Evaluation of corneal biomechanical properties using an ocular response analyser to examine aphakic and pseudophakic patients after congenital cataract surgery.

Purpose: We evaluated corneal biomechanical properties in aphakic and pseudophakic patients after congenital cataract surgery and compared the data with those of age-matched normal subjects.

Methods: We included 43 eyes of 43 aphakic or pseudophakic patients treated via congenital cataract surgery. As controls, 42 healthy age- and sex-matched subjects were enrolled.

Comparison of needle revision with subconjunctival bevacizumab and 5-fluorouracil injection of failed trabeculectomy blebs.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of bevacizumab versus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-augmented bleb needling of failed filtration blebs following trabeculectomy.

Methods: Twenty-seven eyes of 27 patients with bleb failure were included. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either 5-FU or bevacizumab.

Usher syndrome associated with a variant of Dandy-Walker malformation.

Three cases of Usher syndrome associated with a variant of Dandy-Walker malformation in three siblings from consanguineous Turkish parents are described. The siblings had retinitis pigmentosa and hearing loss. Two of the siblings also had mental retardation, which is not a constant finding in Usher syndrome.
