Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a rare autosomal dominant metabolic disorder, caused by mutations in the gene responsible for coding the fibrillin-1 protein. It is characterized by cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and ocular manifestations. The purpose of this report was to present a rare ophthalmologic complication in a patient with MFS. Female, 51 years old, attended the emergency room complaining of severe pain, low visual acuity and hyperemia in the right eye, started two days before. Biomicroscopy: ectopia lentis (luxated) for anterior chamber; Tonometry: 56 mmHg. Hypotensive drugs were prescribed which reduced intraocular pressure (IOP) to 8 mmHg. Referred for emergency surgery (facectomy without IOL implantation) in order to avoid further damage to the cornea and optic nerve. In the post operative period, presented IOP control and improved VA to 20/50. Multidisciplinary follow-up is necessary in patients with MFS, enabling early diagnosis, which can prevent and minimize any complications.

BACKGROUND: Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii. Ocular manifestations are seen in both congenital and acquired toxoplasmosis. These can include focal inflammation within or around the optic nerve head (papillitis). Purpose of this study is evaluating the efficacy of systemic steroid in HIV patient with toxoplasma papillitis. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case report of a male, 46 years old with a decrease of visual acuity on the right eye for three weeks before admission to the hospital. An ophthalmology examination showed visual acuity of the right eye 1/60, mild dilatation of the pupil and posterior synechiae, vitreous was hazy, and fundus examination showed optic nerve head not well demarcated and hyperaemic with the good retina and macula reflex. Laboratory examination showed reactive anti-Toxoplasma immunoglobulin G. Patient had been treated with antiretroviral and anti-Toxoplasma drugs, then he was given steroid 250 mg intravenously four times per day for three days and tapering off orally. Visual acuity on the right eye improve from 1/60 became 6/60 after use of steroid on the third day. DISCUSSION: Steroid can improve visual acuity for toxoplasma papillitis in this patient. But the long term and close follow up in steroid therapy is needed.

A 36-year-old patient presented to the hospital with recurrent dislocation of the intraocular lens (IOL). The patient with the diagnosis of familial ectopia lentis was first operated on for crystalline lens subluxation in the left eye in 2007 and in the right eye in 2009. In both eyes, lens extraction with anterior vitrectomy and transscleral fixation of a rigid IOL was performed. In 2011, the IOL in the right eye luxated into the vitreous cavity due to ocular trauma. The patient underwent a pars plana vitrectomy with the IOL resuturation to the sclera. Seven years later, a spontaneous vision loss in the right eye was caused by a retinal detachment. The pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade and a consequential oil removal three months later were performed in 2018. The follow-up examination revealed recurrent IOL dislocation in the same eye. Due to a history of previous suture-related complications a decision was made to remove the subluxated rigid polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) IOL and fixate to sclera a sutureless SOLEKO FIL SSF Carlevale lens. The purpose of this report is to present a single case of a 36-year-old patient who was presented to the hospital with recurrent dislocation of the intraocular lens. In a three-month follow-up period, a good anatomical and functional outcome was finally obtained with transscleral sutureless intraocular lens. This lens is an option worth considering especially in a young patient with a long life expectancy and physically active.

ZusammenfassungIm ersten Teil des vorliegenden Beitrags wurde im Detail auf die Genetik, Diagnose, Differenzialdiagnose, die diagnostische Bildgebung, Follow-up, die kardiovaskulären Probleme sowie die Manifestation an Aorta und den großen Gefäßen bei Patienten mit dem Marfan-Syndrom (MFS) eingegangen. In diesem zweiten Teil werden die medikamentöse Therapie des MFS, seine Bedeutung im Zusammenhang mit einer Schwangerschaft, die Beteiligung von Augen und Wirbelsäule bei MFS-Patienten sowie die organisatorischen Aspekte einer Marfan-Sprechstunde erläutert. Das MFS ist mit einer Prävalenz von etwa 1–2:10.000 die häufigste hereditäre Bindegewebserkrankung mit vaskulärer Komponente. Ursache sind Mutationen im Gen, das für das extrazelluläre Matrixprotein Fibrillin‑1 kodiert. Die Erkrankung wird autosomal-dominant vererbt. Es handelt sich um eine Multisystemerkrankung mit Beteiligung der Aorta, der Mitralklappe, Augen- und Skelettveränderungen. Die Augen- und/oder die Wirbelsäulenbeteiligung sind nicht zu unterschätzen, da sowohl die Skoliose als auch die Linsendislokation etwa 60 % der Patienten mit MFS betreffen. Bis anhin konnte kein Wirkstoff einen klaren Vorteil hinsichtlich klinischer Ereignisse in MFS-Patienten zeigen. Es besteht jedoch der allgemeine Konsens, Patienten mit MFS einen β‑Rezeptoren- oder Angiotensinrezeptorblocker isoliert oder als Kombinationstherapie zu verabreichen. Bei bestehendem Kinderwunsch muss ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Planung der Schwangerschaft gelegt werden. Im Fall eines Aortenwurzeldurchmessers > 4–4,5 cm empfiehlt sich, entweder einen prophylaktischen Aortenwurzelersatz zu erwägen oder von einer Schwangerschaft abzuraten. Eine strukturierte Langzeitbetreuung ist für Patienten mit MFS essenziell.

