Postoperative refractive error following cataract surgery after the first attack of acute primary angle closure.

To investigate differences between preoperative target refraction and postoperative spherical equivalent refraction in eyes with the first attack of acute angle closure glaucoma before and after surgery. We retrospectively examined eyes of 36 patients who suffered the first attack of acute primary angle closure after undergoing cataract extraction and intraocular lens implant. We measured keratometric values (K1, K2) due to medical therapy for high ocular tension and the mean time interval until surgery.

Cataract surgery for tilted lens in peters' anomaly type 2.

Background: Cases of cataract surgery without penetrating keratoplasty in patients with Peters' anomaly are very rare. We report a case of Peters' anomaly type 2 with tilted lens due to synechia between the lens and iris that was treated with cataract surgery without penetrating keratoplasty.

Case Presentation: A 16-year-old girl had Peters' anomaly in both eyes.

Reduction in choroidal thickness of macular area in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy patients after intravitreal ranibizumab therapy.

Background: To evaluate changes in retinal and choroidal thickness changes after three intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) injections for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) using enhanced depth-imaging-optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).

Methods: In this retrospective, observational case series, EDI-OCT was used to measure changes in choroidal thickness at nine points in a lattice shape in the macula before and after introductory-stage IVR.

Results: Choroidal thickness was decreased at all nine points in the lattice shape, but was significantly decreased only at the fovea.

Preoperative factors associated with improvement in visual acuity after globe rupture treatment.

Objective: Globe rupture is a serious condition. Despite advancements in vitrectomy, the postoperative prognosis for visual acuity remains poor in many cases. We conducted multiple regression analysis to identify preoperative factors associated with postoperative visual acuity.
