Purpose: To report on the implantation of a XEN 45 gel implant in a patient with glaucoma associated with congenital aniridia.
Observations: A 60-year old man with familial congenital aniridia and glaucoma presented with intraocular pressure of 30 mmHg in his right eye despite maximal topical treatment with four medications. Implantation of a XEN gel stent was performed without complications after subconjunctival injection of mitomycin-C (0.
Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to investigate if a fast-track outpatient clinic could lower the rates of permanent visual impairment in patients with Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) and reduce hospital stays.
- The research included 75 GCA patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2014; results showed that only 1 out of 43 patients in the fast-track clinic suffered visual impairment compared to 6 out of 32 in traditional care, showing an 88% lower risk.
- Additionally, patients in the fast-track clinic spent significantly fewer days in the hospital (0.6 days) compared to those evaluated conventionally (3.6 days), indicating a more effective and cost-efficient approach to GCA management.
Purpose: To evaluate the changes in vaulting of myopic and toric Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICLs) in different lighting conditions.
Methods: Thirty-seven eyes of 37 patients implanted with a myopic ICL and 26 eyes of 26 patients implanted with a toric ICL were examined using Visante optical coherence tomography (OCT) in photopic (257 lux) and mesopic (2 lux) conditions. Pupil diameter and distance changes between the ICL and adjacent intraocular structures were measured.
Purpose: To study changes in vaulting of myopic and toric Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICLs) version 4 during accommodation with Visante optical coherence tomography (OCT), and analyze the relationship between vaulting and anterior subcapsular opacification.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Participants: Seventy-seven eyes of 77 myopic patients were examined after implantation with an ICL (48 myopic, 29 toric).
