Abstract

The endpoint of early refractive development was found to be mild hyperopia rather than emmetropia. Achievement and maintenance of the mild hyperopic status were largely determined by a push-back mechanism between the axial elongation and lens power loss. The effective lens position in Marfan patients was influenced by the IOL implantation procedure and varied among patients with different ocular parameters. The SRK/T formula performed best in Marfan syndrome. In long-term follow-up, one-third of ocular tuberculosis cases experienced relapse. Patients who had persistent inflammation at 6 months after the initial uveitis treatment showed a higher risk of relapse. Relapse episodes responded well to immunosuppressant. The study retrospectively analysed a multicentre dataset of patients with Posner-Schlossman syndrome. Among the 107 subjects, adult Caucasian men with mild anterior segment inflammation, preserved visual acuity but markedly increased IOP were the typical patients. Patients affected by acute primary angle closure had good vision post-treatment, with delayed presentation correlating with increased treatment needs. Phacoemulsification as …
