Calcification of intraocular hydrogel lens: evidence of dystrophic calcification

Purpose: To report and describe the surface calcification of three cases of implanted intraocular hydrogel lens.

Orbital inflammation in a patient with extrascleral spread of choroidal malignant melanoma

An elderly woman presented with fever, dehydration, orbital inflammation, total external and internal ophthalmoplegia and blindness, resembling the clinical appearance at presentation of severe orbital inflammatory disease or mucormycosis. Orbital computed tomography scanning demonstrated a retrobulbar orbital mass. Subsequent B‐scan ultrasound examination confirmed the orbital mass but also demonstrated a mass within the eye. At lateral orbitotomy, extrascleral spread of an entirely necrotic intraocular melanoma was demonstrated. As computed tomography scanning may not be able to delineate an entirely necrotic intraocular malignant melanoma, B‐scan ultrasonography should be considered in patients with orbital inflammation, especially in the presence of a retrobulbar mass.

Expulsive choroidal haemorrhage—A clinical and pathological review

This paper describes two cases of expulsive choroidal haemorrhage (ECH) where the final corrected visual acuity was 6/5. The management of one case consisted simply of vitrectomy; and the other of suprachoroidal drainage of blood followed by vitrectomy. The pathological findings in a series of eyes enucleated following ECH are also described. The literature is reviewed with regard to the aetiology, pathology and management of ECH.
