This study was undertaken to determine whether there are age-related changes in the specific activities of several glycosidases in fresh retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) isolated from the… (More)
Pharmacologic inhibition of fibroblast proliferation and scar formation remains an important consideration in many ophthalmologic surgical procedures. Such inhibition is particularly important in… (More)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
Modern cataract surgery has evolved to include small, unsutured wounds with rapid visual rehabilitation and fewer complications. Properly constructed, these unsutured wounds… (More)
The posterior dislocation of an intraocular lens is a serious complication of extracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens. We describe a method of… (More)
We retrospectively reviewed the records, photographs, and fluorescein angiograms of patients with chorioretinal folds to compare features of unilateral and bilateral involvement. We studied 78 eyes… (More)
Evidence indicates that lysosomal enzymes can carry out corneal autolysis during corneal storage and that they are damaging to the corneal endothelium. The authors investigated the release of… (More)
Six acidic glycosidase activities in cultured human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells from donors of different ages (19 to 80 years) were studied with regard to pH optimum, Km, Vmax and specific… (More)
Bilateral serous retinal detachments are rare complications of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with chronic relapsing TTP with bilateral serous… (More)
Four patients with isolated acute ocular ischemic syndromes also had circulating antiphospholipid antibodies. Two patients had vaso-occlusive retinopathy and two, anterior ischemic optic neuropathy… (More)
We retrospectively studied eight eyes of seven patients sustaining indirect choroidal rupture secondary to blunt trauma. Clinical and fluorescein angiographic findings were reviewed. The ruptures… (More)
