Injections of air into the anterior chamber were applied by the authors in choroidal detachment and flat anterior chamber after 22 cataract extractions and 4 fistulizing operations in glaucoma (together 26 cases) after an ineffective conservative treatment. The deepening of the anterior chamber and reapposition of the choroid was achieved in all the cases. Special attention in applying this method was called to the deepening of the anterior chamber and to supply a considerable amount of air into the eye, so as to raise the intraocular pressure up to the normal values or even more. The air remained in the eye even for 7 days. In 12 cases there was a need to inject the air a second time because of an insufficient reapposition of the choroid after the resorption of the air finished or because of the recurrence of the detachment.

Ocular biometric parameters in Chinese preschool children and physiological axial length growth prediction using machine learning algorithms: a retrospective cross-sectional study.
BMJ Open
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology & Clinical Centre of Optometry, Peking University People's Hospital, Beijing, China.
Objectives: To examine the ocular biometric parameters and predict the annual growth rate of the physiological axial length (AL) in Chinese preschool children aged 4-6 years old.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 1090 kindergarten students (1090 right eyes) between the ages of 4 and 6 years from Pinggu and Chaoyang District, Beijing. Dioptre values were ascertained following cycloplegic autorefraction.

Background: This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of cases that is related to the response rate of adalimumab (ADA) treatment.
Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was conducted for pediatric patients with non-infectious uveitis undergoing ADA treatment for a minimum of six months. The patients were stratified into two groups: those with anterior segment inflammation (ASI+) and those without anterior segment inflammation (ASI-).
A System for Producing Controlled Elevation of Intraocular Pressure in Awake Brown Norway Rats.
Exp Eye Res

Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health & Science University.
Animal models that help us understand how elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) causes axonal injury will lead to new glaucoma therapies. Because reliable measurements are difficult to obtain in chronic models, we developed the controlled elevation of IOP (CEI) approach. Here, a cannula connected to an elevated balanced salt solution (BSS) reservoir is inserted into the anterior chamber of anesthetized Brown Norway rats.

Purpose: To describe effects of sustained-release steroid delivery devices on intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with glaucoma drainage devices (GDD).
Methods: Retrospective case series of eyes with steroid implants (dexamethasone or fluocinolone acetonide) and prior GDD (Ahmed, Baerveldt) without uveitis. Outcomes included IOP, IOP rise, central foveal thickness (CFT), and IOP medications.
"Knife cut technique". A new way for intra ocular lens (IOL) explantation.
Retina
January 2025
Department of ophthalmology, Charles Nicolle Hospital, Boulevard Gambetta, Rouen, France.
Purpose: We report a novel technique which enables to cut any kind of foldable lens and extract it using capsulorhexis forceps and a 1.2 mm single-use slit angled knife.
Methods: The technique consists in using the capsulorhexis forceps to mantain and stabilize the IOL in the anterior chamber, and while one hand holds the IOL in that way, the second hand introduces a 1.
