| first step on an iPhone app |
|
I've been working on writing an IOL calculator for the iPhone, but had to learn how to write objective-c first. Here's my first attempt at a program with xcode. I still have to clean up the significant digits and a textbox for target postop refraction. Sadly, all these programs are only for my personal use because of trademark and licensing issues.

I've posted a few times on this but this is the first patient in my practice that wanted to change medications to get her eyelashes to grow. The right eye has been on Lumigan for five or six months and the left eye is well-controlled following SLT. The patient wants to start using Lumigan in her left eye just for the side-effect. Luckily, she isn't having any periorbital skin pigmentation or iris changes.

Man, I've had a lot of these recently. The first photo shows a case from last month where I needed SIX hooks to keep the iris in place, and that was with a subincisional hook to control the iris below the wound. You can still see the hexagonal pupil here but it has since resolved to a round pupil. The second photo is straight through the microscope eyepiece with a digital camera, just to see if it could be done; I placed four hooks in a diamond configuation but had to add one under the paracentesis.

| Combined cilioretinal artery occlusion with central retinal vein occlusion |
|
Rare, but there have been a few case reports and one case series published. I think that the macula has some patchy ischemic retinal whitening (PIRW) in this young patient.
