edema after cataract extraction," consisting mainly of aphakia, marginal corneal edema, and discrete orange punctate

We assessed the outcomes of the use of anterior chamber foldable lens for unilateral aphakia correction at the University Teaching Hospital of Yaounde. In this retrospective, non-comparative, consecutive case series study, we reviewed the records of patients who underwent an operation for aphakia

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence and risk factors for the occurrence of cystoid macular edema (CME) after secondary posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) fixation. METHODS Eye Clinic Herzog Carl Theodor, Munich, Germany. METHODS Retrospective case series. METHODS Eyes with secondary PC

BACKGROUND Although there have been reports of adverse effects after use, it is unclear whether latanoprost ophthalmic solution contributes to the development of cystoid macular edema (CME). METHODS A 71-year-old man underwent lens extraction, the insertion of an intraocular lens, and vitrectomy for
