He had a history of high myopia on both eyes and underwent phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation 12 years ago. Presenting visual acuity (VA) of the right eye was hand motion (HM). Retinal detachment (RD) on inferior side, and clear lens with anterior chamber (AC) PIOL were found in the examination. Patient underwent vitrectomy, endolaser, and silicone oil in the next four days. A sudden severe pain with red-eye was found one month after surgery, intraocular pressure (IOP) was increased to 43 mmHg, the lens was white opaque with lens material seen in AC. \u0000Discussion: The diagnosis of traumatic cataract and lens-particle-induced glaucoma was made. Lens mass evacuation surgery was performed after initial antiglaucoma medication. Posterior capsule rupture was found intraoperatively with only a small amount of lens mass remaining. Visual acuity result after the second surgery is still dissatisfied with the presence of rubeosis iridis, with the possibility of retinal re-detachment was still present. \u0000Conclusion: High myopia still poses a greater risk of ocular complications. It can be corrected by refractive surgery, with expensive cost and it will not prevent potential future ocular problems. Repeated assessment before and after refractive surgery procedure is mandatory in order to prevent sight-threatening complications of high myopia which might lead to other blinding complications.","PeriodicalId":33128,"journal":{"name":"IJRETINA International Journal of Retina","volume":"147 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78587118","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}

This study’s objective is to search for anti-VEGF alternative using Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID), ketorolac tromethamine. \u0000Methods: We conducted a double blind, randomized clinical trial in DME patients using intravitreal injection of bevacizumab and ketorolac. Central macular thickness (CMT) was assessed pre-treatment and one-month post-treatment. Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) and Intraocular Pressure (IOP) were also assessed. Wilcoxon tests were performed to evaluate changes in CMT, visual acuity, and IOP. \u0000Result: We enrolled 50 treatment-naïve DME patients from March 2020 to March 2021. Twenty-five patients were allocated for each group. There is a statistically significant difference in CMT at one-month follow-up between the two groups (p:0.001) and a markedly reduced CMT between the groups (p:0.001), with the reduction higher in bevacizumab group. BCVA changes significantly in bevacizumab group (p:0.01), but there is no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p:0.07).

We reviewed all medical records of new patient diagnosed with VR diseases, from 1 January to 31 December 2019. We recorded and measured demography, history of systemic and eye disease, symptoms and onset, ophthalmic examinations, diagnostic investigations, final diagnoses, therapies, and the completion of the visit. \u0000Results: Out of 2118 total visits, we found 1191 new cases with VR diagnosis. The male to female ratio was 1.3:1. We found a group of 46-65 years is represented in 678 cases (56.9%). Type 2 diabetes mellitus was the most commonly found as a systemic disease (15.5%), followed by the combination of diabetes and hypertension (14%) and hypertension alone (12.9%). History of previous cataract surgery was found in 174 cases (14.6%). Out of 1191 patients, 553 patients (46.4%) were blind. The most common diagnosis was diabetic retinopathy (19.7%), followed by rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (10.8%), and vitreous opacity (9.9%).
