Abstract

To increase the accuracy of intraocular lens power calculation, an interface between an ultrasonic A-scanning device and a personal computer was created, allowing for an on-line interpretation of the ultrasonogram in an M-mode fashion. On the same computer display, a video recording of the movements of the transducer probe relative to the eye was inserted to obtain simultaneous information on the external alignment of the transducer probe. The precision of the experimental set-up in the measurement of intraocular distances was compared with conventional A-scanning procedures run in automatic mode. The video controlled M-mode biometry was found easy to operate and to result in reproducible axial length determination: The median value of the standard deviation was found to be below 0.04 mm as compared to a value of about 0.10 mm with conventional equipment. We concluded that video controlled M-mode biometry has great potential in the endeavour to increase the accuracy of intraocular lens calculation.

Lacrimal gland choristoma of the iris.

Intraocular lacrimal gland tissue is an extremely rare choristoma. A newborn girl was seen with a fleshy, vascular tumor arising from the peripheral iris and the anterior chamber angle. The tumor was treated with topical steroids on suspicion of a juvenile xanthogranuloma; later, it grew slightly and a secondary glaucoma developed. Histopathological examination of the resected tumor showed lacrimal gland tissue in the iris. Twelve cases of intraocular lacrimal gland tissue have been reported in the literature.

Malignant glaucoma after diode laser cyclophotocoagulation.

PURPOSE: To report a case of malignant glaucoma after diode laser cyclophotocoagulation. METHOD: Case report. RESULTS: A 45-year-old man with uncontrolled secondary glaucoma in his right eye after corneoscleral graft and cataract extraction underwent diode laser cyclophotocoagulation. The right eye was aphakic, with an intact posterior capsule. Two weeks later, the patient presented with blurred vision, edematous cornea, and flat anterior chamber. The posterior capsule was touching the endothelium. Intraocular pressure was 20 mm Hg. Repeated Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy was effective in reversing the malignant glaucoma attack, and the anterior chamber deepened. CONCLUSION: Malignant glaucoma can occur after diode laser cyclophotocoagulation.

Oversized grafts in children.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of oversized corneal grafts in the pediatric age group. DESIGN: Prospective, nonrandomized clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTION: Forty pediatric patients with unilateral or bilateral corneal opacification of congenital or acquired origin underwent corneal grafting surgery over a period of 2 years using donor corneal buttons oversized by 1 mm. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The parameters evaluated were indications for keratoplasty, graft clarity, visual acuity, keratometry, spherical equivalent, anterior chamber depth, and complications. RESULTS: Corneal ulceration was the most common cause of corneal opacification (25%), followed by trauma (20%) and sclerocornea (20%). At 1 year, clear grafts were achieved in 85% of the cohort. The average keratometry at the end of 1 year was 43.28 +/- 1.65 diopters (D) in the congenital opacity group and 43.04 +/- 2.20 D in the acquired group. The keratometric astigmatism was 3.60 +/- 2.60 D in the congenital group and 2.52 +/- 2.20 D in the acquired group. Oversized grafts provided an adequate anterior chamber depth of 2.20 +/- 0.612 mm in the congenital group and 2.36 +/- 0.302 mm in the acquired group. Visual acuity of 20/80 or better was recorded in only 30% of cases in the congenital group as opposed to 47% with acquired opacities. Nine cases had episodes of graft rejection. CONCLUSION: Oversizing donor buttons by 1 mm provides adequate anterior chamber depth and increases the morphologic success of corneal grafting in children.
