Abstract
Results One week after right diagnostic core 23-gauge PPV her visual acuity (V.A.) was 20/25 and 20/50 in the R.E. and L.E., respectively (Fig 4). After one month gross vitreous opacities limited her V.A. to 20/50 in the R.E. Seven months later 23-gauge complete PPV and IOL implantation was performed in the L.E., where preoperative V.A. was 20/200. One week after PPV her left V.A. reached 20/25, and amyloid deposits layered onto the macula and scattered in the vitreous cavity were found in both eyes (Fig.5). In the L.E V.A. decreased to 20/70 seven months later; IOP never exceeded 20mmHg. In the R.E. severe ocular hypertension was controlled with a fixed combination of dorzolamide and timolol , and eventually amyloid material in the anterior chamber was found (Fig.6); her right V.A. ended in counting fingers owing to glaucomatous optic atrophy (Fig.5),
