Pars Plana Vitrectomy With Endoscope-Guided Sutured Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens Implantation in Children and Adults
Purpose To describe a novel method for placement of a sulcus-fixated, sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens (sf-SPC-IOL) using endoscopic guidance during pars plana vitrectomy surgery. Design A retrospective case-series by…
Comparison of the Correlations Between Optic Disc Rim Area and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Glaucoma and Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy
Purpose To test whether comparison of the correlation between optic disc rim area and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (rim-RNFL correlation) can differentiate eyes with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy…
Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography of the Sclera in Dome-Shaped Macula
Purpose To examine the posterior anatomic structure of eyes with dome-shaped macula using enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Design Retrospective observational case series. Methods Patients with dome-shaped…
Selenium and Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome
Purpose To investigate the levels of selenium (Se), an essential trace element, in aqueous humor, conjunctival specimens, and serum of patients with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome and control subjects; and to…
Genotype/Phenotype Correlation in Primary Congenital Glaucoma Patients From Different Ethnic Groups of the Israeli Population
Purpose To investigate the roles of CYP1B1 and MYOC mutations and characterize the phenotype of primary congenital glaucoma in Israeli patients from 3 different ethnic backgrounds. Design Interventional case series….
Effect of Glaucoma on Corneal Graft Survival According to Indication for Penetrating Keratoplasty
Purpose To determine whether the risk of graft failure in patients with glaucoma is dependent on the indication for penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods All patients on…
Corneal Intraepithelial Neoplasia: In Vivo Confocal Microscopic Study With Histopathologic Correlation
Purpose To ascertain in vivo confocal microscopic features of corneal/conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and correlate these with histology of the same lesions. Design Observational case series with evaluation of diagnostic…
