Our office provides a full range of comprehensive services ranging from routine eye care to medical and surgical treatment for eye diseases, these include advanced technology in cataract surgery, laser (Lensx) cataract surgery, advanced intra ocular lens options, glaucoma care, dry eye therapy, and diabetic eye care.

Calculating Bag vs. Sulcus IOL Power If during cataract surgery, the decision is made to place the intraocular lens in the ciliary sulcus, rather than the capsular bag, a decrease in lens power is often necessary.

Don’t place a one-piece acrylic IOL in the ciliary sulcus space because this can lead to secondary pigmentary glaucoma and irreversible vision loss. Don’t place an IOL in the sulcus if anterior or posterior capsular support is inadequate.

What is an upper eyelid superior sulcus? Unwanted hollows or recesses of the upper eyelid, below the bony orbital rim. A sunken appearance in this area is termed a “sulcus deformity” and can lend an overly aged or skeletonized appearance.

Endoscopic imaging and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) have enabled a better understanding of ciliary sulcus anatomy and measurements in the living eye. When the capsular bag is compromised, IOL placement in the ciliary sulcus is a reasonable option.

Usually 3 piece IOL is implanted in the ciliary sulcus with/without optic capture. The presence of intact anterior capsulorrhexis is a perquisite for this technique.

2020年6月3日 · The sulcus can effectively fixate an appropriately designed IOL with good long-term stability and safety. The most common conditions where a sulcus IOL is preferred are rupture of the posterior capsule, zonular laxity, and planned piggyback IOL placement . This chapter introduces some basic concepts on sulcus IOL implantation.

2018年10月1日 · Using UBM, the angle of the ciliary sulcus and several areas of the tissue surrounding the ciliary sulcus were measured from 8 orientations in eyes after ICCE. These measurements and endoscopic observation of the ciliary sulcus indicated the optimum points of needle insertion and needle emergence on the sclera for IOL suture fixation.

2016年10月24日 · Dr. Whitney Smith removes a single-piece IOL upon discovering a PC tear beneath the optic, and then implants a sulcus-placed lens.

In human cadaver eyes and in eyes after cataract extraction, the exact topographical relationship of the ciliary sulcus and the surrounding tissue was analyzed. The anatomical findings and important variations are documented by light microscopy and macrophotography and the relationship to lens implantation is discussed.
