Anterior scleral staphyloma is a relatively rare disease characterized by thinning and expansion of sclera. We described the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of a case with giant anterio...
A 24-years-old male, presented with a black cyst-like mass protruding from the right eyeball for 9 years after a history of glass crush contusion. The ultrasound biomicroscopy examination showed two c...
The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of the case with giant anterior scleral staphyloma can provide a reference for the management of anterior scleral staphyloma. Surgical resection and...
The purpose of this study was to describe the management of a case of recurrent scleritis and Acanthamoeba -positive scleral abscess in a patient after the use of miltefosine for recalcitrant Acantham...
This is a case study....
In this study, we report a case of advanced Acanthamoeba keratitis with resultant corneal perforation with therapeutic keratoplasty and associated scleritis who later developed a scleral abscess after...
Acanthamoeba scleritis is a rare complication associated with Acanthamoeba keratitis. It has traditionally been treated as an immune reaction and associated inflammation, especially with the use of mi...
This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes and efficacy of a modified tectonic corneoscleral graft (TCG) in patients suffering from devastating corneoscleral infections....
Thirty-eight eyes from 38 patients who underwent the modified TCG were included in this study. The outcomes measured were recurrence rates, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), ocular surface stabilit...
Among the 38 patients, 23 had fungal infections, 9 had bacterial infections and 6 had Pythium insidiosum infections. At the final follow-up, with an average duration of 25.1 ± 8.6 months, the rate of ...
The modified TCG is effective in eradicating infections, preserving the eyeball, and maintaining useful vision in cases of devastating corneoscleral infections. Regular use of tacrolimus, timely admin...
To compare the ocular features of highly myopic eyes with posterior staphyloma of wide macular type according to its morphological complexity....
In this cross-sectional study, wide macular posterior staphyloma (WMPS) was classified into the primary (Curtin type I) and the compound (Curtin types VI to X) forms based on the configuration within ...
A total of 154 eyes (103 patients) with primary WMPS and 65 eyes (49 patients) with compound WMPS were included. Eyes with compound WMPS had worse visual acuity (P = 0.001) and greater axial length (P...
The compound form of WMPS had more severe myopic macular changes and worse visual prognosis compared to the primary form of WMPS, and these were associated with more structural deformation in the post...
Studies on the choroid of myopic eyes with posterior staphyloma have shown that choroidal thickness decreased. This retrospective study further analysed the effects of posterior scleral staphyloma on ...
In this cross-sectional study, ninety-one eyes were divided into pathological (posterior staphyloma) and non-pathological myopia. The latter was further divided into three groups (Group 1: 26 mm ≤ axi...
The CVI in N1, N2, I1, S2 of the posterior staphyloma group were lower than those of group 1 (both P < 0.05). The mean height of posterior staphyloma was associated with mean CT (Pearson correlation: ...
The choroidal structure of pathological myopia with posterior staphyloma and non-pathological myopia with longer axial length demonstrates alterations in which choroidal vessels are more impaired than...
Dome-shaped macula (DSM) and tilted disc syndrome (TDS) are two macular abnormalities that may occur in eyes with high myopia. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of both entities in...
This was a prospective and observational study. Optical coherence tomography of the macula was performed in eyes with high myopia (spherical equivalent [SE] of -8D or greater) to assess the prevalence...
Sixty-eight eyes were included. Three eyes (4.41%) had DSM and 8 (11.76%) eyes had TDS. The most common macular anomaly was posterior staphyloma (PS) (12 [17.65%]). From the eyes with DSM (...
A lower prevalence of DSM and a higher prevalence of TDS was observed in our population compared to those reported in literature....
To compare the outcome of 2 intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation techniques: double-flanged polypropylene and Hoffman scleral pocket....
Retrospective case series of all patients who underwent IOL scleral fixation by either the flange (flange group) or Hoffman scleral pocket (Hoffman group) techniques at the Kaplan Medical Center and t...
A total of 140 patients were included (63 flange, 77 Hoffman). The final distance-corrected visual acuity was similar between the flange and Hoffman groups (0.42 ± 0.5 and 0.51 ± 0.5 logMAR, respectiv...
Comparison of scleral IOL fixations performed with the recently developed flange technique to the conventional Hoffman scleral pocket technique resulted in similar visual outcomes and less myopization...
A novel technique is described employing scleral grooves to facilitate sutureless scleral fixation of the Carlevale intraocular lens (CIL). We describe its use in a series of 47 patients with aphakia....
A retrospective study of all patients with aphakia who underwent CIL implantation with the new technique by a single surgeon during 1 year. The novelty of this technique consists in the creation of tw...
Forty-eight eyes of 47 patients with aphakia with a mean age of 74 years (range 31-90 years) are included. The commonest causes of aphakia were intraocular lens (IOL) subluxation,with or without exfol...
The proposed modification of sutureless scleral fixation of the CIL appears safe and effective. In our experience it is less time consuming and easier to perform than previous techniques and may there...
This case report highlights a unique presentation of Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD) with bilateral scleral lesions, choroidal infiltration, and extensive sinus involvement. It is the first case report ...
To evaluate the conjunctival/episcleral thickness (CET) and anterior scleral thickness (AST) in patients with keratoconus with an extended duration of mini-scleral contact lens wear by utilizing anter...
This study included 17 eyes of 17 patients with keratoconus with mini-scleral contact lens wear (Group 1), 20 eyes of 20 patients with keratoconus without any contact lens wear (Group 2), and 20 eyes ...
The median age of the mini-scleral contact lens group was 26, and the number of male patients was 14 (82.4 %). The superior CET values at 1 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm statistically differed between the groups...
In this study, it was found that mini-scleral contact lens usage causes thinning in the conjunctival-episcleral layer, especially in the superior and inferior quadrants, but does not affect scleral th...
