Chronic lacrimal canaliculitis - the answer to a three-year history of red eye.

Chronic lacrimal canaliculitis is a rare infection of the lacrimal system, and can lead to misdiagnosis due to its overlapping presentation to other common entities. The authors report a case of lacrimal canaliculitis with a three-year history of recurrent unilateral red eye and mucopurulent discharge. Here, we describe the clinical course, surgical details, and microbial analysis of canaliculitis infection.

Secondary Epiretinal Membrane After Trabeculectomy.

Purpose: To determine the frequency of epiretinal membranes (ERM) in eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma subjected to trabeculectomy.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on patients subjected to trabeculectomy with at least a 6-month follow-up. Ophthalmologic examination and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) were analyzed.

Intraocular Pressure in Eyes Receiving Intravitreal Antivascular Endothelial Growth Factor Injections.

Purpose: The aim of the this study was to determine the effect of intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor injections on intraocular pressure (IOP) and identify possible risk factors for the development of increased IOP.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study included a total of 106 eyes receiving intravitreal injection of bevacizumab as treatment for macular edema or active choroidal neovascularization. IOP was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry immediately before the intravitreal injection and 5 min, 1 h and 15 days after the procedure.

Choroidal Thickness in Nonarteritic Anterior Ischaemic Optic Neuropathy: A Study with Optical Coherence Tomography.

Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NA-AION) is the most common nonglaucomatous optic neuropathy in adults over 50 years of age. It is usually related to cardiovascular risk factors. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate choroidal thickness in patients with chronic NA-AION, and the secondary objective was to evaluate macular thickness in these patients.
