Case report: Bilateral eye injuries in members of one family due to a cluster munition in Ukraine.

The aim of the study was to report the effects of surgical treatment of three victims of a cluster munition in Ukraine. A 32-year-old woman and her sons-6-year-old male twins-presented in Poland after 18 days of delay in treatment. All ocular injuries were bilateral.

Visual Outcomes of Pupilloplasty in Ocular Trauma and Iatrogenic Damage.

Purpose: To report the visual outcomes of different techniques for iris pupilloplasty in eyes after traumatic and iatrogenic damage.

Methods: 70 consecutive eyes with posttraumatic (80%) and postoperative (20%) iris damage were included. According to the preoperative diagnosis, the eyes were divided into three groups: mydriasis (50%), partial iris defects (24%), and iridodialysis (26%).

Double-Needle Yamane Technique Using Flanged Haptics in Ocular Trauma-A Retrospective Survey of Visual Outcomes and Safety.

To evaluate visual outcomes and safety of the double-needle technique using flanged haptics (Yamane technique) in patients with aphakia caused by ocular trauma at a trauma referral center. Retrospective: Consecutive interventional case series of 30 patients who underwent the Yamane technique due to posttraumatic aphakia. The double-needle technique using flanged haptics was combined with anterior vitrectomy (group A) in 14 patients, and with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) (group B) due to retinal detachment, nucleus dislocation into the vitreous cavity, or intraocular lens (IOL) displacement in 16 patients.

Transscleral Fixation of Black Diaphragm Intraocular Lens in Complete Aniridia and Aphakia Due to Posttraumatic Eye Rupture: A Pilot Study.

Introduction: To assess long-term outcomes of implantation of black diaphragm intraocular lens (BD IOL) in post-traumatic aniridia and aphakia due to eye rupture.

Methods: This is a retrospective consecutive case series of 14 eyes with post-traumatic complete aniridia and aphakia treated with scleral fixation BD IOL. Measurements included ophthalmological comorbidities, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), complications, and postoperative interventions.

Visual outcomes of posterior chamber intraocular lens intrascleral fixation in the setting of postoperative and posttraumatic aphakia.

Background: Several techniques for fixation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) have been developed. We evaluate long-term functional outcomes and safety of posterior chamber IOL implantation using Hoffman scleral haptic fixation and sutureless Sharioth technique in patients with posttraumatic and postoperative aphakia.

Methods: This retrospective case-series included 42 eyes operated by one surgeon.

Wide-Field Landers Temporary Keratoprosthesis in Severe Ocular Trauma: Functional and Anatomical Results after One Year.

Purpose. To evaluate longitudinal functional and anatomical results after combined pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) using a wide-field Landers intraoperative temporary keratoprosthesis (TKP) in patients with vitreoretinal pathology and corneal opacity due to severe ocular trauma. Material and Methods.

Bilateral circumscribed posterior keratoconus: visualization by ultrasound biomicroscopy and slit-scanning topography analysis.

This paper documents a rare nonprogressive developmental disorder-bilateral circumscribed posterior keratoconus-in a 60-year-old man referred for a cataract surgery. For the first time ultrasound biomicroscopy was used to visualise the local anterior bulging of the posterior corneal surface with concomitant thinning of the stroma. The amount of localized posterior depression, corneal thickness and the refractive power of both the posterior and anterior corneal curvature were measured using slit-scanning topography analysis (Orbscan).

[Fungal infections of the cornea--diagnostics and management].

Fungal keratitis, an important cause of corneal infectious disease, is one of the most challenging types of microbial keratitis to diagnose, isolate the etiologic fungal organism and treat successfully. Aspergillus spp. are most commonly responsible for fungal keratitis worldwide.

[Ophthalmic manifestations in Lyme borreliosis].

We reviewed ophthalmic manifestations in Lyme borreliosis, concentrating on clinical and laboratory diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment options. Ocular involvement may occur in every stage of the disease. Conjunctivitis and episcleritis are the most frequent manifestations of the early stage.

Exogenous Candida endophthalmitis in a hop grower--a case report.

A case is reported of exogenous Candida endophthalmitis after ocular injury with a metal wire used for hop growing. A detailed description of treatment with vitrectomy and intravitreal amphotericin B injection is presented. On the basis of our experience, in such cases it is advisable to perform vitrectomy with amphotericin B intravitreal injection and silicone oil tamponade to prevent retinal detachment.
