Purpose: To present own experiences in cataract surgery in myopic eyes.
Methods: 72 eyes of patients, aged 41-84, with 4-year follow-up were analysed. According to the degree of myopia, the patients were divided into 3 groups: MP up to -4.0 D (29 eyes), mp from -4.25 D to -8.0 D (27 eyes) and MP > -8.0 D (16 eyes). Extracapsular cataract extraction was performed in 55 eyes (76.4%) and intracapsular in 11 (15.2%). Posterior IOLS were implanted in 30 eyes (41.6%), anterior IOLS (including 4 secondary ones) in 26 (36.1%) and 16 eyes (22.2%) were operated on without IOLS implantation.
Results: Good visual acuity (> 0.5) was achieved in 73.6% of cases, useful visual acuity (> 0.1) in 89%. The results as well as the postoperative complications were compared with the control group of non-myopic eyes. Glaucoma was observed in 18% of myopic eyes and in 10% of non-myopic but it was not significant.
Conclusion: The safest method of cataract surgery in myopic eyes is extracapsular extraction with posterior IOL implantation. These eyes should be operated on by very experienced surgeons.

Background: Ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) has been proposed as a non-invasive, bedside method to detect raised intracranial pressure (ICP) in various clinical settings. We aimed to correlate the ONSD obtained by ultrasonography (USG) with the ONSD obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to find its measurement accuracy.
Methodology: A prospective double-blind study was carried out by performing ocular ultrasounds on 32 patients with clinical features of intracranial hypertension.

Simultaneous complete oculomotor nerve palsy in herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) is rare. We report a case of a 65-year-old lady who presented with a right drooping eyelid for 2 days associated with rashes over her right forehead. Examination showed crusted vesicular lesions on the right V1 dermatome with right complete ptosis, anisocoria, and limited right extraocular movement on all gazes except full movement on abduction.
