| Abstract |
Report of three patients with pseudophakic angle-closure from a Soemmering ring. Three mechanisms of the Soemmering ring induced pseudophakic angle-closure in three patients were demonstrated by meticulous anterior segment examination and ultrasound biomicroscopic (UBM) analysis. In the first case, the Soemmering-capsule-IOL complex caused relative pupillary block similar to a phakic eye and was successfully treated with laser iridotomy alone. In the second case, an enlarged Soemmering ring provided posterior iris support in apposition to the anterior chamber angle. We performed a laser capsulotomy through the iridotomised hole. The last, a protruding Soemmering content causing absolute pupillary block became resolved after laser iridotomy and total Soemmering ring content removal. Angle-closure in pseudophakic eyes is uncommon. Several causes have been reported in the literatures including Soemmering ring. This is the first report on three different mechanisms of Soemmering ring related angle-closure in pseudophakic eyes. Ultrasound biomicroscopic analysis plays a crucial role as a diagnostic tool. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 July 2016.
All research outputs
#18,465,704
of 22,880,230 outputs
Outputs from BMC Ophthalmology
#1,543
of 2,359 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#267,468
of 352,647 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Ophthalmology
#24
of 42 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,880,230 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,359 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 352,647 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 42 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
