Long-term results of out-of-the-bag intraocular lens implantation

Abstract

Rubbing between the IOL optic and iris seems to contribute to the high flare counts in eyes with a sulcus-to-sulcus IOL fixation. A larger haptic angle may be needed to prevent contact between the iris and IOL optic in such cases.

Glued posterior chamber IOL in eyes with deficient capsular support: a retrospective analysis of 1-year post-operative outcomes

“…30 The IOL rotation and recurrent irritation of the iris are known to cause late UGH syndrome. [31][32][33] Moreover, rubbing between the IOL optic and iris seems to contribute to the high flare counts in eyes with a sulcus-to-sulcus IOL fixation. 33 In our series, consistent vault is maintained between the iris and the IOL, which we consider as one of the reasons for less post-operative uveitis and pigment dispersion.…”

The pseudophakodonesis due to the oscillations of the fluids in the anterior and posterior segment is known to cause permanent damage on the corneal endothelium.…”

Posicionamento das alças de lentes intraoculares implantadas intencionalmente no sulco ciliar através da biomicroscopia ultrassônica

“…Vasavada et al (4) , em estudo com 10 olhos submetidos à facectomia por facoemulsificação e implante de LIO acrílica de peça única no sulco ciliar, também observaram assimetria das alças em 3 (30,0%) olhos. Amino e Yamakawa (7) também relataram, após facectomia por facoemulsificação e implante de LIO de diferentes fabricantes, assimetria em 3 (15,7%) dos 19 olhos estudados, sendo que nos três casos, a segunda alça estava no corpo ciliar.…”

“…A possibilidade de localização assimé-trica entre as alças é bastante alta (6,7) . A biomicroscopia ultrassônica (UBM) permite o exame da câmara posterior e a avaliação da posição das alças da LIO, avaliando a sua proximidade com o sulco ciliar, íris e corpo ciliar (8,9) .…”

Alterations of aqueous flare and cells detected by laser flare-cell photometry in patients with Behcet’s disease

“…However, the results evaluated by slit-lamp may vary widely with different observers and comparison of readings over time is often not accurate. Recently, laser flare-cell photometry has provided a noninvasive and objective measurement for evaluation of aqueous flare and cells and is able to quantify the inflammatory reaction in the anterior chamber and function of the bloodaqueous barrier (BAB) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Patients with Behcet's disease typically show a panuveitis frequently associated with severe involvement of the anterior segment.…”
