Biomicroscopy of the Peripheral Fundus

Metastatic Calcification to the Peripheral Fundus in Chronic Renal Failure

“…Pseudoexfoliation material or pigment granules (as seen in pigmentary dispersion syndrome) are sometimes noted to accumu late in the previtreal space [7]. Also, in flammatory cells, exsudates and blood are occasionally retained in the posterior recess of 'Gamier', as beautifully illustrated by Daicker [5].…”

Chromovitrectomy in Vitreous Loss During Cataract Surgery

“…Visualizing ILM is being studied extensively and chromovitrectomy is now one of the most important elements of vitreous surgery. In terms of the macroscopic structure of the vitreous, important work has been done using cadaveric eyes and living eyes with biomicroscopy or optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations; the results have contributed extensively to our understanding of the pathology of vitreoretinal diseases [12][13][14]. Unfortunately, observational techniques cannot be applied during surgery, thus valuable information cannot be fully used during surgery in individual cases, especially during surgical manoeuvres, though of note intraoperative OCT is starting to be used by some surgeons.…”

Imaging vitreous

“…This problem even persisted in more recent investigations. Eisner 3 described 'membranelles', Worst 4 'cisterns', Sebag and Balazs 5 'fibers', and Kishi and Shimizu 6 'pockets' in the vitreous. The observation of these so-called 'pockets' by the last-mentioned group was ultimately found to be an age-related phenomenon with little relevance to the normal macromolecular structure.…”
