Binocular Visual Function in a Pre-Presbyopic Patient with Uniocular Cataract Undergoing Cataract Surgery with a Multifocal Intraocular Lens.

Background/aim: An increasing number of pre-presbyopic patients are undergoing uniocular cataract extraction. We aim to compare the binocular status of subjects with uniocular cataracts, implanted either with a multifocal or a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL).

Materials And Methods: Subjects were recruited from outpatient ophthalmology clinics and randomized to an IOL type.

DIAGNOSIS OF VORTEX VARIX USING OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY AND SCLERAL INDENTATION.

Purpose: We report a case of a vortex vein varix diagnosed with optical coherence tomography under globe compression.

Methods: To illustrate the dynamical behavior of a vortex vein varix, optical coherence tomography was performed with and without gentle globe indentation with a cotton swab.

Results: A 51-year-old woman was referred by her optician for an incidental finding of a nonpigmented choroidal mass in the right eye.

RESCUE PNEUMATIC RETINOPEXY IN PATIENTS WITH FAILED PRIMARY RETINAL DETACHMENT SURGERY.

Purpose: To describe the outcome of a series of patients who underwent pneumatic retinopexy (PR) for recurrent retinal detachment after scleral buckling and vitrectomy.

Methods: This is a retrospective review of 42 consecutive cases who underwent secondary PR after either scleral buckling (n = 22) or vitrectomy (n = 20) between 1995 and 2011. Fisher's exact and nonparametric tests were used for comparison.

Acquired dyschromatopsia in acute myelocytic leukaemia.

Background: Patients with haematological malignancy are referred to the ophthalmologist either with visual symptoms or to exclude orbital or intraocular involvement after the diagnosis has been established. This report describes a patient with acute myelocytic leukaemia (AML) whose presenting symptom was dyschromatopsia.

Methods: A 52-year-old female, previously in good health, presented with a disturbance of colour vision.

Using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography imaging to identify the presence of retinal silicone oil emulsification after silicone oil tamponade.

Purpose: To describe small hyperreflective areas using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging in eyes that have had silicone oil tamponade.

Methods: Retrospective case series of 11 eyes of 11 patients. The authors retrospectively identified patients who underwent vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade secondary to a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (nine patients), panuveitis with retinal necrosis (one patient), or recurrent full-thickness macular hole surgery (one patient) who had manifestations of silicone oil emulsion on SD-OCT imaging.

Palinopsia as the initial manifestation of non-hodgkin's lymphoma.

A 37-year old general practitioner thought to be in good health presented to the ophthalmology department with palinopsia, headaches and transient visual obscurations. A CT scan revealed a large destructive lesion centred on the occiput and stealth guided excisional biopsy of the occipital lesion showed diffuse large B cell, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) infiltration. To the best of our knowledge this is only the second report of a patient with NHL presenting with palinopsia.

Orbital cysticercosis, case report and review.

Orbital cysticercosis is secondary to an infestation by cysticercus cellulosae, the larval form of Taenia solium.Orbital cysticercosis may present with a wide spectrum of clinical findings and result in significant ocular morbidity. Although traditionally thought to be only prevalent in endemic regions with poor sanitation, immigration requires even ophthalmologists practicing in industrialised counties to be aware of this masquerading condition's presentation and treatment.

Opacification of Array SA40N silicone multifocal intraocular lens.

We report opacification of 2 multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). Patients with these IOLs may be more likely to require IOL explantation than those with monofocal IOLs.

Incidence and risk factors of Nd:YAG capsulotomy after phacoemulsification in non-diabetic and diabetic patients.

Purpose: To estimate the cumulative incidence and identify the risk factors of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) that required Nd:YAG capsulotomy in non-diabetic and diabetic patients.

Methods: Retrospective case-note review of 806 consecutive patients that underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, 327 (40.6%) of whom were diabetic.

Hydrophobic acrylic and plate-haptic silicone intraocular lens implantation in diabetic patients: pilot randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: To compare the capsular and uveal reaction after implantation of a plate-haptic silicone intraocular lens (IOL) (C11UB, Chiron) and a hydrophobic acrylic (AcrySof MA60, Alcon) IOL in diabetic patients.

Setting: Moorfields Eye Hospital and St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.

Anterior uveitis and congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles in a patient with Noonan syndrome.

We describe a patient with Noonan syndrome who presented with Human Leukocyte Antigen B27-associated recurrent acute anterior uveitis and manifestations of congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles, which has not been reported before.
