[Conspicuous crystalline lens foreign body after intravitreal injection]
Abstract:
In January 2011 a 63-year-old woman with retinal branch vein occlusion and a macular edema first presented with a conspicuous foreign body of the crystalline lens. The rare event of an inadvertently into the lens placed Ozurdex® was diagnosed. Due to recurrent macular edema several reinjections of Ozurdex® were necessary. Phacoemulsification was performed 11 months later for advanced cataract formation. An uncomplicated fixation of the intraocular lens (IOL) into the capsular bag was enabled due to fibrosis of the capsular defect.

01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
