Practical anterior segment fluorescein angiography.

Abstract

Anterior segment fluorescein angiography is a useful investigative technique for diagnosing and assessing anterior segment disease. However, a number of technical problems are inherent in current methodology, such as confounding reflexes, off-axis illumination, and shallow depth of field. We developed a simple technique using readily available equipment, polarized light, and an easy-to-construct auxiliary bracket to provide an inexpensive and optimal photographic system for anterior segment fluorescein angiography.

Postmortem microscopic evaluation and clinical correlation of a pseudophakic eye with pseudoexfoliation and loss of zonular support.

We describe a pseudophakic patient with pseudoexfoliation who developed late intraocular lens (IOL) instability manifested by pseudophakodonesis, a change in refraction, and loss of glaucoma control. The patient subsequently required glaucoma surgery that was complicated by vitreous loss. Preoperative ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) failed to provide useful information regarding the zonular status. The patient died as a result of a malignancy, and the eye was donated for research. Anatomical evaluation confirmed the clinical impression of IOL placement in the bag and zonular laxity. Postmortem UBM helped explain some of the technical difficulties in examining zonules in the pseudophakic state.
