ABSTRACT
Introduction: Lacteocrumenasia is a relatively rare postoperative complication of cataract surgery. It is classified as a late-onset type of capsular block syndrome (CBS) and is often accompanied by myopia; however, its mechanism is not clearly understood. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 62-year-old male patient having CBS with myopia. The patient was treated with neodymium-yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd-YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy. We measured and compared the depth of the intraocular lens using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) before and after laser treatment. Treatment resulted in refraction improvement of more than 1.0 diopters. The intraocular lens depth before and after Nd-YAG laser irradiation had very mild changes of less than 0.05 mm, which did not explain the refractive changes. Conclusion: Myopia in the early-onset type of CBS is caused by anterior deviation of the intraocular lens; however, the evaluation of this case using AS-OCT suggested that an abnormal intraocular lens position may not be involved in late-onset CBS.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To report a case of Tourette syndrome, exacerbated in adulthood, that was diagnosed after bilateral lens luxation and recurrent retinal detachment due to self-injury. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 35-year-old man presented with a sudden abnormality in vision and bilateral lens luxation. The patient successfully underwent bilateral lens extraction and intrascleral intraocular lens fixation; however, vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment occurred in the left eye. The retinal detachment was caused by a giant retinal tear and retinal dialysis. Vitrectomy was performed. However, retinal detachment recurred with proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Retinal detachment subsequently occurred in the right eye. Self-injury to the eye was observed before surgical treatment. The patient was consequently diagnosed with Tourette syndrome. CONCLUSION: Tourette syndrome, which may be accompanied by self-injurious behavior, is a disorder that typically develops in childhood but rarely exacerbates during adulthood. A diagnosis of Tourette syndrome should be considered in cases of unexplained retinal detachment with traumatic features.
ABSTRACT
This was a prospective study to evaluate the feasibility of the photic phenomena test (PPT) for quantifying glare, halo, and starburst. We compared two presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs), the Symfony IOL and the PanOptix IOL, as well as the monofocal Clareon IOL in 111 IOL-implanted eyes of 111 patients who underwent the PPT 1 month postoperatively. The reproducibility of photic phenomena with the PPT was assessed in 39 multifocal IOL-implanted eyes of 20 patients and among the examiners. Patients with ocular diseases, except for refractive errors, were excluded. The mean values of the groups were evaluated. Bland-Altman plots were used to analyze statistical data (Easy R version 1.37; R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). The PPT reproducibility assessment revealed no fixed bias or regressive significance. Reproducibility was confirmed. The glare size did not differ significantly between the Symfony, PanOptix, and Clareon groups. The halo size was significantly larger in the Symfony group (p < 0.01) than in the PanOptix group. The halo intensity was significantly brighter in the PanOptix group (p < 0.01) than in the Symfony group. In contrast, no halos were perceived in the Clareon group. The starburst size or intensity did not differ significantly between the Symfony, PanOptix, and Clareon groups. We identified the photic phenomenon related to various IOLs.
