Endocapsular surgery and capsular bag fixation of intraocular lenses in phacolytic glaucoma.

Performing endocapsular surgery can be more difficult in eyes with phacolytic glaucoma because the capsule is fragile and zonules are weak. In this study, I investigated the safety and efficacy of a technique for performing endocapsular surgery with and without posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in 19 eyes of 19 patients with phacolytic glaucoma. This technique involves aspiration of the fluid cortex from the capsular bag using a 26 gauge bent needle.

Post-penetrating keratoplasty glaucoma.

To study the risk factors in the development of glaucoma following penetrating keratoplasty, we retrospectively analysed 190 eyes of 185 consecutive patients who had undergone surgery during 1990. The donor button was larger by 0.2 mm and 0.

Current concepts in the diagnosis and management of developmental glaucomas.

Developmental glaucoma is a global problem and has a broad range of ocular manifestations and is sometimes associated with systemic disorders and syndromes. It poses a major diagnostic and management problem to the ophthalmologists. A proper diagnostic evaluation under general anesthesia is advisable for all children who do not cooperate for an office examination.
