[Intraoperative opacification of a scleral-fixated Carlevale (Soleko®) intraocular lens].

Thermal shock can cause intraoperative opacification of a Carlevale (Soleko®) implant. This is a rare phenomenon which resolves spontaneously. It is crucial to recognise this phenomenon in order to avoid unnecessary and potentially harmful explantation decisions for the patient.

[Descemet's membrane detachment after phacoemulsification: Series of 9 cases].

Purpose: Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) is a rare but potentially serious complication of cataract surgery. Although there are no consensual guidelines regarding the diagnosis or treatment of DMD, incorrect treatment may result in irreversible corneal changes with visual sequellae. The purpose of our study is to describe the diagnosis and treatment of DMD.

Ethnicity and association with ocular, systemic manifestations and prognosis in 194 patients with sarcoid uveitis.

Objective: To determine the ophthalmological and extra-ophthalmological clinical characteristics and visual prognosis of patients with sarcoid uveitis in different ethnic groups.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed the data from patients with sarcoid uveitis seen at two departments of Ophthalmology between December 2003 and December 2017. Patients presented biopsy-proven sarcoidosis and/or presumed sarcoid uveitis based on the following criteria: compatible thoracic imaging, associated with elevated angiotensin-conversion enzyme (ACE) and/or lymphocytic alveolitis on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid analysis (> 15% lymphocytes and CD4/CD8 > 3.
