A new complication after deep sclerectomy with implant is presented as a case report. A 42-year-old male with uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma underwent nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) with an SK-GEL implant in his left eye. Two...
Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of controlled contact transscleral diode laser Cyclophotocoagulation (COCO) procedure in reducing the Intraocular Pressure (IOP) among patients with refractory glaucoma.
Methods
Thirty...
Purpose. To compare central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements obtained using the Pentacam
Scheimpflug system with those obtained using DGH ultrasound pachymetry (UP) in post–laser in situ
keratomileusis (LASIK) eyes for myopia.
Methods. In a...
associated with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEG) in the Saudi Arabian population.
Methods: The coding regions of LOXL1 were fully sequenced in 93 clinically diagnosed PEG patients and 101 healthy
controls. Both groups were Saudi Arabs. Previously...
Abstract
With the introduction of nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS), the safety profile of filtering surgery has dramatically improved owing to the extraocular nature of the procedure that addresses abnormally increased aqueous outflow...
This prospective, double blind placebo controlled study is designed to compare the effects of sublingual melatonin versus midazolam for premedication of adult patients scheduled to undergo cataract surgery under local anaesthesia. Seventy five...
Abstract
Fungal infection involving the sclera is extremely rare. We report a case of a 53-year old man who developed post-traumatic Aspergillus fungal scleritis after trauma caused by branch of a tree. Diagnosis was made after tissue biopsy and...
Abstract:
Spasm of the near reflex is characterized by intermittent attacks of convergence, accommodation and miosis. It typically affectsyoung adultsand is frequently psychogenic. The author describes the case of a 17-year-old female with spasm...
Acute angle closure glaucoma is unexpected complication following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). We are reporting a 49-years-old lady that was presented to the emergency department with acute glaucoma in both eyes soon after LASIK correction...
PURPOSE:
To describe the incidence, management, and visual outcomes of buttonholed laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flaps.
SETTING:
Private practice, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
METHODS:
This retrospective review identified eyes that developed...
PURPOSE:
To investigate the efficacy of full panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) followed by trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) in the management of eyes with neovascular glaucoma (NVG).
METHODS:
This study is based on 30 consecutive eyes of 27...
PURPOSE:
To determine the relationship between central corneal thickness (CCT) and myopia among Saudi adults.
METHODS:
In a prospective study, the CCT of 982 myopic eyes and 158 emmetropic eyes as a control group was measured using ultrasound...
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of deep sclerectomy with implant and mitomycin C in uveitic glaucoma. Design Prospective, noncomparative case study.
PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Nine patients (13 eyes) with uncontrolled uveitic glaucoma...
PURPOSE:
To compare the accuracy of central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements by the oculus pentacam scheimpflug system, with those obtained with the DGH ultrasound pachymeter (UP) and to assess the agreement between the two devices.
METHODS:
In...
PURPOSE:
To report a case of late onset posttraumatic endophthalmitis secondary to Propionibacterium acnes infection.
METHODS:
Interventional case report.
RESULTS:
A 28-year-old man developed endophthalmitis 6 months after a penetrating trauma. The...
PURPOSE:
To investigate the involvement of the chemokines CXCL10/IP-10, CXCL11/I-TAC, CXCL8/1L-8, CXCL6/GCP-2, CCL3/MIP-1alpha, and CCL18/PARC, and gelatinases A and B in uveitis.
DESIGN:
Prospective, experimental, case-control study.
METHODS:...
PURPOSE:
To report the unusual association between severe retinal periphlebitis resembling frosted branch angiitis and nonperfused central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).
METHODS:
Observational case reports.
RESULTS:
Patient 1 was a 28-year-old man...
PURPOSE:
To report a case of sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) associated with cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
METHODS:
Case report.
RESULTS:
A 50-year-old man developed SO two months after complicated cataract surgery and IOL...
PURPOSE:
Post-traumatic endophthalmitis makes up a distinct subset of intraocular infections. The purpose of the present study was to identify the causative organisms and record the visual outcome after infectious endophthalmitis in eyes with...
In this report we describe, herewith, 5 cases of ghost cell glaucoma that followed spontaneous vitreous hemorrhage complicating branch retinal vein occlusion in a phakic eye (one case), and traumatic vitreous hemorrhage (4 cases). Because...
We used transscleral Neodymium:YAG laser cyclophotocoagulation (TSYLCC) to treat 47 patients (47 eyes) with end-stage, refractory, or absolute glaucoma. The mean pretreatment intraocular pressure (IOP), 40.5 +/- 10.8 mm Hg, decreased a mean of 13...
