Management of postkeratoplasty astigmatism by paired arcuate incisions with compression sutures.

Purpose: To analyse the efficacy of paired arcuate incisions and compression sutures technique in the management of post penetrating keratoplasty (PK) astigmatism.

Methods: A paired arcuate incision with compression sutures procedure was used to treat 26 eyes with post-PK astigmatism ranging from 6.00 to 16.

To posture or not to posture after macular hole surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the anatomic and functional success of phacovitrectomy and intraocular gas tamponade for macular hole surgery with only first night face down posturing.

Methods: This was a nonrandomized observational prospective trial over 9 months, with data collection on 28 eyes of 26 consecutive patients who underwent phacovitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peel, and intraocular gas tamponade (C2F6) for stage 2, 3, and 4 macular holes. Data included sex, age, hole latency and Gass stage, preoperative and postoperative visual acuity and ocular coherence tomography, refractive outcome, ocular comorbidity, first postoperative day gas fill, and intraocular pressure.

Small choroidal melanocytic lesions: features predictive of growth.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical features at presentation of small choroidal melanocytic lesions that were predictive of growth.

Design: Retrospective observational case series.

Participants: A cohort of 240 patients with a presumptive diagnosis of small choroidal melanocytic lesions who were observed to document growth before treatment.
