Thirty-eight patients with urethral injury treated during the period from January 1962 to August 1964 have been studied in particular reference to sexual ability following injury and the results are summarized as follows: 1. The incidence of urethral injury was 6.8% of the total inpatients and the average in age was 23.8 years. Twenty-three cases (61.5%) were accompanied by pelvic fracture. 2. The incidence of impotence following injury was 47%, 36.4% temporary and 11.0% permanent. 3. Of 14 cases of temporary impotence, urethral injury was accompanied by pelvic fracture in 11 and all 4 cases of permanent impotence followed urethral injury accompanied by pelvic fracture. 4. Of fourteen cases of temporary impotence, previous urethral injury was complete in 6 and incomplete. in 8. Four cases of permanent impotence followed 3 complete urethral injury and one incomplete urethral rupture. 5. The average interval between the reception of trauma and the recognition of impotence was 3 to 5 months.

During the last decade, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation(BMT) has become the treatment of choice in severe aplastic anemia and many types of leukemia. However, there are several complications such as Graft-vs-Host Disease(GVHD), infection, Host-vs-Graft Reaction(HVGR). One of the most serious late complications of BMT is GVHD. This immunological reaction is reportedly caused by donor T lymphocytes reacting against incompatible minor transplantation antigens in host tissue. The clinical manifestation of GVHD involves the skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver and mucosal membranes in the mouth and eyes. One of the most frequent ocular complication after BMT is the "dry eye syndrome" which involves conjunctiva, cornea and the lacrimal glands. The "dry eye" is characterized by subjective symptoms such as pain, foreign body sensation and decreased vision. The epithelial degeneration, due to reduced tear production and alteration in the tear film, creates dry spots and increased mucus strands and debris. We present an analysis of ocular manifestation of 27 out of 81 bone marrow transplanted patients for hematologic malignancies(HM) and severe aplastic anemia(SAA) from March 1983 to January, 1990 at St. Mary's Hospital. The results were as follows: 1) 16 out of 27(59%) BMT patients developed GVHD and 14 out of 27(52%) BMT patients developed dry eyes; 2) 11 out of 16(68%) patients with GVHD developed dry eyes; whereas, 3 out of 11(27%) patients without GVHD developed dry eyes(P<0.05); 3) Four out of 10(40%) patients with a GVHD developed dry eys, whereas 7 out of 11(64%) patients with cGVHD developed dry eyes.

PURPOSE: To evaluate near, intermediate, and distant vision, optical quality, and patient satisfaction with Acri.LISA aspheric diffractive multifocal IOL. METHODS: Forty eyes of 20 patients received phacoemulsification and implantation of Acri.LISA IOL. Visual acuity was measured postoperatively at 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months. Contrast sensitivity, wavefront aberration, and visual function via questionnaire were measured at postoperative 1 month. RESULTS: Uncorrected near, intermediate, and distanct visual acuity at 1 month were 0.09 +/- 0.14, 0.29 +/- 0.17 and 0.11 +/- 0.12, respectively. At 6 months, similar visual acuity results were measured. Total and higher-order wavefront aberration values were 0.66 +/- 0.29 and 0.24 +/- 0.08, respectively. Photopic contrast sensitivity at 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles/degree were 1.38 +/- 0.32, 1.73 +/- 0.24, 1.75 +/- 0.21, 1.33 +/- 0.18, and 0.77 +/- 23, respectively, and mesopic contrast sensitivity values were 1.37 +/- 0.27, 1.72 +/- 0.16, 1.63 +/- 0.14, 1.01 +/- 0.19, and 0.50 +/- 0.22. Total subjective visual function score was 3,127 +/- 354, near work was 244 +/- 36, distance work was 256 +/- 21, and night driving was 221 +/- 42. CONCLUSIONS: The Acri.LISA 366D multifocal IOL can be effective for improving patient satisfaction after cataract surgery as well as for presbyopia correction.

5.Clinical Results of Radial Keratotomy in High Myopia.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1991;32(8):614-622
Anterior radial keratotomy for high myopia (over -6.25 diopter) to reduce the refractive error was not able to dispense with glasses or contact lenses due to high myopia itself. However they could see the objects well and be free of a dizziness with wearing a relatively reduced power of glasses. Authors had performed on anterior radial keratotomy for 239 high myopic and/or astigmatic eyes of 143 patients at Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital between Nov. 1984 and Dec. 1990. Eight radial lines cut with diamond blade was performed and Ruiz technique was added for the astigmatism over 2.0 diopters. The depth of incision was 90 to 95% of corneal thickness and the optical zone was 3mm in diameter. Most of patients were followed up on postoperative 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and thereafter. Uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better after radial keratotomy could be obtained in 19.2% of high myopic eyes. In addition, mean reduction of spherical equivalent of cycloplegic refraction and keratometric reading after radial keratotomy were 5.1 diopters and 3.85 diopters, respectively. About 90% of patients were satisfied with their visual outcome with reduced refractive power of glasses. We recommend radial keratotomy on high myopic patients to reduce the refractive power and to enjoy a comfortable life.

