Pars Plana Lensectomy Vitrectomy Iris Suture in Eye with Cataract, Iris, Lens, Choroidal Coloboma

2009-11-02T09:28:00.000+13:00

A 53 Year Old woman with bilateral congenital colobomas who had recent vision loss in left eye from worsening cataract. Because of her iris, lens, and choroidal coloboma, the lens was removed using a vitrectomy lensectomy. The iris coloboma was repaired with an iris suture. At the end of the case, an anterior chamber intraocular lens is placed. The patients vision improved to 20/400 which was the best she had previously.

Macular pucker removal and repositioning of decentered IOL

2009-10-31T09:23:00.000+13:00

Macular pucker surgery using 25 gauge small incision "no stitch" system and repositioning of decentered intraocular lens, This 67 year old white male has noticed decreased vision in his left eye for one year. He had a cataract surgery one year ago. His vision did not improve. It looked like he had a thumbprint in front of his lens. Then aout six months ago he noticed his vision becoming more foggy. He is diabetic for 18 years and has high cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart disease. He was recently diagnosed with glaucoma and started on a pressure lowering eye drop. His visual acuity on presentaiton was 20/50 in each eye. His intraocular lens was displaced superiorly in each eye. In the left eye the intraocular lens was displaced enough so that the edge of the lens was at the visual axis. His left eye also had a macular pucker. He also had optic nerve cupping in each eye.

V sign in corneal transplantation

2009-08-02T10:00:00.000+12:00

This video demonstrates the "V" sign during penetrating keratoplasty. The "V" sign occurs when the needle passes at 99% depth on the host cornea. Because descemet's membrane is elastic, it travels with the needle forming a V until the suture is passed and the V is released. Observing the V during surgery ensures that one is a the correct depth when passing sutures during corneal transplantation.

2009-05-26T15:14:00.000+12:00

This patient had a retinal detachment with symptoms of a creeping shadow for about a week. The examination showed that some components of the retinal detachment were old. Because of the configuration of the detachment, with a single break at 7:00, it was decided to reattach the retina with a segmental scleral buckle.

Endoscopic orbital decompression

2009-05-23T14:40:00.001+12:00

Orbital Decompression Surgery - RIGHT SIDE. Patient with Graves' orbitopathy, which causes the protrusion of the eyes and can lead to vision loss. Middle turbinate is to the right, eye to the right. Maxillary antrostomy, sphenoidotomy and complete ethmoidectomy have been performed. The frontal sinus has been opened. The bone overlying the right eye is removed. The periorbita (tissue enclosing the eye) is opened with a sickle knife, allowing orbital fat to protrude into the nose. This allows the eye to settle into a more natural position.

Secondary IOL/ collar button capture with scleral suture

2009-02-02T13:54:00.000+13:00

This is a 48 year old s/p pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy with only anterior capsule remaining. He has a small central opening in the capsule and is aphakic. I performed a secondary IOL by converting his small opening into a larger one to accomodate a collar button capture of the optic and also did a scleral suture to guarentee good fixation in this young myope.
