Abstract

A 64-year-old woman with a fibrous membrane at the lens plane after traumatic loss of all the iris and massive intraocular hemorrhage had posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation anterior to the fibrous membrane with a triangular transchamber suture to prevent possible PCIOL-corneal touch and enhance the stability of the PCIOL. After 3 years, the PCIOL remained in a good position and visual rehabilitation was satisfactory and without complications.

Hybrid dendritic-linear polyester-ethers for in situ photopolymerization.

Novel first through fourth generation hybrid dendritic-linear copolymers, composed entirely of building blocks known to be biocompatible or degradable to natural metabolites in vivo, are described. Specifically, these copolymers are composed of poly(ethylene glycol), glycerol, and succinic acid and are synthesized using a divergent approach in high yield. A photo-cross-linkable derivative of this copolymer successfully seals 4.1 mm corneal lacerations. The mechanism of tissue repair is likely one of physical entrapment where an interpenetrating network (IPN) is formed between the cross-linked copolymer and the tissue.

Epidemiology and socioeconomics.

Ophthalmologists should be responsible for a systemic collection of standardized data on the occurrence of eye injuries. Such a database is the key for designing prophylactic measures to successfully prevent ocular trauma. The USEIR model, whether reporting takes place over the Internet [www.USEIRonline.org www.WEIRonline.org (worldwide)] or on paper, has proved to be an efficient epidemiological tool. Use of this model in different countries has allowed making unbiased comparisons between regions or countries, highlighting injury patterns that may be different in different geographical areas, and pinpointing areas where prophylaxis (through legislation and public campaigns) appears most effective. Participation of all ophthalmologists who evaluate/treat patients with serious eye trauma is strongly encouraged.

The Ocular Trauma Score (OTS).

Only based on a standardized terminology of ocular trauma terms, and using a very large number of injuries treated by a wide variety of ophthalmologists, could a reliable method be developed so that the functional outcome of a serious eye injury can be predicted with reasonable certainty. The authors used the databases of the United States and Hungarian Eye Injury Registries and, with a grant from the National Center for Injury Prevention at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, designed such a system.
