Cytomegalovirus endotheliitis with recurrent anterior uveitis and secondary glaucoma misdiagnosed as HLA-B27 uveitis.

A 61-year-old male patient presented with decreased vision and recurrent redness in his right eye since the past 4 years. He had been diagnosed elsewhere as HLA-B27 positive anterior uveitis and was on oral methotrexate and topical corticosteroids for recurrent disease. He was on maximal medical therapy for glaucoma.

Recurrent uveitis and pigment dispersion in an eye with in-the-bag acrylic foldable intraocular lens.

Phacoemulsification with in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the standard procedure for cataract surgery. Pigment dispersion and uveitis can result when an IOL is placed in the sulcus. We report a case of a 64-year-old woman, with pigmentary glaucoma, who developed recurrent uveitis following uneventful cataract surgery and an in-the-bag hydrophobic acrylic IOL implant.

Ocular dirofilariasis in Dubai, UAE.

A rare occurrence of ocular subconjunctival dirofilariasis in a 53-year-old healthy Indian male working in Dubai, UAE presenting with an acute red eye is reported. Surgical excision under topical anesthesia was carried out uneventfully in the outpatient clinic. The live worm removed from the subconjunctival space was identified as Dirofilaria repens on the basis of microscopic examination and histopathology.

Long-term surgical and visual outcomes in Indian children with developmental glaucoma operated on within 6 months of birth.

Purpose: To determine the long-term surgical and visual outcomes in Indian children with developmental glaucoma operated within 6 months of birth.

Design: Retrospective consecutive, noncomparative case series.

Participants: All children with developmental glaucoma who underwent surgery within 6 months of birth over a 12-year period were included.

Safety and efficacy of simultaneous bilateral primary combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy for developmental glaucoma.

Purpose: To establish the safety and efficacy of simultaneous bilateral primary combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy for developmental glaucoma.

Methods: We studied 109 consecutive patients who underwent planned simultaneous bilateral primary combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy for developmental glaucoma by a single surgeon from January 1990 through December 1999. The main outcome measures were postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal clarity and diameter, visual acuity, bleb characteristics, time of surgical failure and complications.
