Rates of endophthalmitis before and after transition from povidone-iodine to aqueous chlorhexidine asepsis for intravitreal injection.

Objective: To assess the rate of post-intravitreal injection endophthalmitis between 2 asepsis groups: aqueous chlorhexidine 0.1% and povidone-iodine 5%.

Design: Retrospective, observational cohort study.

Surgical management of non-syndromic ectopia lentis.

Aim: To compare whether aphakic contact lenses or secondary iris-claw intraocular lenses are superior in the refractive management post-pars plana vitreolensectomy in a pedigree with an mutation causing non-syndromic ectopia lentis (NSEL) with retinal detachment (RD).

Methods: Eight affected individuals had pars plana vitreolensectomy for bilateral ectopia lentis (EL). Twelve eyes of 6 patients had secondary iris-claw intraocular lenses inserted and 4 eyes of 2 patients were managed with contact lenses.

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachments: primary reattachment rates and visual outcomes over a 4-year period.

Background And Aims: To describe rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery in a Dublin tertiary referral centre over a 4-year period and to examine factors predictive of surgical and anatomical success.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed by reviewing the surgical log and the charts of patients who underwent a primary retinal detachment repair in a specialist centre over a 4-year period between 2012 and 2015. We excluded exudative and tractional cases.
