We demonstrate that a high positive response (71.5%) can be obtained from the donor's family when a trained and motivated group manages the post-mortem cornea donation request.

ABSTRACT.A descriptive case series of five patients identified either opportunistically or from a retrospective review of the laser register is presented. All underwent cataract surgery between 1995 and 1999 and required initial Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy 15-30 months after surgery. They subsequently developed reclosure of the capsulotomy, necessitating repeat laser capsulotomy 11-82 months later. One patient, who received a hydrogel intraocular lens, required a third capsulotomy after a further 12 months. The rate of repeat Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy in our unit was 0.31%.

SummaryA previously healthy 37-year-old woman presented with decreased vision in the right eye, noted suddenly during childbirth. Fundus examination revealed elevation at the right macula, and optical coherence tomography confirmed central serous chorioretinopathy in the right eye. No intervention was undertaken, and the symptoms and clinical findings resolved spontaneously over 2 months. BACKGROUND