6.Radial keratotomy for the purpose of reducing glasses power in high myopia.
Korean Journal of Ophthalmology 1992;6(2):83-90
Anterior radial keratotomy for high myopia (over-6.25 diopter) to reduce refractive error was not able to dispense with glasses or contact lenses due to the high myopia itself. However patients could see objects well and were free of dizziness while wearing glasses of relatively reduced power. We performed anterior radial keratotomies on 83 high myopic and/or astigmatic eyes of 47 patients at Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital between May 1990 and Mar. 1991. Eight radial incisions with a diamond blade were performed and the Ruiz technique was added for astigmatism of over 2.0 diopters. The depth of incision was 90 to 95% of corneal thickness and the optical zone was 3mm in diameter. Patients were followed up on postoperative 7 days. 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and thereafter. Uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better after radial keratotomy could be obtained in 19.6% of high myopic eyes. A mean reduction of the spherical equivalent cycloplegic refraction of 5.13 diopters and a keratometric reading of 3.89 diopters after radial keratotomy were observed. About 90% of patients were satisfied with their visual outcome with reduced refractive power glasses. We recommend radial keratotomy for high myopic patients to reduce the refractive power and to help them enjoy a more comfortable life.

The orbital rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of the orbit in childhood. It was first described in 1854 by Weber and has been increased possibly due to improvement of diagnostic procedures. A 7-year-old boy with the complaints of proptosis and visual disturbance coincidently had an ocular trauma. Incision and drainage of intraorbital hematoma was performed in the right orbit which was confirmed with orbital CT scan. Microscopic findings showed ovoid and spindle shaped rhabdoblasts, hyperchromatic nuclei, and characteristic cross striation in the cytoplasm of the giant cells. He was diagnosed as embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. The intraorbital hematoma and surrounding tissue in the right orbit were excised and the right eye was enucleated. He received chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 2018;59(5):484-490
PURPOSE: To report a case of irregular astigmatism caused by a free flap during laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery that was treated with a flap rotation based on postoperative topography. CASE SUMMARY: A 21-year-old female underwent LASIK, which was complicated by a free cap on her right eye. Because the gentian violet markings were no longer present, the exact orientation of the cap was unknown. At 3 months after surgery, the astigmatism of the right eye was −3.00 diopters (D) with an uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 0.4, and the astigmatism of the left eye was −0.75 D with an UCVA of 1.0. The corneal topography was analyzed in order to return to the existing position. Free cap repositioning was performed and irregular astigmatism was corrected to improve the UCVA to 1.0. CONCLUSIONS: If the preoperative markings cannot be identified on a free flap during LASIK, secondary postoperative corneal topographic analysis can be performed to restore the corneal free flap to its original position to minimize astigmatism with good visual outcomes.

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 2020;61(11):1265-1272
Purpose:
To compare the accuracy of standard and total keratometry data obtained using the Barrett Universal II and Barrett Toric Calculator.
Methods:
In total, 111 eyes of 111 patients who visited our hospital for cataract surgery from February 2019 to September 2019 were included in this study. Total keratometry and standard keratometry data were obtained using the Barrett Universal II and the Barrett Toric Calculator; mean absolute errors were derived by using preoperative IOL Master 700® (Carl Zeiss Meditech AG, Jena, Germany) data and 2-month postoperative manifest refraction data. The mean absolute errors of the two methods were compared in terms of a posterior corneal astigmatism greater than 0.3 diopter (D) in patients fitted with Toric intraocular lenses.
Results:
Using the Barrett Universal II formula, the mean absolute error spherical equivalent difference between total keratometry and standard keratometry was 0.021 ± 0.102 D (p = 0.65) when the Barrett Toric Calculator was used. The mean absolute error differences between the two methods were 0.015 ± 0.121 D for the spherical equivalent (p = 0.80) and 0.005 ± 0.870 D for the cylinder measurement (p = 0.94). In terms of a posterior corneal astigmatism greater than 0.3 D, the mean absolute error spherical equivalent and cylinder measurement differences were -0.020 ± 0.107 D (p = 0.70) and -0.023 ± 0.055 D (p = 0.50) in patients fitted with Toric intraocular lenses.
Conclusions
The total keratometry method, which directly measures posterior corneal curvature, yields data comparable to those of the standard keratometry method. When the posterior corneal astigmatism was greater than 0.3 D, we found no significant difference between the total keratometry and standard keratometry data of patients fitted with Toric intraocular lenses.
