Abstract

A 64-year-old woman with a fibrous membrane at the lens plane after traumatic loss of all the iris and massive intraocular hemorrhage had posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation anterior to the fibrous membrane with a triangular transchamber suture to prevent possible PCIOL-corneal touch and enhance the stability of the PCIOL. After 3 years, the PCIOL remained in a good position and visual rehabilitation was satisfactory and without complications.

Latent proliferative sickle cell retinopathy in sickle cell trait.

PURPOSE: To describe a patient with sickle cell trait who developed latent proliferative sickle cell retinopathy after mild blunt trauma. METHOD: Case Report. A 20-year-old man with unilateral Stage 3 sickle retinopathy associated with an ischaemic ridge presenting three years after the initial mild blunt ocular trauma. RESULTS: Fundus examination of the left eye showed an ischaemic ridge delineating avascular from vascular retina. Fluorescein angiography of the left eye showed an avascular peripheral retina and multiple sea fan neovascularization. Blood studies showed him to be Hb AS. CONCLUSIONS: In our patient the proliferative changes were the result of his initial mild trauma associated with an increase in the intraocular pressure. The latent development of the sea-fan neovascularization associated with an ischaemic ridge is unusual. Advice about potential complications to patients with Hb AS after ocular trauma is advocated.

Military laser weapons: current controversies.

Military laser weapons systems are becoming indispensable in most modern armies. These lasers have undergone many stages of development, and have outpaced research on eye protection measures, which continue to have inherent limitations. Eye injuries caused by military lasers are increasingly reported, leading to speculation that these would become an important cause of blinding in modern conflicts. As part of the effort to ban inhumane weapons, international laws have been passed to restrict the proliferation of such blinding weapons. However, there are controversies concerning the interpretation, implementation and effectiveness of these laws. The ophthalmic community can play a greater role in highlighting ocular morbidity from military lasers, and in preventing their further proliferation.
