Abstract
A 79-year-old female had vision loss due to wet age-related macular degeneration, corneal endothelial dystrophy with corneal oedema and cataract. She subsequently began hallucinating and saw imaginary vehicles, bridges, trees and houses on the road while driving (Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS)). The...

Abstract
Cataracts have been a common disease in China for centuries. As early as the Tang dynasty, physicians of Chinese medicine had developed 'jin pi shu', a method of couching, to cure the disease. In 1976, a new method, invented by Tang Youzhi, was acknowledged as one of the most advance...

Abstract
A 16-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with mental retardation and a gradually increasing gait disturbance. He fell easily at age 6, and lost the ability to jump at age 12. At age 13, he lost the ability to run, and developed pes cavus and hammer toes. Spastic paraplegia with mental...

Abstract
This preliminary report was attempted to compare the chemical components of mineral deposits on the surfaces of an opacified intraocular lens (IOL) and a calcified senile cataractous lens (SCL) by vibrational spectral diagnosis. An opacified intraocular lens (IOL) was obtained from a 65-year-old mal...

Abstract
We investigated UPR activation in an in vivo mouse model of αA-R49C using immunoblot analysis of lens extracts. We found that expression of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone, BiP, was 5-fold higher in homozygous αA-R49C lenses than in wild type lenses. Analysis of proteins typically express...

Abstract
Corneal spherical aberration varied among cataract patients and correlated with axial length. Japanese patients showed a relatively smaller corneal spherical aberration than previous studies of Caucasians. Preoperative measurement of wavefront aberrations is thus important in using aspheric IOLs....

Abstract
This case is of interest because the eye was treated twice with subconjunctival bevacizumab with good short-term results in both instances but different longer-term outcomes in terms of vessel regrowth. This case suggests that the antiangiogenic effects of bevacizumab may be effectively harnessed at...

From those recruited, 15.2% were hypermetropic; 11.1% were myopic; and 6.2% had astigmatism. Participants became progressively more hypermetropic with increasing age until the age of 70 years, after which time they become more myopic. Furthermore, there was an increasing likelihood of myopia and a d...

Elevated intraocular pressure and glaucoma are the most common complications of intraocular triamcinolone. There is also an increased incidence of cataract formation/progression over time. The immunosuppressive effect of triamcinolone does not appear to increase the risk of endophthalmitis. Recent r...

We describe progressive focal lesions of supratentorial white matter in a 10-year-old boy affected by CCFDN. Other etiologies have been excluded and these lesions can be considered a new finding of the disease. We discuss a possible demyelinating mechanism affecting both peripheral and central myeli...

The mean IOP in the 26 eyes was 49.0 mm Hg +/- 10.4 (SD) (range 31 to 70 mm Hg) preoperatively and 13.2 +/- 2.8 mm Hg (range 8 to 20 mm Hg) 48 months postoperatively (P<.0001, paired t test). No eye had increased IOP over the follow-up. The postoperative IOP was significantly lower 1 day postoperati...

In the 96 eyes evaluated, the MAE was correlated with cataract density (r = 0.37, P = .001) and the AL difference (r = 0.34, P = .003) but not with the other parameters. The AL difference was correlated with cataract density (r = 0.53, P<.0001). CONCLUSION: The postoperative refractive outcome was a...
