Gifford described it as a glaucoma associated with

A year later, Hayashi et al (10) used electron microscopy to show that the cells on the surface of hyperplastic polyps looked

ERG of eyes that had mature and

30) In patients with unilateral

Those patients whose pupil was more than or equal to 3mm in size and those without significant cataract (mature or

In some instances the Type II lesion becomes

Secondary types of glaucoma result from an identifiable factor including underlying conditions such as uveitis, vascular diseases including diabetes, central retinal vein occlusion or carotid artery obstructive disease (neovascular glaucoma), lens disorders including mature or

Regarding their development stage, they may be classified as incipient, immature, mature or

Forty-nine international cataract experts bring to practitioners the answers to questions that may have been missed in other texts and/or lectures, such as when to treat, options for treatment and intraocular lens selection, options for expansion of a small pupil, how to incorporate chopping, how to deal with a
hypermature white cataract, and use of drugs pre and post cataract surgery.
Hypermature cataracts create inflammation (uveitis), causing pain, eye redness, and pupil constriction.
