We present the results achieved in 26 cases of trabeculectomy combined with intraocular lens implantation after extracapsular surgery in eyes with open-angle glaucoma. Phacoemulsification was performed in nine cases, planned extracapsular cataract extraction in 17. In 23 eyes, a posterior chamber lens was implanted; in three eyes an anterior chamber lens was used because of a ruptured posterior capsule. After a follow-up period ranging from four to 29 months, the postoperative results were satisfactory in all eyes treated. The patients achieved postoperative intraocular pressure of 20 mm Hg or less. In 28% of the cases, however, additional antiglaucomatous medication is required. Given proper indications and present-day surgical techniques, this combined procedure provides effective one-time treatment for cataract and glaucoma patients as well as optimal visual rehabilitation.

Department of Ophthalmology, Guangdong Eye Institute, Guangdong General Hospital, Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences. No. 106 Zhongshan Er Road, Guangzhou 510080, China.
Purpose: Although the orthokeratology effects on corneal biomechanics have been proven with clinical trials, reports of stiffness parameter change are scarce. This study investigated the short-term orthokeratology effects in pediatric myopia and compared stiffness parameter changes to those published in recent clinical investigations. This prospective study aimed to investigate corneal biomechanics changes induced by short-term overnight orthokeratology treatment, focusing on stiffness parameter at A1 and stress-strain index.

A 70-year-old man developed intermittent fever with chills, severe anorexia, generalized weakness, and mild exertional difficulty in breathing following posterior chamber intraocular lens replacement surgery for a mature white cataract in the left eye. Laboratory tests revealed persistent negative blood cultures, normocytic and normochromic anemia, neutrophilia, and elevated inflammatory markers despite multiple courses of antibiotics. All other investigations conducted to identify the cause of prolonged fever, including transthoracic echocardiography, were negative.

We present a case of Acute Angle-Closure Crisis (AACC) precipitated by primary transient psychogenic polydipsia; we believe that our case is the first of its kind to be reported. A 74-year-old male presented to the emergency department with altered mental status due to acute-onset hyponatremia. Six days after admission, the patient noticed painful loss of vision in his right eye and an ipsilateral headache lasting 10-15 minutes.
