Background: The purpose of this study was to present a modified surgical technique involving pars plana vitrectomy with large chorioretinectomy for eyes with rupture of the globe due to severe ocular blunt trauma.
Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients with rupture of the globe due to blunt trauma who were treated at the King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia). All patients underwent 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with large chorioretinectomies involving all the tissue around the posterior scleral wounds.
Purpose: (1) To quantify the effect of contact lens wear on straylight in rigid and soft contact lens wearers and (2) to relate findings to morphological changes and subjective complaints.
Methods: Straylight was measured using the Oculus C-Quant during contact lens wear and after contact lens removal in 30 rigid contact lens wearers and 30 soft contact lens wearers. Semi-quantitative (0-4) slit-lamp grading of anterior segment changes using Efron grading scales and contact lens characteristics were performed.
Objectives: To quantify the effect of the capsulorrhexis on straylight and to determine optimal capsulorrhexis size.
Methods: Fifty-six pseudophakic eyes with intact capsulorrhexis were included in the study. Straylight was measured with a straylight meter before and after pupil dilation.
