Penetrating corneal wound with traumatic cataract and intraocular foreign body-case report.

Open globe injuries complicated with the presence of an intraocular foreign body mostly affect young males and represent a vision threatening condition. We presented the case of a 48-year-old male who presented to our emergency service due to ocular pain and blurred vision in his right eye. A metallic foreign body situated between 1 and 12 o'clock, near the corneoscleral limbus, that perforated the cornea, the iris, the anterior capsule of the lens and the lens, was detected at the slit-lamp examination.

[Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in myopic eye].

Unlabelled: The purpose of this study is to estimate the technical difficulties and the intraoperative complications which appear in patients with high myopia who had been operated on cataract through phacoemulsification technique; to establish the IOL refractive power and to estimate the functional results at 45 days postoperative.

Material And Method: We performed a study on 44 eyes with high myopia and cataract operated in the Emergency Military Hospital from Cluj-Napoca during 15th of January -15th of June 2003. We analyzed the patients' age, the technical difficulties and intraoperative complications, the IOLs choosing and the functional results.

[Phacoemulsification--personal experience on my first 507 cases].

Purpose: The evaluation of the intra and post operative early complications of the phacoemulsification with posterior chamber artificial lens implant on my first 507 cases.

Methods: A retrospective study on 507 eyes operated by cataract through phacoemulsification technique at the Emergency Military Hospital from Cluj-Napoca during the 1st of May-30th of June 2002. The surgeries were performed by the same surgeon through a corneal or a scleral incision using rigid and foldable artificial lenses.
