Retropupillary Iris-fixated versus Sutured Scleral-fixated Intraocular Lenses.

To compare the anatomical and functional results and patient satisfaction following retropupillary implantation of Artisan Aphakia iris-fixated intraocular lens (rAAIF) and sutured scleral fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL). We presented a prospective double-arm non-blinded study. Forty-one eyes with acquired aphakia, no age-related macular degeneration, no previous keratoplasty, no combined procedures, no AC reaction (cells, fibrin), normal intraocular pressure, no history of endothelial corneal dystrophy in relatives or fellow eye were included.

A unique case of a recurrent extraosseous ossifying fibroma of the orbit: A diagnostic dilemma.

The aim is to present a unique clinical case of a 62-year-old male with an ossifying fibroma (OF) in the left orbit. He presented with a slow-growing mass with bone consistency which easily shifted with palpation. After removal, it was given the histopathological diagnosis of osteoma.

Detailed intraocular pressure curve by telemetric tonometry with an implanted pressure sensor before and after PreserFlo MicroShunt implantation: a case report.

Continuous control of intraocular pressure (IOP) is crucial to preventing long-term damage to the optic nerve in glaucoma. Recently, a novel telemetric IOP sensor (EYEMATE-IO™, Implandata Ophthalmic Products GmbH, Hannover, Germany) has been developed that continuously records IOP. The patient can read the IOP measurements wirelessly using a hand-held reading device.

Artificial Reproductive Technology - A Risk Factor for Retinopathy of Prematurity.

Background: Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding vasoproliferative disease in premature babies. The presentation and course of ROP are determined by a complex interaction of a series of risk factors, including artificial reproductive technology (ART).

Aim: To analyse and combine the information relating ART as an independent risk factor for retinopathy of prematurity.

Biocompatibility and antifibrotic effect of UV-cross-linked hyaluronate as a release-system for tranilast after trabeculectomy in a rabbit model--a pilot study.

Purpose: To analyze the release kinetics and the clinical and histological effects of UV-cross-linked hyaluronic acid as a release-system for the transforming growth factor β-2 antagonist tranilast with anti-phlogistic properties on intraocular pressure after trabeculectomy in an aggressive scarring animal model.

Methods: Hyaluronate acid was UV-cross linked and loaded with tranilast. The release of tranilast into a buffered salt solution was assessed spectrophotometrically.
