IRIDEX MicroPulse P3: innovative cyclophotocoagulation.

To present the new IRIDEX MicroPulse P3 (MP3) technology in patients with refractory glaucoma and our preliminary results at 1 week and 1 month postoperatively. IRIDEX MP3 laser cyclophotocoagulation was performed in 7 eyes of 7 patients under retrobulbar anaesthesia with lidocaine 2% in the operating room. Each eye received two treatments of 80-90s over the superior and inferior hemisphere, avoiding the temporal- and nasal-most clock hours.

[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.

[Cataract surgery in biphakia patients].

Introduction: Although the IOL implantation was used initially just for cataract surgery, in the last period IOLs are used in treating myopia more than -12D and hyperopia more than +4D, in phakic eyes, when the indications of excimer laser are limited.

Observation: We present the case of a 40 years old patient with the diagnosis: biphakia, complicated cataract and high myopia in both eyes. VA-RE = 2/50 cc, VA-LE = 3/50 cc, IOP-RE:15 mmHg, IOP-LE:16 mmHg.

[Phacoemulsification in white cataract].

Purpose: The study presents the technical difficulties of the capsulorhexis and phacoemulsification in the white, intumescent cataract and the incidences occurred during the foldable IOL implantation with the Monarch II injector.

Methods: The clinical study comprises a number of 70 eyes with white intumescent cataract operated during 15 January-15 December 2003 by the same surgeon. The surgical intervention consisted of lens extraction by phacoemulsification with clear corneal incision, using the Monarch II injector for the foldable IOL implantation.

[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.
