Subjects And Methods: We treated 91 patients (91 eyes) with IVB injections (1.25 mg/0.
Purpose: To compare the optical quality of several models of hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Methods: Modulation transfer function (MTF) measurements were performed using a model eye system on four models of hydrophobic acrylic IOLs. Models tested were the AcrySof SA60AT, MA60AC, and MA60BM (Alcon, Ft Worth, Tex), as well as the model VA-60BB (Hoya, Tokyo, Japan).
Purpose: To investigate long-term results of vitrectomy for the removal of submacular hard exudates in patients with diabetic maculopathy.
Methods: Thirteen eyes of 10 patients with diabetic maculopathy underwent vitrectomy to remove submacular hard exudates from December 1993 to March 1999. The mean preoperative logMAR visual acuity +/- SD was 1.
Background: To evaluate the outcome of dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for dacryocystitis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Cases: Four otherwise healthy patients with dacryocystitis caused by MRSA were studied (3 with chronic dacryocystitis; 1, acute dacryocystitis). Ophthalmic symptoms were epiphora with purulent discharge in 2 cases, with blepharoconjunctivitis in 1 case, and with lacrimal fistula in 1 case.
