We report a rare case of association of temporal arteritis with recurrent central corneal ulcer. A 91-year-old male with a remote history of clinically diagnosed giant cell arteritis (GCA) and penetrating keratoplasty (PK) for corneal edema in 1990’s in the left eye presented with irritation and severe dry eye. He progressively developed central corneal ulcer regardless of treatment with aggres...

BACKGROUND To report a case of interface fluid syndrome (IFS) following small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) evaluated with corneal densitometry and optical coherence tomography (OCT). CASE PRESENTATION An 18-year-old man reported sudden vision loss 24 days after SMILE procedure. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 36.3 mmHg (OD) and 36.7 mmHg (OS) by noncontact tonometry. Moderate corneal ...

Purpose: To report a rare case of acute red eye in contact lens user.Case summary: An 18-year-old female presented with decreased visual acuity and ocular pain the right for 4 days. The patient had used lenses > 8 hours day, even while sleeping at night, past 3 months. Corneal epithelial edema punctate stromal infiltration along diffuse conjunctival hyperemia corneal limbal injection were ob...

Background: The optic nerve damage with the ultimate loss of vision resulting from a clutch diseases named Glaucoma. In many conditions including, corneal dystrophies, edema, and endothelial cornea, important biometric is Central thickness (CCT). Objective: To find difference in mean CCT spectral-domain optical coherence tomography ultrasound pachymetry patients presenting Material & Method...

Abstract Corneal neovascularization (CNV) causes higher-order aberrations, corneal edema, ocular inflammation, and transplant rejection, thereby decreasing visual acuity. In this study, we investigated the effects of topical administration kappa opioid receptor agonist nalfurafine (TRK-820) on CNV. To induce CNV, intrastromal sutures were placed stroma BALB/c mice for 2 weeks. Nalfurafine (0.1 ...

Purpose: We report a case with bilateral, ocular inflammatory adverse reactions developing few hours after COVID-19 vaccination.Case summary: A 70-year-old woman complained of headache and sudden visual impairment (both eyes) vaccination (Astrazeneca). She had undergone bilateral cataract surgery 4 days before her eyesight was good immediately surgery. The best-corrected acuities (BCVA) were 0....

PURPOSE To examine the hypothesis that the corneal overnight swelling response (ONSR) is a predictor of ocular complications in contact lens extended wear (EW). METHODS The Berkeley Contact Lens Extended Wear Study (CLEWS) was a randomized, concurrently controlled clinical trial in which more than 200 subjects in EW with rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses were observed for 1 year. After adaptin...

BACKGROUND Cataract extraction is the most common intraocular surgery taught to residents. AIM This study aims to review the complications of trainee-performed extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) so as to identify the steps in which the trainee can benefit from closer supervision and practice. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This was a descriptive retrospective study of complications in the initi...
