Iridoschisis associated with lens subluxation.
The etiopathogenesis of iridoschisis is unclear, although age-related degeneration and angle-closure glaucoma are its most common associations. We report the case of a 50-year-old man with lens subluxation (familial) in 1 eye and ipsilateral iridoschisis. The inferotemporal edge of the lens was directed anteriorly, pushing the iris forward; this led to iridoschisis and shallowing of the anterior chamber. The patient had bilateral angle-closure glaucoma. A subluxated lens rubbing against the iris may be a mechanical precipitating factor in the development of iridoschisis.
Unilateral frosted branch angiitis with vitreous haemorrhage.
Idiopathic retinal frosted branch angiitis is a rare bilateral condition and presents with an acute reduction of vision. Unilateral affection is rare. We report an unusual case of unilateral frosted branch angiitis where the patient developed total vitreous haemorrhage.
Complete capsular bag distension syndrome.
After conventional extracapsular cataract extraction and in-the-bag intr aocular lens (IOL) implantation 3 years previously, the partially cut su perior one-third of the anterior capsulotomy flap resealed in the eye of a 55-year-old woman. With the integrity of the capsular bag restored, it distended fully; the IOL was in the center and milky fluid accumulated inside. A neodymium:YAG laser was used to drain the milky fluid and di srupt the opacified anterior and posterior capsules, restoring vision.
