phimosis/asthenia

We describe the case of a patient who had cataract surgery with implantation of an accommodating hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) that exhibited capsulorhexis phimosis and in-the-bag IOL luxation leading to explantation of the IOL-capsular bag complex 10 years after implantation.

Three cases of severe capsular phimosis following augmented phacotrabeculectomy complicated by intense postoperative fibrinous uveitis are described. The marked inflammation was possibly related to the combined procedure itself, the excessive intraoperative manipulation to stretch the pupil, and the

We report a case of complete occlusion of capsulorrhexis opening in a patient with chronic angle closure glaucoma with fixed-dilated pupil in the following 2 weeks after an uneventful cataract surgery. The capsulorrhexis diameter was intended to make between 5.0 mm and 5.5 mm, to prevent photophobia

A 64-year-old woman with zonular weakness in the left eye and a 79-year-old man with bilateral pseudoexfoliation and intraoperative zonular dehiscence had phacoemulsification with in-the-bag implantation of a single-piece poly(methyl methacrylate) intraocular lens (IOL) and a capsular tension ring.

Eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome often exhibit insufficient mydriasis, zonular weakness and pronounced fibrotic capsular shrinkage. This may make cataract surgery as such difficult but also leads to postoperative complications, such as rhexis ovalization or phimosis (capsule contraction

Pseudoexfoliation is a ubiquitous syndrome of multifactorial origin affecting elderly people by increasing the risk of cataract and secondary glaucoma development. Despite modern techniques and technologies for cataract surgery, pseudoexfoliation syndrome represents a challenge for surgeons because

Pseudoexfoliation (PXF) syndrome is characterized by the deposition of distinctive fibrillar material in the anterior segment of the eye. It is an age-related process that is associated with open and narrow angle glaucomas and the formation of cataracts. Not only is PXF associated with the formation

OBJECTIVE To reveal the indications, clinical outcomes and complications of capsular tension ring (CTR) implantation in a series of consecutive phacoemulsification surgeries during a three-year interval. METHODS A review of all patients undergoing cataract surgery with insertion of a CTR between
