Abstract
Cyclodialysis clefts are rare. The most common reason for presentation is blunt-ocular trauma followed by various iatrogenic interventions. Diagnosis is particularly challenging and various new noninvasive techniques have been described to facilitate this process, such as ultrasound biomicroscopy (U...

Abstract
We present a 37 year-old man with secondary angle closure by neuroepithelial ciliary body cysts. An argon laser peripherical iridoplasty was performed and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) was employed to follow-up. Initially, the patient had a favorable response to treatment, but six months later the...

Abstract
The scleral punch provides a safe and effective method for constructing and revising full-thickness sclerectomies in the nanophthalmic eye, minimizing the risk of choroidal trauma. The use of topical MMC may reduce the risk of late failure of trans-scleral outflow due to fibrosis....

Abstract
Microphthalmos is a developmental ocular disorder defined as a small eyeball. The condition can be associated with abnormalities of anterior and posterior segments. The most common anterior characteristics include corneal opacities, angle-closure and a shallow anterior chamber and cataract. The main...

Abstract
Interaction of the effects of topical prostaglandin analogs (blood-aqueous barrier disruption, enhancement of uveoscleral outflow) with both the diffuse choroidal hemangioma and the elevated episcleral venous pressure may lead to uveal effusion in Sturge-Weber-Krabbe syndrome. In spite of their effi...

Abstract
UES is not caused by reduced scleral hydraulic conductivity, which tends to be higher than expected. Reduced macromolecular diffusion may impede the normal transscleral egress of albumin with subsequent osmotic fluid retention in some, but not all eyes....

Abstract
Even small clefts usually resulted in hypotony and visual prognosis was better after cyclopexy, even in cases with a protracted history. Larger clefts need longer postoperative follow-up to check for intraocular pressure normalization after direct cyclopexy....

Primary iridociliary cysts may rarely progress to a size that can compromise the angle. They are usually considered as benign and stationary lesions. The advent of UBM is an invaluable tool for the contemporary ophthalmologist in order to set the diagnosis and follow the evolution of those lesions....

Abstract
Cyclodialysis clefts occur when the attachment of the ciliary body to the scleral spur is disrupted. The mechanism is usually traumatic or iatrogenic after phacoemulsification or other intraocular manipulation. Treatment becomes necessary when hypotony occurs, with maculopathy being the most visuall...

UBM can be used to measure scleral thickness, and our results support the finding that patients with uveal effusion syndrome have abnormally thick sclera. Compared with MRI, UBM may be a more accurate and precise method of measuring scleral thickness. UBM can be a useful adjunctive test in the manag...