Purpose To evaluate the outcomes of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) followed by phacoemulsification and toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for the treatment of concomitant stromal disease and cataract. Methods In this retrospective non-comparative interventional case series, ten eyes affected by stromal disease and cataract underwent DALK followed by phacoemulsification with toric IOL implantation after a minimum period of 5 months from complete suture removal. In each case, topographic astigmatism, refraction, visual acuity, and endothelial cell density were recorded before DALK and 1, 6, and 12 months after cataract surgery. In addition, IOL rotation was evaluated using anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Results Big-bubble DALK was performed in all eyes but one that received manual dissection. Topographic astigmatism averaged 5.6 ± 2.2 diopters (D) after suture removal; refractive astigmatism decreased to 0.55 ± 0.61 D as early as one month after cataract surgery and did not change substantially throughout the follow-up period. In all patients, one month after phacoemulsification uncorrected and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity were, respectively, ≥20/40 and ≥20/25 with a residual spherical equivalent of 0.00 ± 0.84 D. At the latest follow-up visit, in all cases the IOL rotation was ≤5 degrees from the intended position and the endothelial cell loss within 8.5%. No complications were recorded. Conclusions DALK followed by phacoemulsification with toric IOL implantation optimizes visual and refractive outcomes in patients with concomitant stromal disease and cataract. In comparison with a combined procedure, the sequential approach offers better predictability of the postoperative refraction in the absence of an increased risk of complications.

ABSTRACT To describe a case of very asymmetric ectasia successfully treated by femtosecond laser-assisted intracorneal ring segment implantation, in which the diagnosis of unilateral ectasia in the right eye was based on the clinical findings including history, follow-up, and advanced diagnostic data. The patient's history was positive for ocular allergy with moderate- to-intense eye rubbing only in the right eye. The uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/63 in the right eye and 20/32 in the left eye. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was 20/40 in the right eye (-1.75-4.00 × 35°) and 20/16 in the left eye (-0.50-0.25 × 115°). After femtosecond laser-assisted intracorneal ring segment implantation, the right eye improved CDVA to 20/20-1. Concerning ectasia/keratoconus diagnosis, the left eye remained stable over 1 year of follow-up with unremarkable topometric, tomographic, and biomechanical findings. Epithelial thickness mapping by spectral domain optical coherence tomography and very-high-frequency digital ultrasound demonstrated epithelial thickness within normal limits in the left eye. Advanced diagnostic methods along with clinical data enable the distinction from unilateral ectasia cases and subclinical (fruste) keratoconus. Literature review is also performed along with case presentation and discussion.

Background: eye injury is often accompanied by lens damage. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of surgical treatment of traumatic cataract with simultaneous IOL implantation in children. Material and methods: The results of surgical treatment of traumatic cataract with simultaneous IOL implantation in 62 children were analyzed: in 48 boys (77.4%) and 14 girls (22.6%) with a mean age 8.1 years. Results: visual acuity after surgery gradually increased from 0.09 to 0.22 by the end of the first month, 0.43 in 6 months and 0.47 in one year of follow-up. In 85.5% of the operated children visual acuity in the late post-op period was accounted 0.3–1.0, and in 82.2% of cases binocular vision was recovered. In the early postoperative period following complications were observed: exudative iridocyclitis — 16.1%; deposits of fibrin in the pupil — 8%; pigment deposits on surface of the IOL — 19%; secondary cataract — 12%; IOL or its haptics dislocation — 3% cases. Conclusions: Early IOL implantation during traumatic cataract surgery in children is suitable. Use of viscoelastics allows minimizing the severity of postoperative inflammation and reducing a risk of complications. Intraocular injection of Gemasa during surgery is effective to resolve hyphema, intraocular hemorrhages and fibrinoid exudate.

