Abstract
The dopamine-like agent ibopamine caused black deposits on the bandage lens and on the front plate of the Boston KPro that resulted in reduced visual acuity. Change to a daily disposable contact lens and regular cleaning of the KPro front plate with diluted baby shampoo eliminated this problem. CONC...

Abstract
Ninety-seven eyes of 93 patients were included. Intraocular pressure spikes >22 in the first month occurred in 73% of eyes with or suspect for glaucoma versus 46% of eyes without (P = 0.017); 76% of eyes with a gas fill versus 44% of eyes with a fluid fill (P = 0.0036); and 21% of eyes started on IO...

Abstract
High myopia, optic nerve head tilting, and parapapillary atrophy are likely associated with the increased susceptibility to damage of dependent axons. Axons outside of the area of tilt may be relatively protected. As young myopes are more likely to suffer from hypotony related complications after tr...

Abstract
Vitreous floaters can be often undervaluated by ophthalmologists, resulting in no intervention. Conventional 20 gauge PPV after a carefully examination can be an effective option for some authors. 25G-PPV incorporates also advantages as the early recovery, with little complications in pseudophakic e...

Abstract
The risk factors of intraoperative sclerotomy leakage requiring suture placement after 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy are prior vitrectomy, a young age at operation, and vitreous base dissection. Caution should be exercised to ensure the detection of sclerotomy leakage and hypotony...

Abstract
Tube shunts are typically used in eyes with refractory glaucoma. There is increased interest in studying the efficacy of GDDs. Most of the attention has been focused on comparing trabeculectomy with the Baerveldt implant (Advanced Medical Optics, Inc., Santa Anna, California, USA). The other leading...

Abstract
IOP (mean +/- SD) was 2.9 +/- 1.4 mmHg before suture, and elevated significantly to 7.3 +/- 4.5 mmHg at 1 week after suture, 7.2 +/- 3.5 mmHg at 1 month, 8.4 +/- 4.1 mmHg at 1 year, and 8.1 +/- 3.5 mmHg at the last follow-up (mean of 23 months). The best-corrected visual acuity was improved. Hypoton...

Abstract
Stabilisation of the IOP and vision in some eyes with COH following vitreoretinal surgery can be achieved with intraocular injection of sodium hyaluronate. Large case-series and long-term follow-up are necessary to confirm the beneficial role of intraocular sodium hyaluronate injections in such eyes...

Abstract
Hypotony maculopathy, first described in 1954 by Dellaporta, usually occurs after antiglaucomatous surgery or after perforating eye injuries; it is characterized by hypotony associated with fundus abnormalities, including papilloedema, vascular tortuosity and chorioretinal folds. In hypotony maculop...

Abstract
This study shows that patients with hypotony and thinner central corneas have a lower risk of experiencing maculopathy. This association may result from the influence of CCT on applanation tonometry, although we can not rule out that CCT is related to the development of HM by other mechanisms. This...
