Influence of capsular tension ring implantation on rotational stability of intraocular lenses
This is a systematic review and meta-analysis aiming to determine the effect of capsular tension ring (CTR) placement on intraocular lens (IOL) rotational stability. Twelve studies (1251 eyes; 639 CTR, 612 non-CTR) were included from literature search of PubMed, EMBASE,...A rare case of endogenous panophthalmitis: Nidus from an E. coli urinary tract infection
Endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE) is a form of severe inflammation caused by haematogenous spread of a virulent bacterium from a nidus elsewhere in the body to intraocular tissues. It is a rare occurrence and only constitutes around 2–8% of all...High-stakes scenarios in retinal vein occlusion: A survey of medico-legal implications
