Postoperative wound infection and corneal graft rejection are examples of possible suture related complications. To prevent these complications, ophthalmic surgeons are switching to sutureless surgery.

Design: Prospective, nonrandomized, interventional series.
Methods: In this prospective evaluation, 25 patients with OSSN with different clock hours of involvement (range, one to eight), age varying from 19 to 76 years, were treated with topical MMC 0.
Purpose: To report the use of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas in the management of corneal edema caused by acute corneal hydrops secondary to keratoconus.
Methods: Nine eyes with acute hydrops secondary to keratoconus managed by SF6 gas injected into the anterior chamber (group 1) were compared to another 9 eyes that were managed conservatively with conventional medical therapy (group 2).
Results: Of 9 eyes in group 1, 3 had 1 injection, 4 had 2 injections, and the remaining 2 had 3 injections into the anterior chamber.
Purpose: To determine the predisposing factors, special clinical manifestations and the management of presumed microbial ulcerative keratitis.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed in 1000 eyes of 1000 patients with presumed microbial keratitis. Information was recorded on patients' age and gender, risk factors, seasonal presentation, number of days since initiation of ulcer, prior therapy, clinical presentation, microbiological work-up and case management.
