Evolution of the eyes of vipers with and without infrared-sensing pit organs [PDF]
, 2019 We examined lens and brille transmittance, photoreceptors, visual pigments, and visual opsin gene sequences of viperid snakes with and without infrared-sensing pit organs. Ocular media transmittance is high in both groups.

Two cases of fungal keratitis caused by Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]
, 2018 We present two cases of keratitis due to Metarhizium anisopliae in geographically separated areas of the United States. The isolates were microscopically similar but morphologically different and were identified by ribosomal DNA sequencing. Both isolates

Scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation techniques
Acta Medica Alanya, 2019 The ideal location of intraocular lens implantation is the posterior chamber. The capsular bag is left during the cataract operations in order to implant the intraocular lens in the position of the crystalline lens and the artificial lens is applied ...

Safe Suture Burial in Trans-scleral Fixation of Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens
Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011 The commonest complication of trans-scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) is suture erosion. The sutures though crucial for lens stability, if exposed cause discomfort and are a potential source of endophthalmitis.
