Refractive predictability and visual outcomes of an extended range of vision intraocular lens in eyes with previous myopic laser in situ keratomileusis.

Purpose: To evaluate the refractive predictability obtained with an extended range of vision intraocular lens in eyes with previous myopic laser in situ keratomileusis, confirming which intraocular lens power formula provides the most accurate calculation.

Methods: The study enrolled 71 eyes with previous successful myopic laser in situ keratomileusis surgery of 43 patients undergoing cataract surgery with implantation of the extended range of vision intraocular lens TECNIS Symfony (Johnson and Johnson Vision). Intraocular lens power was calculated using all American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons formulas, and their average value was selected for implantation.

Angle-closure glaucoma after piggyback intraocular lens implantation.

Purpose: To report a case of angle closure glaucoma after piggyback intraocular lens implantation and its treatment.

Methods: The authors present the case of a 75-year-old woman who was seen in the emergency department with angle closure glaucoma. Two years before she had undergone piggyback intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in order to correct a refractive error after cataract surgery.

Ocular inflammatory signs observed in a cohort of Spanish patients with Behçet disease and ocular inflammation.

Purpose: To study the clinical characteristics of a cohort of Spanish patients diagnosed with Behcet disease and who also presented ocular inflammation.

Methods: Thirty cases of Behçet disease were studied retrospectively. The authors studied age distribution, distribution by sex, clinical course, laterality, type of uveitis, secondary glaucoma, corneal involvement, hypopyon, iris-lens synechiae, secondary cataract, cystoid macular edema (CME), and papillitis (optic neuritis).

[Photodynamic therapy in angioid streaks].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy in choroidal neovascularization associated with angioid streaks.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study of eleven eyes (eight patients) with subfoveal, juxtafoveal or extrafoveal neovascularization, which received at least one session of photodynamic therapy. Treatment efficacy was evaluated by visual acuity (VA) testing, color photography and fluorescein angiography.
