Mission Impossible - PDR, Retained Lens Fragment, and Cadaver Bone IOFB
by Nathan Radcliffe MD, Szilard Kiss, MD
A 64 year old monocular Russian man returns from the Ukraine with severe inflammation and decreased vision in his only eye. He has a history of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and a cataract. An IOFB is determined to be a cadaver bone implanted for glaucoma filtration. On top of that, the patient has retained lens material and a sulcus IOL. Szilard Kiss, MD; Nathan Radcliffe, MD; tackle this seemingly impossible mission.

Fantastic video! Let us know IOP and VA pre- and postop. :-)
Mission impossible? Was he 20/20 at the end? Lots of Hollywood glitz and no conclusion.
it would be interesting to know clinical ending features after all surgical procedures... basically, what was the final VA and IOP ?
Please avoid doing more of these videos with the theme music. Cute for the first 30 seconds then rather painful. Get to the point.
what?- you dont put bone in the eye?
Great video! How in the world did this patient get sent out looking like that from Ukraine?
the lack of a va at the end makes me suspect that the vision is hand motion. oh well. but i admire the skill and the surgeon is commended for a very nice-looking eye. and the music is great, of course- what a great theme.
