Reverse Pupillary Block after Implantation of a Sutureless Scleral Fixation Carlevale Intraocular Lens.

Purpose: To describe the incidence, complications and management of reverse pupillary block (RPB) after implantation of Carlevale intraocular lens (IOL).

Design: Multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional study.

Participants: Of a sample of 128 patients that had undergone Carlevale IOL implantation, 19 patients were found to present RPB.

Ex-Press P50 device filtering failure due to non-visible intraluminal blockages.

Purpose: To describe Ex-Press P50 failures due to an internal blockage.

Methods: A retrospective series of 248 eyes of 219 patients with Ex-Press P50 surgery was conducted. Of these cases, 18 (7.

Angioid streaks and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: are they related?

Background: Sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has been associated with different ocular manifestations including glaucoma, floppy eye syndrome, punctate keratitis, keratoconus, and optic neuropathy. Angioid streaks are mainly associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) although they can appear in other systemic conditions affecting the elastic fibers.

Methods: This is a prospective, cross-sectional study.

Anterior iris-claw intraocular lens implantation for the management of nontraumatic ectopia lentis: long-term outcomes in a paediatric cohort.

Purpose: To report the feasibility and long-term safety of lensectomy and iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL) implantation to treat children with severe ectopia lentis in a paediatric tertiary hospital.

Methods: Prospective cohort study of 21 eyes from 12 patients with severe ectopia lentis and visual acuity <20/63. All eyes underwent 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy, lensectomy, iridectomy and Artisan IOL implantation in the anterior chamber with iris-claw enclavation via pars plana.
