Lift and crack technique for risky cataract cases

We describe a technique to manage dense cataract cases After a capsulorhexis of 6.0 to 7.0 mm diameter has been created, the phaco tip is inserted into the nucleus centrally and high vacuum is used to lift the nucleus and elevate it with a tilt to protrude outside the capsular bag distally The chopper is used to segment the nucleus centripetally, starting from the lens equator or just behind, without applying stress to the capsular bag or zonules Further phacoemulsification is maintained by holding the nucleus centrally and chopping it into smaller triangular sectoral pieces. In this horizontal chopping technique, which is done just outside the capsular bag, grasping the nucleus in the center and elevating it with high vacuum instead of depressing one edge of the nucleus to elevate the other edge prevents additional stress to the capsule and zonules

Management of Reverse Pellucid Type Topography

Purpose: Evaluation of the etiopathogenesis and management of topographic reverse pellucid pattern after rigid intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with wide limbal clear corneal incision (CCI)

Combined Kerarings and Artisan/Artiflex IOLs in Keratectasia

PURPOSE: To evaluate the results of combined intracorneal ring (Keraring, Mediphacos Ltd) and anterior chamber, iris-fixated, phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) (Artisan and Artiflex, Ophtec BV) implantation in patients with ectatic corneal conditions and secondary high myopic and astigmatic refractive error

Long-term outcomes of intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation for post-LASIK ectasia

Purpose: To report the long-term results of intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) for postoperative LASIK ectasia

LASIK in children with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia

PURPOSE: To evaluate the results of LASIK for hyperopia in pediatric eyes with amblyopia resulting from anisometropia

Comparison of anterior chamber depth measurements taken with the Pentacam, Orbscan IIz and IOLMaster in myopic and emmetropic eyes

This study determined to assess the degree of agreement between anterior chamber depth (ACD) measurements obtained using three different devices and to analyse the relationship between ACD and spherical equivalent (SE) refraction

Complicated flap creation with femtosecond laser after radial keratotomy

Purpose: To report a case of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) that used the Intralase femtosecond laser 14 years after radial keratotomy (RK) for residual myopic astigmatism
