Methods : a prospective observational study 48 myopic eyes were implanted with IPCL V2.0 (Care group Sight Solutions , India). Pharmacological mydriasis was done by tropicamide 1% and cyclopentolate 1%. The patients were divided into 2 groups, group 1 was dilated by tropicamide1 % and group 2 was dilated by cyclopentolate 1%. The Pentacam was used to evaluate the lens vault, anterior chamber depth (ACD ), anterior chamber volume (ACV), pupil size, and endothelium-IPCL (end-IPCL). Also, IOP was evaluated and compared between both groups. Results : the Pentacam study of both groups revealed significant changes regarding the vault, ACD, ACV, and pupil size with no significant difference in end-IPCL (p-value= 0.884 and 0.880) in groups 1 and 2 respectively. And no significant difference when comparing both groups with each other. Regarding IOP, there was a significant difference in both groups with no significant difference when comparing both groups with each other (p-value=.295). Conclusion : pharmacological mydriasis in myopic eyes implanted with IPCL results in changes in the vault, ACD, and ACV with no significant difference between tropicamide 1% and cyclopentolate 1%. Both medications caused IOP elevation to a similar value so there was a need to recheck IOP post dilatation preferably at 45 minutes. So mydriasis with either tropicamide 1 % or cyclopentolate 1 % was relatively safe in eyes with IPCL implantation.","PeriodicalId":267572,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology","volume":"361 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115904463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients and methods: the study included 40 eyes of 40 patients with primary pterygium who underwent surgery in a prospective comparative study. Twenty individuals had their scleras removed using the bare sclera procedure (group 1). The remaining 20 patients had their eyes removed and had conjunctival autografts (group2). All patients had a complete ophthalmic examination, including visual acuity, anterior and posterior segment examinations, refraction, and keratometry, preoperatively and postoperatively at day 7, one month, and three months, with the results analyzed. Results: preoperative corneal astigmatism was (3.521.66) on average. At three months, the mean postoperative corneal astigmatism was (1.431.12). At three months after surgery, there was a statistically significant reduction in corneal astigmatism. At 3 months after surgery, the bare sclera method and conjunctival autograft both showed a reduction in corneal astigmatism of (1.690.84) and (2.561.56), respectively. Pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft is more successful than bare sclera excision in lowering corneal astigmatism, according to the study (0.033). Conclusion: pterygium removal reduces corneal astigmatism significantly and Pterygium excision with con-junctival autograft technique resulted in better reduction of corneal astigmatism than excision with bare sclera technique. in most of the cases. Pterygium excision can significantly reduce corneal astigmatism.

However it is associated with sight threatening sequelae. These may include intraocular inflammation, secondary glaucoma, corneal edema, cystoid macular edema, and retinal detachment. Proper management is crucial to reduce the risk of these complications. Pars plana vitrectomy with intravitreal emulsification of dislocated lens fragments is indicated. Optimal timing for intervention is controversial. This study aimed to determine clinical outcomes and optical coherence tomography (OCT) changes of prompt, early and late pars plana vitrectomy with and without the use of intravitreal ultrasonic emulsification for dislocated lens fragments and/ or IOL. Methods : Thirty five eyes of 35 patients were recruited for the study. All cases underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for dislocated nuclear fragments after complicated phacoemulsification. A control group of 85 eyes with uneventful phacoemulsification were included. The clinical outcomes were visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP) and postoperative complications. OCT parameters including OCT-macula, OCT-Optic nerve head (ONH), and anterior segment OCT were measured at the 1 st , the 3 rd , the 6 th , the 9 th , and 12 th months postoperatively. Results : The results illustrated that eight eyes (22.8%) had CME detected by OCT at the 3rd months, while only 5 eyes (14.3%) at the 12 th months and only 4 eyes (11.4%) had chronic CME. Conclusion: Timing of PPV is an important factor affecting clinical and in dislocated nuclear fragments and IOL. The prompt PPV was associated with the best outcome followed by the early PPV. Cases in which, intravitreal ultrasound emulsification was indicated, had poorer prognostic outcome.","PeriodicalId":267572,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123673751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients and methods: This is a prospective observational study that included 40 eyes of 35 patients with glaucoma (open, closed angles) at Sohag Investigation Center from April 2018 to April 2021. The study population underwent 4.5×4.5 MM scans centered on the optic nerve head & 3×3 MM scans centered on the macula using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) (RTVue XR Avanti Optovue, Fremont, CA) for measuring the perpapillary vascular density, RNFL thickness, GCL thickness and macular vascular density in glaucomatous eyes before and after treatment by 1, 3 months and 6 months. Results: Mean age of the study population was 42.6 years with SD 12.29 years and range from 30 to 63 years. There was a significant reduction of IOP from (30.075 ± 8.3939 mmHg) at baseline to maximum reduction at 6 months (17.175 ± 3.257 mmHg, P = <0.001). There was a non-significant increase in thickness peripapillary RNFL & GCL from baseline to 6 months following IOP reduction (P = 0.479, 0.234 respectively).
