Postoperative astigmatism induced by intraocular lens tilt.

We report a case of intraocular lens implantation with an unexpected postoperative increase in spectacle astigmatism but no change in corneal astigmatism. The Nd:YAG laser was used to release a fibrous capsular band that was tilting the posterior chamber implant and causing four diopters of astigmatism.

Suture barb giant papillary conjunctivitis.

Giant papillary conjunctivitis can be due to an allergic reaction as in soft contact lens wearers and allergic palpebral conjunctivitis, or can result from a cut exposed suture end that abrades the upper palpebral conjunctiva. The syndrome of suture barb giant papillary conjunctivitis consists of a mucoid ocular discharge with blurred vision, a foreign body sensation, upper lid edema and blepharoptosis concomitant with giant papillae of the upper palpebral conjunctiva. Removal of the offending suture(s) results in resolution of the papillae and symptoms.
