Claude Monet

Purpose: The change in Monets later paintings can be interpreted as effect of
proceeding cataract as well as the fact that he repainted some of his paintings
he completed after he underwent cataract surgery. This poster shows the
influence of cataract progression in Monets later work.
Methods: Investigation of primary and secondary source material. Examination
of work by the artist for evaluating the influence of cataract in his later art work.
Results: Monet died in 1926 aged 86 then. He had undergone cataract surgery
three years before. It is known that Monet destroyed, respectively repainted
some of his pieces finished shortly before, as he was appalled by the colours
he had used, estimating these as “cold†then. Progression in loss of
details and changing of colours used due to proceeding cataract are tracked
down in a selection of Monets paintings of water lilies.
Conclusion: In later paintings of Claude Monet the impact of cataract can easily
be observed: A loss in details and the preference for yellow and brown colours
can be seen. As Monet was a very prolific painter we have the chance to notice
cataract progression influencing a great painters perception.

Objective: To compare final visual outcome in cases of surgically treated
traumatic cataract amongst Open globe and Closed globe groups classified
according to Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology System.
Methods: We enrolled patients with specific inclusion criteria, examined their
eyes to review the co-morbidities due to trauma, performed surgery for
traumatic cataracts, and implanted a lens. The patients were re-examined 6
weeks postoperatively. We divided the cases of traumatic cataract into two
groups, the ‘open (Group 1) and ‘closed (Group 2) groups, according to the
ocular trauma based on the Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology System
(BETTS) and compared the determinants of visual acuity.
Result: Our cohort of 687 eyes with traumatic cataracts included 496 eyes in
Group 1 and 191 in Group 2. Six weeks postoperatively, the visual acuity in the
operated eye was >20/60 in 298 (58%) and 75 (39.1%) eyes in Groups 1 and 2,
respectively (p = 0.000, ANOVA). At follow-up, >20/60 vision was significantly
higher in Group 1 than in Group 2 (OR = 1.61; 95% CI, 0.85–3.02). Overall 373
(54.3%) eyes gained final visual acuity >20/60.
Conclusions: Open globe injury has a favorable prognosis for satisfactory
(>20/60) visual recovery after management of traumatic cataracts.

TriMics: A New MICS Method to Control the Astigmatism
Bovet Jerome (1)
1. OnO Clinique de l›Oeil
Purpose: To demonstate the surgical induction of corneal astigmatism after
TriMICS and CoMics.
Methods: Micro incision cataracte was done with the triMICS technique through
a 1.1 mm incision and an Akreos MI60 (Bausch and Lomb) was implanted
though a 1.9 mm incision in a corneoscleral technique. Compare to a CoMICS
technique through a 1.7 mm incision and an Akreos MI60 (Bausch and
Lomb) was implanted though a 1.7 mm incision in a dock technique Pre- and
postoperative astigmatism was evaluated with the Pentacam AR and pre- and
postoperative UCVA and BCVA was documented.
Results: The first results suggest that the triMICS technique does not induce
any astigmatism and is therefore able to improve the predictability and precision
of Microincision catracte surgery according to our ACVA and BCVA results.
Conclusion: TriMICS seem to be a perfect match to not induce astigmatism
surgery.

Objectives: To correlate Vision with Clinical and Fluorescein Angiogram
pictures in macular disorders.
Methods: Consecutive patients of Macular disorders were recruited. Visual
function tests, fundus evaluation by indirect ophthalmoscope and slit lamp
biomicroscopy using +90D lens, and fluorescein angiography (FFA) was done.
Results: 129 eyes of 101 patients with macular disorders were included . All
eyes with Central serous retinopathy (CSR), Macular edema and macular hole
eyes had vision of 6/60 or better. 77% of eyes with CSR, 63.7% of Cystoid
macular edema(CME), had abnormal Amslers. Abnormal Photo stress was
recorded in CSR, CME and Macular Edema patients. In 32.1% of eyes
with visual acuity of 6/18 or better macular edema was detected by slitlamp
biomicroscopy. 64.3% of the eyes in which edema was not detected had vision
less than 6/60. 90% of eyes with better visual acuity (>6/18) had abnormal FFA
compared to 69.2% with abnormal FFA in eyes with vision of less than 1/60.
