Purpose: To evaluate the lens densitometry values in eyes with macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion that were treated with intravitreal dexamethasone implants and to compare these data with those of fellow healthy control eyes.
Setting: Ulucanlar Eye Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Design: Prospective case series.
Purpose: To report the therapeutic efficacy of an accidentally injected intralenticular sustained-release dexamethasone implant in a patient with macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion and shortly discuss the management strategy of this rare complication.
Methods: Complete ophthalmological examination and optical coherence tomography imaging were performed at each visit.
Results: The implant accidentally caused a posterior capsular tear during the procedure and was injected into the crystalline lens because of an involuntary head movement of the patient.
Purpose: To evaluate uveitis cases presenting at older ages for the first time.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data related to the 90 eyes of 68 patients who presented with a first episode of uveitis at the age of ≥60 years and were seen at the Uveitis Division of the Ulucanlar Eye Hospital from 1996 to 2013.
Results: The location of the uveitis was anterior in 51 (75%) patients.
To report a case of microtrauma-induced recurrent hyphema and secondary glaucoma associated with voluntary chronic acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) use. A 43-year-old male developed advanced glaucoma in his right eye after a two-month followup period of recurrent microhyphema, which had been induced by strong eye-rubbing. In spite of topical and systemic antiglaucoma medication, as well as topical corticosteroid and cycloplegic drugs and bed rest under hospitalization, the hyphema and glaucoma were not controlled.
