the present study aims to report a case of conjunctival necrosis and scleritis due to a subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonate. a 15-year-old boy received a subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonate after a pars plana vitrectomy due to an intraocular foreign body. seven days later, conjunctival necrosis and scleritis appeared at the site of injection. no improvement was seen after se...

BACKGROUND This study reports two cases of conjunctival granuloma with necrosis caused by an exposed suture in the upper palpebral conjunctiva masquerading as ocular surface squamous neoplasia. CASE PRESENTATION Two patients presented with chronic conjunctival ulcerative and granulomatous lesions on the superior bulbar conjunctiva that repeatedly recurred after the mass was removed. The patho...

Objective To describe the use of subconjuctival administration anti-tumor necrosis factor agent adalimumab for treatment dry eye in patients with Sjögren’s syndrome, and to investigate conjunctival healing. Methods Prospective, nonrandomized, noncomparative interventional case series including consecutive syndrome disease treated subconjunctival adalimumab, who were refractory conventional trea...

Based on previous findings that ozone can induce an inflammatory response in the ocular surface of an animal model and in cultured human conjunctival epithelial cells, we investigated whether exposure to ozone exacerbates symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. We evaluated the effects of exposure to ozone on conjunctival chemosis, conjunctival injection, corneal and conjunctival fluorescein stain...

BACKGROUND Differential expression of chemokine genes were investigated in various types of ocular surface cells. METHODS Primary cultures of human corneal epithelial cells (n = 3), corneal fibroblasts (n = 2), conjunctival epithelial cells (n = 2) and conjunctival fibroblasts (n = 2) were established and incubated with or without interleukin (IL)-4 (30ng/ml) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a...

OBJECTIVES To compare expression of interleukin (IL)-1β and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the conjunctiva of diabetic and non-diabetic patients with symptomatic moderate dry eye. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Nineteen diabetic patients with dry eye, 15 non-diabetic patients with dry eye and 14 diabetic patients without dry eye were recruited. The relative expression of IL-1β and TNF-α in conju...
