Presbyopia correcting IOLs and the ocular surface disease… The good, the bad and the ugly
The last two decades were especially fruitful for the refractive surgeons and for the industry who have been showing tremendous development in both understanding and meeting patients’ desire for spectacle independence. Ever since the first trials from Dr. Kenneth Hoffer with his early 1980’s effort in producing a multifocal IOL to the latest achievements from different companies in putting trifocals and EDOF optics to the market.
Ocular surface squamous neoplasia treated with topical chemotherapy
A man in his 90s presented to clinic with a conjunctival lesion on the right eye noticed two months prior. The patient denied pain but endorsed worsening blurry vision. The patient’s past medical history was significant for skin cancer on the right ear removed 3 years ago, and a history of ocular surface lesion removal on one eye approximately 20 years ago that was negative for any neoplasia. Slit lamp photograph revealed a gelatinous and opalescent lesion suspicious for ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) and the high-resolution optical coherence tomography (HROCT) cut (arrow)
Evaluating refractive outcomes after pars plana vitrectomy and scleral fixated intraocular lens with Gore-Tex suture
It has been nearly 20 years since Girard first described the technique of placing a lens in the absence of capsular support [1]. Since that first report, numerous procedures have been described [2-9]. While the techniques have continued to evolve, little has been reported on refractive outcomes.
Ocular cystinosis – A review of disease, diagnosis, and future treatment options
Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder, characterised by the intra-lysosomal accumulation of cystine. Cystinosis results from a defect in the CTNS protein, a lysosomal transport protein for cystine. There are three subtypes of cystinosis: infantile nephropathic cystinosis, juvenile nephropathic cystinosis and ocular non-nephropathic cystinosis.
Ocular Manifestation of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
Gardner Syndrome is a phenotypic variant of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) characterized by extracolonic manifestations including pigmented ocular fundus lesions with malignant polyps in the large intestine. We present the case of a 41-year-old female with FAP, who presented with numerous congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium ocular lesions.
