Anatomical and functional outcomes of transcanalicular diode laser assisted dacryocystorhinostomy as a primary procedure.

Introduction: The goal of this study was to assess the efficacy of transcanalicular diode laser assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (TDL-DCR) for the treatment of primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

Material And Methods: This was a single center retrospective study. We included all patients who underwent TDL-DCR between July 2015 and October 2017 for chronic epiphora or chronic dacryocystitis.

A Case of Velocardiofacial Syndrome With Bilateral Inferior Punctum and Canalicular Agenesis.

A 16-year-old girl diagnosed with velocardiofacial syndrome complained of occasional bilateral ocular discharge. Examination revealed an agenesia of the inferior puncti and canaliculi, while the irrigation through the superior puncta was patent on both sides. Dacryocystorhinostomy with insertion of Lester Jones tubes is not considered for the time being because of the absence of epiphora.

Iris-claw intraocular lens for aphakia: Can location influence the final outcomes?

Purpose: To describe the demographic data, evaluate the long-term refractive and anatomical outcomes, and report the incidence of complications of anterior iris (prepupillary) and posterior iris (retropupillary) fixation of the Artisan aphakia iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL).

Setting: Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

Design: Retrospective case series.
