PURPOSE Anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID) is a form of peripheral tolerance achieved via intracameral antigen inoculation. It is well known that ACAID effectively down-regulates potentially destructive immunities such as delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) at extraorbital sites. However, what has not been specifically addressed is whether local intraocular tissues are negativ...

Traumatic endophthalmitis is a devastating condition that can occur following an open globe injury and result in loss of vision. The use of prophylactic antibiotics is empirical as most surgeons fear complications associated with the same. No systematic review has been performed in English on the role of intravitreal/intracameral antibiotics in preventing traumatic endophthalmitis. We searched ...

BACKGROUND Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) error relative to intracameral intraocular pressure (IOP) has not been examined comparatively in both human cadaver eyes and in live human eyes. Futhermore, correlations to biomechanical corneal properties and positional changes have not been examined directly to intracameral IOP and GAT IOP. METHODS Intracameral IOP was measured via pressure tr...

A 16-year-old female with juvenile idiopathic arthritis presented with a one-month history of decreasing vision and increasing corneal edema in her left eye. Slit-lamp examination, keratometric measurements, and OCT evaluation led to a diagnosis of Terrien's marginal degeneration in both eyes along with a complete detachment of Descemet's membrane in the left eye and partial detachment in the r...

CASE REPORT A 22-year- old woman with an acute hydrops and Descemet membrane detachment was managed by intracameral air injection combined with multiple corneal stromal venting incisions for the drainage of intrastromal fluid. No intraoperative complications were encountered, and the intrastromal fluid was resolved over 2 weeks. DISCUSSION Acute corneal hydrops is a significant complication o...

Given the substantial increase in antimicrobial resistance among ocular pathogens worldwide, evidence-based strategies are needed to carefully analyze the risks and benefits of routine prophylactic intracameral antibiotics for prevention of infection in cataract surgery. In ophthalmology, 2 basic issues are debated frequently: (1) the effectiveness of intracameral antibiotics in lowering rates ...

We aimed to present the differential diagnosis and treatment of Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) in a patient with acute corneal edema after phacoemulsification surgery. A 52-year-old female presented our clinic visual impairment secondary DMD, which was noticed on postoperative 16th day routine surgery left eye. On day, acuity case was; 0.8 right eye from 50 cm at level counting finger. In b...
