Dacryocystorhinostomy Failure: Association With Nasolacrimal Silicone Intubation Tập 20 Số 7 - Trang 486-489 - 1989
Kerry M. Allen, A. Jan Berlin
ABSTRACT A retrospective review of 242 consecutive dacryocystorhinostomies
(DCRs) revealed no association between failure and either age, gender, or
etiology of the nasolacrimal obstruction. However, silicone intubation of the
nasolacrimal system was associated with a statistically significant increase in
the failure rate of primary DCR. We postulate that silicone tubing by inciting
granuloma form... hiện toàn bộ
Subretinal Semiconductor Microphotodiode Array Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 234-241 - 1998

* BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To examine the function of a semiconductor
microphotodiode array (SMA) surgically implanted in the subretinal space. *
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Positive-intrinsic layer-negative (PiN) or
negative-intrinsic layer-positive (NiP) SMAs were surgically placed into the
subretinal space of rabbits through a pars plana incision and a posterior
retinotomy. The implants required no... hiện toàn bộ
Progressive Maculopathy After Discontinuation of Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium Tập 50 Số 10 - Trang 656-659 - 2019
Rachel M. Huckfeldt, Demetrios G. Vavvas
A pigmentary maculopathy associated with chronic use of the drug pentosan
polysulfate sodium (PPS) was recently described. The authors present a case of
PPS-associated maculopathy that continued to progress for 6 years after
discontinuation of this medication. [ Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina .

Phacoemulsification and Opaque Intraocular Lens Implantation for the Treatment of Intractable Diplopia Tập 31 Số 5 - Trang 429-431 - 2000
C J Sandy, Steven E. Wilson, A B Page, David G. Frazer, Frances McGinnity, J P Lee
Abstract. Intractable diplopia secondary to paralytic strabismus may be treated
with the occlusion of the affected eye. Established treatments include occlusion
with a patch, opaque spectacles or contact lenses, and perfoming upper lid
lowering procedures or tarsorrhaphies. Two cases are presented in which
intractable diplopia was resolved by performing clear lens phacoemulsification
and the inser... hiện toàn bộ
Temporary Use of a Customized, Glued-on Hard Contact Lens Before Penetrating Keratoplasty for Descemetocele or Corneal Perforation Tập 34 Số 3 - Trang 226-229 - 2003

Abstract. Descemetocele or corneal perforation makes it difficult to perform
penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). To circumvent this difficulty, a
polymethylmethacrylate hard contact lens with a diameter of 4.0 mm was
customized and applied to the cornea with tissue adhesive prior to PKP in three
patients, one with corneal perforation and two with descemetoceles. The results
showed that this modified m... hiện toàn bộ
Nocardia Endophthalmitis Following Uncomplicated Phacoemulsification and Implantation of a Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 64-65 - 2000
Paul F Cacchillo, Thomas A. Ciulla, Thomas Strayer, Michael J. Fisher, Stephen J. Massicotte
Abstract. A patient developed endophthalmitis 15 days after uncomplicated
cataract extraction. Excised infectious material sequestered in the capsular bag
revealed Nocardia on culture. She required multiple intravitreal injections of
Amikacin and dexamethasone, pars plana vitrectomies with explantation of the
lens, and chronic topical and oral sulfonamide antibiotics to control the
infection. Clin... hiện toàn bộ
