Intra Ocular Lens Degenerative Myopi Case Study

There were no intraoperative or postoperative problems. However in one patient elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) were detected at the postoperative control. Were considered steroid induced, the IOP returned to baseline levels after cessation of steroid. Throughout all follow-up years, a total of 5 eyes of 5 patients have been received a new intervention due to a tilt of the lens or had been dislocated from the iris. In this patients the endothelial cells loss was much higher than the

My inspiration for wanting to become an optometrist was jump-started by my aunt Rosemary. My aunt suffers from dry macular degeneration, and she first started losing her eyesight when I was about five years old. I have always been close to her, and I have seen her vision deteriorate. Today she can see peripherally. I have watched as she lost her driving privileges and was forced into an early retirement. I always viewed my aunt's condition without an appreciation of how lucky I truly was to have normal vision. However, In the summer of 2002 I visited an optometrist for the first time. Since that first visit to the optometrist 13 years ago, my eyesight has drastically deteriorated. I currently have a correction factor of -7.25 in my right eye, and a correction factor of -8.0 in my left eye. My vision has stabilized, but my high correction power, coupled with observing my aunt's macular degeneration, allowed me to understand that the gift of vision may not be an everlasting gift. I want to do my best to help people make the best of what may not be an enduring attribute of their lives.

For this assignment, I interviewed Dr. George Joseph, a board certified Medical Doctor with specialty training in Ophthalmology. Dr. Joseph has practiced Ophthalmology for 18 years. He previously worked for UT Southwestern Medical School and the University of Houston. However, he currently works as the Medical Director for Vision Group Holdings and Eye Surgery of Texas, PA. They have offices in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Oklahoma City and St. Louis. He is also on staff at Presbyterian Hospital of Plano Texas. Dr. Joseph listed his daily responsibilities as “setting medical protocols and examining and evaluating patients with medical diseases of the eye for treatment.” Treatments for his patients typically include

Including all surgeries with suitable follow-up, DMEK patients had a preoperative mean BCVA ± SD of 0.64 ± 0.41 logMAR improving to 0.19 ± 0.16 logMAR at 5 years. A visual acuity of 20/40 or better was reached in 84% of eyes and of 20/25 or better in 48% (Table1).

Eye tests usually consist of visual acuity test, which includes Snellen chart reading ( (you are supposed to read letters of different sizes, from largest in the top to smallest in the bottom line). Afterwards, more profound tests are performed, so that problem’s severity can be thoroughly observed. In accordance with results, corrective lenses will be prescribed. During eye testing, optometrist will be evaluating all three aspects of your

Certain eye conditions are common, some developed through the natural process of aging and others caused by disease, injury and exposure to chemicals. Let's see what they

Surgical treatment has been proven to improve the visual acuity (Reacher et al., 1992), but its effectiveness on cornea opacity

Before contact lenses finally became popular in the 50’s, eyeglasses had been the only practical way to correct refraction vision errors. Now however, there are several modern ways when it comes to correcting vision problems including corrective eye surgery. Corrective eye surgery ranges from laser reshaping of the eye surface known as LASIK and PRK to a surgically inserted artificial lens that corrects the eyesight. Within LASIK and other such similar procedures, laser energy reshapes the curvature of the eye’s clear front surface known as the cornea and alters the way that light rays will enter your eye. This isn’t too different from artificial lenses, which once surgically inserted into the eye, can

An appropriate written informed consent was obtained from all patients before surgery in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Patients with unrealistic expectations; anterior chamber depth less than 2.80 mm; IOP greater than 20 mm Hg; a history of ocular surgery or trauma, cataract, glaucoma, diabetes mellitus, other ocular or systemic autoimmune disease; less than 18 years old were excluded from the study.

WM, a 62 year-old Caucasian male, presented to UECF on July 16, 2015 for a primary care examination to update his prescription for new glasses. At the time, he was also experiencing symptoms of dry eye, mostly when using the computer. WM works as a Carpenter Project Engineer and enjoys hiking, biking, tennis and basketball in his free time.

In our study more than 75% of cases did not develop any intraoperative complications. Complications occurred only in 14 cases; of these, the most common complication was slippage of the cannula, occurred in 8 cases (14%); followed by trauma to the lens, seen in 4 cases (7%) and lastly retina incarcerated in the cannula in only 2 cases (3.5%).
