Safety and efficacy of the Yamane technique for intraocular three-piece lens implantation in Egyptian patients diagnosed with Marfan syndrome: a retrospective study.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the Yamane technique (flanged intrascleral haptic fixation with double-needle technique /FIHFT) for three-piece intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in Egyptian patients diagnosed with Marfan syndrome (MFS) presented with subluxated lenses (ectopia lentis, EL).

Methods: This was a retrospective evaluation of thirty-three patients who were diagnosed with MFS and had subluxated lenses in a total of forty eyes. Seven of these patients had bilateral subluxation.

Evaluation of Visual Outcomes, Postoperative Angle Alpha, and Angle Kappa After Implantation of Isofocal Intraocular Lenses.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of angles kappa and alpha on the visual outcomes after implantation of isofocal intraocular lens (IOL) during cataract surgery.

Methods: This prospective study involved 66 eyes undergoing cataract surgery with Isopure IOLs. Exclusion criteria comprised irregular corneal astigmatism exceeding 1.

Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery in Soft and Hard Nuclear Cataracts: A Comparison of Effective Phacoemulsification Time.

Purpose: To compare effective phacoemulsification time (EFX) in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) versus traditional quick chop phacoemulsification (QCP) in senile nuclear cataracts with different densities focusing on soft and hard ones.

Patients And Methods: A prospective non-randomized comparative study was carried out in Al Watany Eye Hospital and Ain Shams University Hospital, Cairo, Egypt; 250 eyes with senile nuclear cataract (NC) were included and classified into two main groups, FLACS and QCP groups. Each of them was stratified according to nuclear density into three subgroups, subgroups I (Soft NC), II (Medium NC), and III (Hard NC).

MicroPulse® transscleral laser therapy in the management of glaucoma patients.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of MicroPulse® transscleral laser therapy (TLT) in the management of glaucoma patients.

Methods: A prospective, interventional, non-comparative case series was conducted in the department of ophthalmology, Ain Shams University Hospital on 61 eyes of 46 patients with various glaucoma types and of severity, ranging from mild to severe. In addition to best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and the number of glaucoma medications were recorded before and after treatment, along with the postoperative need for systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAI), success rates, number of treatment sessions and postoperative complications.

Ultrasound-Energy Consumption During Phases of Phacoemulsification of Nuclear Cataracts Using Femtosecond Laser: A Comparative Study.

Purpose: To compare ultrasound (US) energy utilized in different phases of nuclear cataract removal in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) with conventional phacoemulsification surgery (CPS) in relation to different nuclear densities.

Methods: A prospective nonrandomized comparative study was conducted at Ain Shams University and Al Watany Eye Hospital, Cairo, Egypt on 250 eyes with senile nuclear cataracts (NCs) of different nuclear densities (1-6). Eyes were divided into two groups - FLACS and CPS - and each group was subdivided according to cataract density into subgroups A (NC 1-2), B (NC 3-4) and C (NC 5-6).

Perception of saudi college students on academic advising: A cross-sectional survey study.

Background: Academic advising is a central and essential element in the process of education that can help students unravel their academic problems and succeed in their academic and professional careersOBJECTIVES:To seek students' perception about academic advising and solicit suggestions to improve academic advising in our institute. The specific objectives of the study were to assess the students' satisfaction regarding academic advising guidance and to ascertain whether students' perceptions of academic advising differ by their demographic characteristics and academic years.

Methods: A forty-item questionnaire was hand delivered to all the undergraduate (UG) students of College of Dentistry, Jouf University, Sakaka, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Simultaneous corneal crosslinking and surface ablation combined with phakic intraocular lens implantation for managing keratoconus.

To assess the efficacy and stability of simultaneous topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and crosslinking (Athens protocol) followed by phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for managing keratoconus. Ain-Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. Prospective non-randomized study.

Comparative analysis of corneal morphological changes after transversal and torsional phacoemulsification through 2.2 mm corneal incision.

Purpose: This paper compares and evaluates the corneal morphological changes occurring after cataract surgery through a 2.2 mm corneal incision. We use two platforms for comparison and evaluation, transversal and torsional phacoemulsification.

A surgical option for antipodean strabismus: four horizontal muscle resection.

The authors report a case of symptomatic antipodean strabismus caused by a combination of mechanical restriction of eye movement secondary to thyroid eye disease, longstanding intermittent divergence, and convergence weakness, which was alleviated by simultaneous resection of all four horizontal recti muscles.

Ocular aberrations and visual performance with an aspheric single-piece intraocular lens: contralateral comparative study.

Purpose: To study spherical aberration, coma, and trefoil after implantation of a single-piece aspheric Tecnis intraocular lens (IOL) in cataract patients and the influence on photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity.

Setting: Ophthalmology Department, Ain-Shams University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt.

Methods: In this randomized prospective contralateral comparative study, patients had bilateral senile cataract.

Self-inserted intraorbital foreign bodies.

We report an unusual case of self-mutilation by insertion of multiple foreign bodies in the orbit. A 26-year-old female psychiatric patient with a severe emotionally unstable personality disorder was reviewed in the ophthalmology clinic. She had allegedly inserted a metal staple into her right eye 2 days previously and was complaining of pain around the right eye.
