Purpose To determine the effectiveness of iridectomy, capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy through the anterior chamber to treat misdirection syndrome in pseudophakic nanophthalmic eyes. Methods This was a non-comparative study of seven nanophthalmic eyes from four consecutive patients. All eyes developed misdirection syndrome after successful cataract surgery. Treatment for misdirection syndrome involved capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy through a peripheral iridectomy from the anterior chamber using a 25-gauge vitreous cutter. The best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure and anterior and posterior segment findings were recorded before and after surgery. Results Resolution of the aqueous misdirection was achieved in all but one eye. The single case of recurrence was observed after a mean follow-up of 45.6 ± 21.5 months and was caused by closure of the capsule hole by Elschnig's pearls. This eye was successfully treated by enlargement of the lens capsule hole with a vitreous cutter. The mean intraocular pressure before surgery was 28.7 ± 4.4 mmHg, and this was significantly reduced to 13.7 ± 1.3 mmHg at the final visit. All but one patient, who had uveal effusion, maintained their best-corrected visual acuity. Conclusion In this study, we investigated an alternative option for the treatment of misdirection syndrome in nanophthalmic eyes. We undertook a lens capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy through a peripheral iridectomy from the anterior chamber using a 25-gauge vitreous cutter, which was able to create a communication hole between the anterior and posterior chambers.

Abstract-In the 2014 Indonesia's presidential election,the frenetic of imaging communications and persuasion fulfilled the public space and sphere, involving not only the election campaign team of each candidates but also public participations at large. Using discursive approach with Habermasian's public sphere as an analytical tool, this paper examines how political branding, the corruption of communications and the discourse of public sphere/space intersect producing what we call the communication fog. We identified some forms of communication corruption in political branding in the public sphere/space during the 2014 presidential election, including the data manipulations, twistingand distortion of meaning, black campaign and media bias. We conclude that the higher the degree of corruption of communications in the public sphere/space, the lower the degree of democracy which marks the end of the political public sphere in a country.
