We report two cases of bacterial keratitis caused by Capnocytophaga, a genus of capnophilic Gram negative bacilli. Both responded to topical and subconjunctival clindamycin.

INTRODUCTION In this report, we describe the case of a patient with ocular chemical injury, symblepharon, and corneal neovascularization in whom subconjunctival injection of bevacizumab caused regression of corneal opacification and neovascularization, which led to visual improvement. CASE PRESENTATION A 54-year-old Caucasian woman presented at our eye emergency department following a splash ...

Cysticercosis is caused by the larval stage of Taenia solium. Ocular involvement of cysticercosis is known and often misdiagnosed clinically.

A study was made in rabbits of the effect of topical dexamethasone ointment, .05%, and either subconjunctival or intraperitoneal D-penicillamine on the duration of function of glaucoma filtering surgery. The drugs were tested alone and in combination. Intraperitoneal D-penicillamine was not effective, either alone or combined with topical dexamethasone. Topical dexamethasone ointment alone and ...

OBJECTIVE To determine associated conditions, gender distribution and location of subconjunctival hemorrhage (SCH). METHODOLOGY This retrospective, observational and non-interventional study involved total of 50 patients with SCH aged 0.16-88 years. The conjunctiva was divided into 4 equal areas. The data about the subjects with SCH that includes age, gender, medical history, ocular history a...

to evaluate corneal endothelial cell changes after intravitreal and subconjunctival injection of avastin (bevacizumab) based on specular microscopic findings.  this prospective interventional study was performed on 82 eyes of 82 patients. forty-two cases with ptrygia received a subconjunctival injection of bevacizumab (2.5mg/0.2ml) and 40 diabetic subjects with retinal neovascularization or mac...

This case series of 16 patients demonstrates the postoperative complications associated with continued clopidogrel use and intraocular surgery. No intraocular or postoperative complications were noted but a 25% risk of subconjunctival haemorrhage following subtenons anaesthesia was noted.
