GRAND PRIZE WINNER
3. This photo is of the eye of a patient with presbyopia who underwent laser cataract surgery. A multifocal IOL was captured with a combination of two vintage Zeiss and Pentax lenses.
RARE AND UNUSUAL
4. This photo shows the eye of a 23-year-old man with Von Hippel-Lindau disease. Slit-lamp examination revealed numerous free-floating polychromatic crystals and a pseudohypopyon in the anterior chamber. Funduscopy revealed the same polychromatic crystals intravitreally, angiomas along the superior blood vessels, and retinal detachment due to chronic exudation.
5. This picture depicts Lisch nodules in the eye of a patient with Von Recklinghausen disease.
GRAND PRIZE WINNER
6. This picture is of a patient with Down Syndrome who frequently rubs his eye and has significant keratoglobus. This picture was taken just prior to corneal transplantation.
SLIT LAMP
7. Two years after uneventful phacoemulsification with IOL implantation, Dr. Ahmed performed an IOL exchange with a hydrophobic IOL.
8. The patient in this photo has albinism and has undergone phacoemulsification with IOL implantation in the bag. The entire lens can be observed with retroillumination because of very little iris pigmentation.
GRAND PRIZE WINNER
9. This eye has a large, thick, persistent pupillary membrane.
SURGICAL COMPLICATIONS
GRAND PRIZE WINNER
10. A scleral-fixated glued IOL is found to be tilted 90° on postoperative day 1.
11. A 27-year-old man who underwent small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) developed an epithelial ingrowth 7 days postoperative.
12. This image shows a subluxated IOL with posterior capsular opacification.
TRAUMA
13. A 40-year-old man reported a work accident while machining iron. His right eye was penetrated by an 11-mm spike of iron.
14. This image shows a capsular tension segment sutured to the sclera 4 years after surgery to remove a traumatic cataract.
