Replacement of the Harmoni optic was found to be safe and efficient compared with the control IOL, as manipulation of the capsular bag to remove haptic components is not necessary with the modular design. The base component of the modular system remained stable and centred throughout the study.
Background: Incorrect lens power remains one of the most common reasons for intraocular lens explantation/exchange. We evaluated stability and effect on capsular bag opacification of a new foldable modular lens system, with a base component and an optic component in rabbit eyes.
Purpose
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a common retinopathy that is often observed until resolution. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on timing of CSCR recovery.
Methods
An IRB-approved retrospective review was conducted on patients that had been diagnosed with a new-onset, symptomatic case of CSCR. Patients were either observed only (13 untreated eyes) or treated with topical bromfenac or nepafenac (14 eyes) over an average of about a 4–5 week follow-up period.
Results
There was no statistical significance between central macular thickness (CMT) and visual acuity of treatment and control groups at the initial presentation. However, at the follow-up visit, CMT reductions in the treatment group were significantly higher than in the control group (
p
<0.006).
Conclusion
Use of topical NSAIDs in the treatment of acute CSCR leads to a faster rate of reduction in the subretinal fluid volume over a follow-up period of a few weeks.
Gross examination was performed and gross pictures were recorded using a digital camera (D40 with a 55 mm lens, Nikon Corp., Tokyo, Japan). The unstained specimen was evaluated and photographed under a light microscope
