  • the finger Iridectomy technique for glaucoma
    British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2007
    Co-Authors: Paul T Finger
    Abstract:

    Surgical Iridectomy is a standard method of treatment for narrow-angle glaucoma.1 However, the development of laser Iridectomy has largely replaced the need for incisional surgery.1 There are cases where patients are unable or unwilling to submit to laser iridotomy, when surgical manipulation of the iris is required and when the cornea is not sufficiently clear. This case demonstrates the first use of a 25-gauge aspiration cutter through a 1 mm self-sealing corneal incision to perform a surgical Iridectomy for glaucoma. An 80-year-old woman was noted to have a variably pigmented inferonasal iris tumour, lenticular pseudoexfoliation and narrow angles in her left eye. The tumour was documented to grow and cause a sector cataract (prompting her referral to The …

  • small incision surgical iridotomy and Iridectomy

  • identification prevention and treatment of silicone oil pupillary block after an inferior Iridectomy
    American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1991
    Co-Authors: Elisha Bartov, Ruth Huna, I Ashkenazi, Shlomo Melamed, Isaac Gutman, Nava Naveh, Giora Treister
    Abstract:

    We treated two patients in whom silicone oil pupillary block developed despite a patent inferior Iridectomy. The clinical characteristics of this complication were a deep anterior chamber, specular reflexes from the iris surface, identification by biomicroscopy of aqueous trapped inferiorly in the vitreous cavity, and no convection currents in the anterior chamber. This complication may be prevented by early face-down positioning of the patient after the operation, and the avoidance of large, centrally located, inferior iridectomies. We recommend that the Iridectomy be placed peripherally no larger than 2 mm and propose a new technique for breaking the silicone oil block, which was clearly successful in one of the patients.

  • automated vitrector assisted optical Iridectomy customized Iridectomy
    Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2007
    Co-Authors: Tushar Agarwal, Namrata Sharma, Vishal Jhanji, Paromita Dutta, Radhika Tandon, Jeewan S Titiyal, Rasik B Vajpayee
    Abstract:

    An automated vitrector was used to create an optical Iridectomy in 15 eyes of 15 patients with leucomatous corneal opacities. The optical Iridectomy was performed successfully through a standard 1.2 mm incision in all eyes. No intraoperative complications were observed, and there was no case of iatrogenic cataract formation. The median best corrected visual acuity improved from 1/60 (range light perception to 6/60) preoperatively to 6/24 (range 6/60 to 6/12) at the last follow-up (mean 28 days). An automated vitrector can be successfully used to create an optical Iridectomy in eyes with leucomatous corneal opacities. This technique was safe and could be performed through a small surgical incision.

  • optical sector Iridectomy in corneal opacities
    Cornea, 1999
    Co-Authors: Rasik B Vajpayee, Namrata Sharma, Tanuj Dada, Neelam Pushker
    Abstract:

    PURPOSE: To evaluate the visual outcome after optical sector Iridectomy in cases of corneal opacities. METHODS: Seventeen eyes of 17 patients with preoperative visual acuity of <6/60 in the affected eye underwent sector Iridectomy in a prospective clinical study at a tertiary eye care center. Of 17 cases, 11 had corneal opacities after healed keratitis, four after trauma, and one each due to alkali burns or trachoma. The sector Iridectomy was undertaken in cases in which one sector of the cornea and lens was fairly clear. Success was defined as attainment of ambulatory visual acuity of 6/60 or better. RESULTS: Mean age of the patients was 32+/-2.3 years. Most eyes had deep vascularized corneal scars (13 eyes). Optical sector Iridectomy was performed most frequently in the lower nasal quadrant (11 eyes) followed by the lower temporal quadrant (four eyes). Of 17 eyes, 16 achieved a visual acuity of 6/60 or better. No intra-or postoperative complications were encountered. CONCLUSION: Optical sector Iridectomy in cases of corneal opacities is a simple and safe procedure that can improve visual outcome and provide ambulatory vision to patients. It is a valuable alternative to penetrating keratoplasty if penetrating keratoplasty is not possible or not promising for various reasons.
