Prevalence and characteristics of peripheral retinal degeneration in Chinese adults with high myopia: a cross-sectional prevalence survey.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to study the prevalence of peripheral retinal findings in adult Chinese patients with high myopia (refraction < or = -6.00 D) and to investigate the correlation between the retinal lesions and the severity of myopia or axial length.

Methods: A cross-sectional prevalence survey screening was conducted in high ethnic Chinese myopes with refractions equal to or less than -6.

Successful treatment of surgically induced necrotizing scleritis with tacrolimus.

A 46-year-old man developed surgically induced necrotizing scleritis (SINS) 7 months following uneventful primary bare sclera pterygium excision. The patient underwent two scleral patch grafts for SINS but despite the use of cyclophosphamide and azathioprine, the scleral patch grafts failed within 1 month of surgery on both occasions. Tacrolimus was used for his third scleral patch graft.

Orthokeratology lens-related corneal ulcers in children: a case series.

Objective: Orthokeratology is a process by which the corneal curvature is flattened by sequentially fitting rigid gas permeable contact lenses of decreasing central curvature. There has been a resurgence of interest with the recent introduction of reverse geometry lenses. Although promising results have been described in reducing the myopic refractive error, the use of these lenses can be associated with corneal problems, as reported in this case series.

Orthokeratology lens-related Pseudomonas aeruginosa infectious keratitis.

Purpose: To report a case of orthokeratology lens-related Pseudomonas corneal ulcer in an adult.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 37-year-old man presented with a 1-day history of painful red eye.

Bilateral peripheral corneal infiltrates after simultaneous myopic laser in situ keratomileusis.

We describe a patient with multiple superior corneal infiltrates in both eyes, separated from the limbus by an intervening clear zone, that appeared 1 day after uneventful laser in situ keratomileusis. The overlying epithelium was intact, and the flap and interface were uninvolved. Based on these features, a clinical diagnosis of sterile corneal infiltrates was made and the eyes were treated with topical antibiotics and steroids.
