Unilateral Malignant Glaucoma Postbilateral Implantable Collamer Lens: Effect of Miotics.

An implantable collamer lens (ICL) V4c model (STAAR Surgical, Monrovia, CA, USA) was placed in the eye of a 31-year-old male patient with high myopia followed by the development of malignant glaucoma. After failing medical treatment for 5 days, a noncomplicated pars plana vitrectomy and anterior hyaloidectomy succeeded in breaking the aqueous misdirection. Sixteen months later, intraoperative miotics were purposefully withheld from the ICL surgery in the fellow eye and malignant glaucoma did not develop.

Central island formation after cataract surgery in a laser in situ keratomileusis eye: New etiology.

We report a case of central corneal steepness formation after cataract surgery in a post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) eye. A 51-year-old woman with traumatic cataract and a history of myopic LASIK surgery had uneventful phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Postoperatively, the corneal topography difference map showed a central island formation of 2.

Modified phototherapeutic keratectomy technique for the treatment of elevated corneal opacities.

A simple modification to the existing phototherapeutic keratectomy techniques to treat elevated corneal opacities is described for a case of severe bilateral macular dystrophy. After epithelial removal, a single drop of carboxymethylcellulose sodium 1.0% was applied centrally on the cornea.

Corneal light shield as a delivery system for standardized application of mitomycin C in excimer surface ablation.

Purpose: To develop a simple, reproducible method of applying intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC) in excimer surface ablation surgery.

Methods: A two-part protocol was developed to study several properties of corneal light shields. Part A tested the amount of MMC (0.

Recalcitrant post-LASIK Mycobacterium chelonae keratitis eradicated after the use of fourth-generation fluoroquinolone.

Objective: To report a patient with Mycobacterium chelonae keratitis after LASIK and discuss therapeutic measures.

Design: Interventional case report and literature review.

Intervention: A healthy, 25-year-old man presented 6 weeks after LASIK with infectious keratitis in the left eye.

LASIK for high myopic astigmatism resulting from perforating ocular injury.

Purpose: To present a case of successful treatment of high myopic astigmatism after a perforating injury with significant corneal laceration and pupil ectopia using excimer LASIK.

Methods: A 30-year-old man presented for treatment of high myopic astigmatism in his right eye resulting from perforating ocular trauma, which occurred 8 years prior to presentation. The corneoscleral wound repair was performed with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.
