The majority of patients had improvement or stability of VA regardless of the angiographic type of choroidal neovascularization. Intravitreal bevacizumab with this tailored regimen is beneficial in the treatment of neovascular AMD in the short term. The presence of large intraretinal cysts on optical coherence tomography is a poor prognostic factor for visual improvement with this treatment.

This is the first large sample recall of patients implanted with the Hydroview H60M IOL. The overall prevalence of IOL opacification was 14.5%, with peak prevalence in patients who had surgery in December 2000.

In both ours and the above-mentioned case, ocular penetration occurred despite the use of a Luer lock. Crossthreading of the cannula prevented it from locking into place and the force used to push fluid through the cannula caused it to 'shoot' into the eye. Following this adverse clinical event, our unit has adopted a protocol where cannulas on Luer lock syringes are checked and locked before use, by both scrub nurse and surgeon. No similar incidents have occurred in over 5000 subsequent cataract procedures. References1 Kelly SP, Astbury NJ. Patient safety in cataract surgery.
