Endoscopic endonasal retrieval of a nasolacrimal duct stone via the valve of Hasner in the inferior meatus.

A 37 year old man presented with a 6 month history of a right epiphora with associated mucus discharge. Lacrimal irrigation demonstrated right unilateral partial nasolacrimal duct obstruction, confirmed with lacrimal scintigraphy. Nasal endoscopy showed a pale elevation in the right inferior meatus.

Fellow-eye comparison of posterior capsule opacification rates after implantation of 1CU accommodating and AcrySof MA30 monofocal intraocular lenses.

Purpose: To measure posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy rates between the AcrySof MA30 intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon) and the 1CU IOL (HumanOptics) in a fellow-eye comparison.

Setting: Ophthalmology Department, St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.

Hydrophobic acrylic and plate-haptic silicone intraocular lens implantation in diabetic patients: pilot randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: To compare the capsular and uveal reaction after implantation of a plate-haptic silicone intraocular lens (IOL) (C11UB, Chiron) and a hydrophobic acrylic (AcrySof MA60, Alcon) IOL in diabetic patients.

Setting: Moorfields Eye Hospital and St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.

Objective measurement of intraocular lens movement and dioptric change with a focus shift accommodating intraocular lens.

Purpose: To objectively measure the shift and refractive change of the 1CU accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) (HumanOptics) and compare them to that of a monofocal AcrySof MA30 IOL (Alcon Laboratories) in the fellow eye.

Setting: Ophthalmology Department, St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.

Spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage secondary to thrombolysis for the treatment of myocardial infarction.

Suprachoroidal haemorrhage occurs most commonly as an intraoperative or a postoperative complication of ocular surgery. Spontaneous suprachoroidal haemorrhage is rare. Herein a case is described of spontaneous suprachoroidal haemorrhage in a patient who received recombinant tissue plasminogen activator for the treatment of a myocardial infarction.

Fellow eye comparison between the 1CU accommodative intraocular lens and the Acrysof MA30 monofocal intraocular lens.

Purpose: To examine the near visual clinical performance of an accommodative intraocular lens (IOL) when compared with a standard monofocal IOL in a fellow eye comparison.

Design: Prospective, randomized fellow eye comparison.

Methods: Thirty patients (60 eyes) with bilateral cataracts but otherwise normal eyes were recruited from a single university hospital cataract waiting list.

Comparison of posterior capsule opacification rates between hydrophilic and hydrophobic single-piece acrylic intraocular lenses.

Purpose: To determine the effect of intraocular lens (IOL) material on the development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) at 1 year.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.

Correlation between the measurement of posterior capsule opacification severity and visual function testing.

Purpose: To develop software to measure the severity of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) using analysis of retroillumination images and to correlate the results with clinical evaluation of PCO severity and visual function.

Setting: Department of Physics, King's College, and Department of Ophthalmology, St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.

Factors that influence the development of posterior capsule opacification with a polyacrylic intraocular lens.

Purpose: To identify factors that contribute to posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after implantation of a 5.5 mm polyacrylic (IOL).

Design: A retrospective analysis of a cohort of sequential images taken from the PCO database at St.

POCOman: new system for quantifying posterior capsule opacification.

Purpose: To describe a new method of measuring posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and intraocular lens (IOL) rotation and report the validation of the method.

Setting: Ophthalmology Department, St. Thomas' Hospital, and Medical Imaging, Department of Physics, King's College, London, United Kingdom.

Effect of pupil dilation on the accuracy of the IOLMaster.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of pupil dilation on the accuracy of the IOLMaster (Zeiss) in performing biometry and to assess test-retest variability without pupil dilation.

Setting: Ophthalmic outpatient department of a district general hospital.

Methods: This prospective study comprised consecutive patients presenting to a cataract clinic (study group) who had biometry performed with the IOLMaster before and after pupil dilation.
