[Age-related Cataract].

The purpose of this article is a condensed overview of contemporaneous "state of art and knowledge" of age-related cataract. As an introduction, some aspects of terminology, epidemiology, lens anatomy and pathophysiology of age-related cataract, selected for clinical interest and relevance, are outlined. Clinical aspects include signs and symptoms: Objective criteria for cortical, nuclear and posterior subcapsular cataract are described, followed by typical symptoms such as decreased visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and foggy vision, altered colour perception, decreased mesopic and scotopic vision, glare, myopization and monocular diplopia.

Posterior Uveal Effusion after Cataract Surgery.

We report a case of posterior uveal effusion (UE) with a long-term follow-up that has occurred following cataract surgery. A 64-year-old woman presented with diminished vision of the right eye (RE) 3 weeks after an uneventful phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Complete ophthalmic examination including fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), echography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed.

[Boston keratoprosthesis: 73 eyes from Germany : An overview of experiences from two centers].

Background: The Boston Keratoprosthesis (B-KPro) is a therapeutic option for corneal replacement for visual rehabilitation in eyes with poor a prognosis for penetrating keratoplasty (high-risk eyes). Since 2009, this approach has been used in the MVZ Prof. Neuhann, Munich, and since 2013 also at the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Cologne.
