Ultrastructural Integrity of Human Capsulotomies Created by a Thermal Device.

Purpose: To investigate the ultrastructural features of anterior capsulotomy performed with a thermal device, the precision pulse capsulotomy (PPC).

Design: Prospective, multicenter case series.

Participants: Consecutive patients undergoing capsulotomy with the PPC device.

A Comparative Cohort Study of Visual Outcomes in Femtosecond Laser-Assisted versus Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate visual outcomes after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (LCS) with phacoemulsification cataract surgery (PCS).

Design: Prospective, multicenter, comparative case series.

Participants: Consecutive patients undergoing femtosecond LCS or PCS with intraocular lens insertion.

Anterior capsulotomy integrity after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Objective: To compare the incidence of anterior capsular tears after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) versus phacoemulsification cataract surgery (PCS) and to assess the ultrastructural features of anterior capsulotomy specimens (FLACS and PCS) using electron microscopy.

Design: Prospective, multicenter, comparative cohort case series.

Participants: Consecutive patients undergoing FLACS or PCS.

Orbital lipomatous haemangiopericytoma: an unusual variant.

Haemangiopericytoma (HPC) of the orbit is a rare tumour occurring in all age groups and presenting with slowly progressive proptosis, ocular motility impairment and visual loss. Although most are benign tumours that are resectable at diagnosis, one-third of these tumours demonstrate malignant features and recur locally or metastasize, usually with a fatal outcome. In 1995, a morphologically unique variant, termed lipomatous haemangiopericytoma (L-HPC), was described.
