anisometropia/edema

A 71-year-old man developed cystoid macular edema (CME) following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). He had a history of CME following cataract surgery in both eyes, which had responded well to topical steroid and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drops. The cataract surgery in the left eye had resulted

In children with congenital glaucoma the functional long-term result is often disappointing even if the intraocular pressure is well controlled. The reason for this discrepancy is attributed to amblyogenic factors responsible for interfering with normal visual development. These amblyogenic factors

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical outcomes of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) in a series of patients affected by progressive endothelial cell loss leading to corneal decompensation with Descemet membrane (DM) breaks caused by obstetrical forceps trauma. METHODS Seven

BACKGROUND High amounts of myopia can frequently produce anisometropia and limit visual rehabilitation by conventional means in eyes with clear corneal grafts. This condition is frequently coupled with large amounts of astigmatism. Four-incision radial keratotomy provides a way to reduce myopia in

Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by progressive hemifacial atrophy. Ophthalmic findings are characterized by enophthalmos, strabismus, nerve palsies, anisometropia, glaucoma, and angle abnormalities. Vision loss has also been reported due to retinal changes such as venous

OBJECTIVE To report 3 patients who experienced late flap dislocation after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in eyes that had undergone prior penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) for bullous keratopathy. METHODS Retrospective chart review of 2 referral corneal and refractive surgery practices, case

OBJECTIVE To analyze the refractive outcomes and safety of three-piece silicone toric sulcus-fixated add-on intraocular lenses (IOLs) (HumanOptics/Dr.Schmidt Intraocularlinsen, Erlangen, Germany) in complex clinical cases with high astigmatism such as in cases with previous penetrating

With the possible exception of aesthetic considerations, the visual system is more involved in craniosynostosis than any other. Changes may be an inherent feature of the pathologic process or occur as a secondary complication. Several of these are potentially devastating, resulting in substantial

OBJECTIVE To compare the anatomic and visual results and complications of conventional scleral buckling versus primary vitrectomy for management of pseudophakic and aphakic retinal detachment. METHODS Prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical trial. METHODS Two hundred twenty-five eyes of 225

Purpose:To quantify aniseikonia after successful surgical repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD), and to investigate the relationship between the severity of postoperative aniseikonia and retinal microstructures as well as clinical parameters. Methods:The study included 106 eyes of 106
