Curved single-plane clear corneal incision made under anterior chamber collapse by aqueous humor aspiration prevents leakage after cataract surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate the self-sealing on curved single-plane clear corneal incisions (CCIs) after cataract surgery. The collapse of the anterior chamber was made by aspirating the aqueous humor in order to make curved single-plane CCI.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Asai Hospital in Japan.

Ocular parameters before and after steep Trendelenburg positioning for robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Purpose: Intraocular pressure (IOP) increases in patients in a steep Trendelenburg position during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). We hypothesized that a steep Trendelenburg position during RALP, an unusual systemic condition involving a transiently increased IOP, may induce ocular pathology that can be detected by detailed evaluations long after the surgery. This study aims to explore ocular structural and functional parameters in patients before and in the long term after the surgery.

Influence of upper and temporal transconjunctival sclerocorneal incision on marginal reflex distance after cataract surgery.

Background: Ptosis incidence following cataract surgery is reduced with a recently developed phacoemulsification technique using a small incision. However, it remains uncertain whether an upper transconjunctival sclerocorneal incision can cause minor blepharoptosis. In the present prospective study, patients underwent cataract surgery with either an upper or temporal 2.

Early resolution of subretinal fluid without high-dose corticosteroids in a pregnant patient with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease: a case report.

Background: At present, there is no standard of treatment using systemic high-dose corticosteroids in cases of pregnant women with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. Although high-dose systemic corticosteroid treatment is often used for VKH disease during pregnancy, it also poses a risk to the fetus.

Findings: A 29-year-old woman in the 34th week of pregnancy experienced bilateral metamorphopsia.

Correlation between optic nerve head structural parameters and glaucomatous visual field indices.

We examined associations between optic nerve head structural parameters and glaucomatous visual field indices. The study population included patients with glaucomatous optic neuropathy who were evaluated at Aichi Medical University, Nagakute, Aichi, Japan, from October 2010 to January 2011. A total of 57 eyes from 33 patients were assessed.

Choroidal and optic disc metastases from breast cancer and their response to combination pharmacotherapy with tamoxifen, cyclophosphamide hydrate, letrozole, and bevacizumab.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report a patient with choroidal and optic disc metastases from breast cancer and the response to combination pharmacotherapy with tamoxifen, cyclophosphamide hydrate, letrozole, and bevacizumab.

Methods: We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with a medical history of breast cancer treated with mastectomy at 16 years earlier followed by 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine and tamoxifen for 12 years, who has been followed by annual check-up, with no additional findings. Two weeks prior to her first visit to our hospital, she noted blurred and abnormal color vision and field loss in her right eye.
