Long-term safety and efficacy of repositioning dislocated plate haptic intraocular lenses in the ciliary sulcus.

Purpose: To report safety and efficacy outcomes of repositioning posterior dislocated plate haptic lenses (PHLs) in the ciliary sulcus (CS).

Design: Retrospective interventional case series.

Methods: Fifteen consecutive eyes with dislocated PHL repositioned in the CS were reviewed retrospectively.

Culture plate temperature and delayed incubation effect on bacterial recovery.

Purpose: To discover if initial culturing conditions (plate temperature and time delay to incubation) adversely influence the recovery of organisms associated with bacterial keratitis.

Methods: The rate of temperature equilibration of culture plates taken from a refrigerator and placed in an incubator and left on the desk was evaluated with a digital thermometer. A standard inoculum for each of five organisms (S.