Purpose: To describe a case of macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) presenting with decreased vision due to intraretinal/sub-internal limiting membrane (ILM) hemorrhage in the absence of neovascularization. Method: Clinical examination and multimodal imaging were performed. Results: A 65-year-old female presented with blurred left vision, recording 20/160 in that eye. There was intraretinal hemorrhage at the left macula centrally, with sub-ILM hemorrhage superiorly and inferiorly. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed no evidence of subretinal neovascularization. Imaging of the right macula was consistent with MacTel. The blood spontaneously cleared and the left visual acuity gradually improved to 20/25 by 4 months. Fluorescein angiography confirmed MacTel, and once the hemorrhage resolved, both inner and outer retinal cavitation was identified on OCT of the left macula. The left best-corrected visual acuity remained at 20/25 at 2-year follow-up. Conclusion: Spontaneous resorption of hemorrhage was accompanied by visual improvement.

Abstract Background: The incidence of nucleus drop or intraocular lens (IOL) drop as the complication of phacoemulsification increases due to the increased frequency of phacoemulsification. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) followed by endofragmentation and secondary IOL implantation is the choice of procedure for management. This study aims to determine the frequency, outcomes, and complication of PPV in the case of nucleus drop or IOL drop in the Department of Ophthalmology, Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Indonesia – Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo (FKUI-RSCM) Methods: This study is a retrospective descriptive study conducted in the Vitreoretinal Division of the Department of Ophthalmology, FKUI - RSCM. Research data was taken from the medical records of all nucleus drop or IOL drop patients underwent PPV in January 2017-December 2017. Results: There were 19 cases studied. The incidence of nucleus drop occurred in phacoemulsification surgery techniques (94.7%) and ECCE techniques (5.3%). Vitrectomy surgery was performed ≤2 weeks in 31.6% and >2 weeks in 68.4% after the patient first arrived at the vitreoretinal clinic. Most pre-PPV visual acuity was 1/60-6/60 (47.1%). In the final follow-up, visual acuity improved from 6/45 to 6/6 occurred in 42.2% of cases. Complication after PPV and secondary IOL implantation include elevated IOP (10.5%), IOL decentration (5.3%), corneal decompensation (5.3%), macular edema (5.3%), and retinal detachment (5.3%). Conclusion: Nucleus drop or IOL drop generally occurs in phacoemulsification cataract surgery techniques. Improved visual acuity was achieved after PPV and secondary IOL implantation at the end of the follow-up period. Most common post-PPV complication is elevated IOP.

Trauma is an important cause of monocular blindness in the developing world. This study aims to determine the demo­graphic profile and visual outcome of cataract surgery among the children with traumatic cataract. It was a prospective and longitudinal study of 189 consecutive children below 16 years who underwent cataract surgery with intra ocular lens (IOL) implantation for traumatic cataract at Sagarmatha Choudhary Eye Hospital, Lahan, Nepal from October 2012 to March 2014. Assessment included visual acuity measurement in the Snellen’s chart or the Cardiff card, anterior segment examina­tion with slit lamp, dilated fundus examination with the help of +20D lens in indirect ophthalmoscope, B-scan ultrasonogra­phy of posterior segment and objective and subjective refraction. Follow up was scheduled at first post-operative day, at dis­charge, one month and three months. Cause and type of trauma, demographic factors, surgical intervention, complications, and visual acuity was recorded. Among 189, majority of them were males (73%) and the average age was 8.8±3.6 years. The time of presentation ranged from 3 days to 8 years (median age two months). Wooden stick was the most common cause of injury (34.4%). The average preoperative visual acuity in logMAR scale was 1.6. The average postoperative visual acuity in logMAR scale was 0.8. Eye injuries with traumatic cataract are associated with significant visual impairment. Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation restores vision significantly.
