Effectiveness of cataract phacoemulsification with toric intraocular lenses in addressing astigmatism after keratoplasty.

Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) in the management of post-keratoplasty astigmatism.

Setting: Public university hospital, Auckland, New Zealand.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Objective accommodation measurement of the Crystalens HD compared to monofocal intraocular lenses.

Purpose: Objective evaluation of accommodation with a bilateral accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) versus monofocal IOLs.

Methods: Patients received accommodating IOL (Crystalens HD; Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY) bilaterally after cataract surgery. These were compared to a matched group receiving monofocal IOLs.

Lens Dislocation Following YAG Laser Peripheral Iridotomy.

A rare case where laser peripheral iridotomy resulted in crystalline lens dislocation into the vitreous cavity. The patient was managed with pars plana vitrectomy, fragmatome lensectomy, anterior chamber intraocular lens and surgical iridotomy with a final best corrected visual acuity of 6/9. Multiple episodes of laser peripheral iridotomy carries a risk of complete lens dislocation.

Transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation in a patient with ocular cicatricial pemphigoid.

The authors present a case of secondary glaucoma associated with silicone oil in a patient with ocular cicatricial pemphigoid successfully managed with transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation. Six months following treatment, the patient remained satisfied and free of pain, with an intraocular pressure of 24 mm Hg without topical drops or oral acetazolamide. There was no evidence of exacerbation of ocular cicatricial pemphigoid and no adjustment was required to the patient's immunosuppressive therapy.
