Glued intraocular lens implantation: A three-year retrospective analysis at two hospitals in Brussels, Belgium.

Purpose: To analyze the outcomes and refraction of cases receiving fibrin glue-assisted posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation (Glued IOL) from December 2014 to December 2017 at Saint-Pierre Hospital and Saint-Anne Hospital in Brussels.

Methods: Multicenter retrospective descriptive observational study of consecutive cases that underwent glued intraocular lens implantation from December 2014 to December 2017 at Saint-Pierre Hospital and Saint-Anne Hospital in Brussels. The purpose is to analyze the results preoperatively and 3months postoperatively, the postoperative intraocular pressure, the reasons that led us to use this surgical technique, the immediate and late complications and finally the astigmatism and refraction before and after the surgery.

Aquaporin-1 expression in proliferative vitreoretinopathy and in epiretinal membranes.

Purpose: Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is involved in cell migration and proliferation; therefore, the purpose of the study was to investigate its expression in proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and epiretinal membranes (ERM).

Methods: 19 membranes from PVR and ERM were collected following eye surgery. AQP1 mRNA and protein expressions were determined by RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence in the membranes from PVR and ERM.

Vitrectomy in uveitis patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the causes and success rates of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in uveitis patients.

Methods: Retrospective study of the charts of 26 uveitis patients (28 eyes) who underwent PPV between the years 2008 and 2011. We examined surgical indications and success rates, based on visual outcomes, complications and diagnosis in case of vitreous biopsy.

Herpes zoster ophthalmicus complicated by complete ophthalmoplegia and signs of pilocarpine hypersensitivity. A case report and literature review.

We report a case of zona ophthalmica complicated with a complete ophthalmoplegia. In the literature only 19 cases have been reported the last 30 years, with a variety of possible pathophysiological mechanisms. Our patient's mydriasis reacted to diluted pilocarpine 0.
