Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the characteristics of four eyes that were removed due to late-onset endophthalmitis following glaucoma surgery.
  • All cases occurred 1 to 5 years post-trabeculectomy, with two receiving additional treatment of mitomycin-C, and streptococci bacteria were found in all eyes.
  • Common issues noted included inflammation in various parts of the eye, and one case showed granulomatous uveitis, indicating a serious prognosis linked to these conditions.

Calcific phacolysis.

Ophthalmology

March 1993

Department of Pathology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27710.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines three patients who experienced long-term blindness in one eye due to trauma, followed by symptoms like pain and redness after several years.
  • - All three patients demonstrated the presence of calcified lens fragments in their eyes, with varying features such as elevated intraocular pressure and immune responses in one case.
  • - The authors introduce a new medical condition called calcific phacolysis, which refers to the unusual dispersal of these calcified lens particles within the eye after the lens capsule has been damaged.

Lens-induced glaucoma.

Doc Ophthalmol

February 1993

Department of Ophthalmology, Lenox Hill Hospital, New York.

Article Synopsis
  • - The crystalline lens can cause various types of glaucoma, each having unique characteristics and mechanisms of how they develop.
  • - These glaucoma types include issues like lens dislocation, swelling due to cataracts, and conditions like pupillary block and aqueous misdirection, among others.
  • - Effective treatment for these lens-related glaucomas often involves changing the anatomical structure around the lens or even removing the lens itself, and the text will cover how to diagnose and treat these conditions.

Phacoanaphylaxis (lens-induced uveitis) is a potentially curable ocular inflammation secondary to lens truma. Recently we have seen three clinically undiagnosed enucleation specimens in our eye pathology laboratory with this entity. Our observations add an argument to the recent concept that early lens removal in cases of traumatic cataract with lens capsule rupture would ultimately lead to better visual results.
