Purpose: To report medium-term visual acuity and refractive outcomes of patients with pseudoexfoliation implanted with toric or multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with pseudoexfoliation who had undergone phacoemulsification between 2016 and 2020 with at least 24 months follow-up.
Results: Mean follow-up was 44.
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of trabecular micro bypass stents (iStent Inject) on refractive outcomes with toric intraocular lens (IOL) in glaucomatous eyes.
Methods: We identified glaucomatous eyes receiving a toric IOL between October 2017 and December 2020. Eyes with iStent implantation were included in the study group and eyes undergoing isolated phacoemulsification served as controls.
Purpose: To report visual function and self-reported satisfaction of patients with glaucoma and dry age-related macular degeneration (dAMD) implanted with multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOL).
Methods: Patients with glaucoma or dAMD as well as healthy individuals implanted with MIOL were invited to participate. Explorations performed were uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA), low-contrast visual acuity (LCVA), binocular contrast sensitivity, and defocus curves.
Purpose: Bilateral acute iris depigmentation (BADI) and transillumination (BATI) syndromes have been linked with the use of antibiotics, especially fluoroquinolones. They are characterized by acute onset of pigment dispersion in the anterior chamber, depigmentation of the iris and pigment deposition in the angle and in the posterior surface of the cornea (BADI), with iris transillumination defects and atonic pupil with sphincter paralysis (BATI). The purpose of this paper is to report the development of clinical depigmentation and iris damage similar to BADI and BATI in patients who had undergone uneventful glaucoma surgery with intracameral moxifloxacin as prophylaxis for endophthalmitis.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who had undergone NPDS or Ex-PRESS since 2012 was conducted. Patients were excluded if they had undergone eye surgery other than cataract extraction, were diagnosed with ocular pathology other than glaucoma or had less than two-year follow-up.
Purpose: To evaluate changes in anterior chamber morphology with the Pentacam anterior segment analyzer and gonioscopy after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in patients with primary angle closure glaucoma and narrow angle and to compare central corneal thickness measurements performed with Pentacam and ultrasound pachymetry.
Methods: Twenty eyes of 20 patients were enrolled in this prospective interventional study. Before and after LPI, volume, angle, and central and peripheral depth of anterior chamber was quantified with Pentacam.
Venous malformations of the skin and subcutaneous tissue are compressible, blue-purple tumors that are present at birth. According to the location and symptoms caused, venous malformations can be treated with surgery, sclerotherapy, or a combination of both. Laser therapy can also be used, especially when surgery is contraindicated.
