Purpose: An analysis is made of a serious late complication (opacification) of different models of hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Methods: Seven lenses were explanted from seven patients treated for cataracts with phacoemulsification and implantation of different types of hydrophilic acrylic IOLs (five SC60B-OUV from MDR, one Aquasense from OII, and one H60M Hydroview lens from Bausch & Lomb) who developed important vision impairment in the late postoperative period (1 to 3 years) due to lens opacification. The explanted lenses were subjected to exhaustive study involving photographic analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.
Purpose: To evaluate the increase in contrast sensitivity to intraocular lens TECNIS Z-9000 (Pfizer) compared with other intraocular lenses.
Method: We implanted a TECNIS Z-9000 lens in 18 patients who had another type of intraocular lens implanted in their other eye. We then tested contrast sensitivity under both mesopic and photopic conditions using the VCTS (Vision Contrast Test System) provided by Vistech Consultants Inc.
Purpose: Anterior chamber involvement is unusual in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and has never been described in the setting of Ph+ (Philadelphia chromosome-positive) ALL. Moreover, there have been no reports of this complication as a primary relapse in a patient treated with imatinib.
Design: Interventional case report.
Purpose: To report a patient who developed photic injury after cataract surgery and multifocal MF4 lens implantation
Methods: A 41-year-old caucasian woman without antecedents of interest was subjected to left catarct surgery involving phacoemulsification with capsular sac implantation of a new type of multifocal lens. A coaxial light microscope was used for surgery. The operation was filmed and anterior pole photographs were obtained.
