Secondary intraocular lens implantation in eyes that experienced suprachoroidal hemorrhage during primary cataract
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery
|November 1, 1989
Abstract:
Six eyes that experienced acute intraoperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage or effusion (AISHE) during primary extracapsular cataract surgery have had secondary lens implantation. All secondary procedures were without recurrent AISHE and uneventful. The six patients achieved 20/30 or better corrected visual acuity. The key to these good results was the maintenance of an intact posterior capsule at the time of original surgery. This was accomplished with early rapid wound closure and no choroidal drainage.

01:25Glaucoma: Overview
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
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...
