Secondary congenital aphakia.

Unlabelled: Abstract

Purpose: We present the clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic features in a patient with secondary congenital aphakia.

Methods: A 2-year-old patient, diagnosed with congenital rubella syndrome including sensorineural deafness, congenital heart disease, intellectual disability, microcephaly, microphthalmia, and congenital cataract, presented to our clinic for the surgical treatment of cataract.

Results: During the surgery, the absence of the lens' cortex was observed, hence, the final diagnose was of secondary congenital aphakia.

Corneal hysteresis and primary open angle glaucoma.

To investigate the variability of the corneal hysteresis in primary open angle glaucoma(POAG) patients. Out of 123 eyes, 99 carried out the inclusion criteria and were investigated further using Goldman Aplanotonometer to measure intraocular pressure(IOP), Ocular Response Analyzer(ORA) in order to determine corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor(CRF), ultrasonic pachimetry (Ocuscan) to measure central corneal thickness(CCT) and Humphrey visual field to determine mean deviation(MD), pattern standard deviation(PSD) and visual field index(VFI). The patients were divided into two groups: one group of diagnosed POAG patients and one control group of healthy individuals.

Correlations between Corneal Biomechanics and Glaucoma Severity in Patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between corneal biomechanical changes and glaucoma severity in primary open angle glaucoma patients.

Design: Correlation study.

Materials And Methods: Our study included 70 glaucomatous eyes; they were divided in groups using Glaucoma Staging System Based on Humphrey Visual Field.

[Posttraumatic hyphema with secondary glaucoma].

The authors present in detail (symptoms, signs, predisposing factors, complications, treatment) one of the most common signs seen in the eyeball contusion--traumatic hiphema. There are presented concepts for proper treatment of hiphema with secondary glaucoma and for relapsing hiphema.
