Article Synopsis
The Xen gel stent is a minimally invasive glaucoma surgical implant designed to decrease intraocular pressure (IOP) by creating an aqueous outflow path into the subconjunctival space. Since FDA approval, it has demonstrated good safety and efficacy data; however, there are multiple reports of Xen stent occlusions with debris from the anterior chamber. Herein, we report a case of a Descemet's membrane Xen stent occlusion in a 67-year-old woman with a past medical history of primary open angle glaucoma who underwent Xen stent placement through the ab externo approach.

Design: Experimental study.
Subjects: Brown Norway rats and New Zealand White Cross rabbits.
Article Synopsis
- Congenital eyelid imbrication syndrome is a rare condition where the upper eyelid overlaps the lower eyelid when the eyes are shut, with very few documented cases in medical literature.
- The case presented involves a patient with both trisomy 21 and tetralogy of Fallot who was receiving a prostaglandin E1 infusion to keep a heart duct open before surgery.
- The patient experienced eyelid swelling and related symptoms, which improved after stopping the prostaglandin E1 treatment, highlighting a potential link between the medication and the eyelid condition.
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between limited English proficiency (LEP) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients presenting for cataract surgery.
Methods: This is a retrospective observational study of patients who underwent cataract surgery between January 2014 and February 2020. Patients who self-identified as needing or preferring an interpreter were defined as having LEP.
Purpose: To determine differences in cataract surgery outcomes between English proficient (EP) and limited English proficiency (LEP) patients.
Setting: Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Eye Center, Aurora, Colorado.
Design: Retrospective.
Background: Non-infectious intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis (NIIPPU) represent a heterogenous collection of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders isolated to or concentrated in the posterior structures of the eye. Because NIIPPU is typically a chronic condition, people with NIIPPU frequently require treatment with steroid-sparing immunosuppressive therapy. Methotrexate, mycophenolate, cyclosporine, azathioprine, and tacrolimus are non-biologic, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) which have been used to treat people with NIIPPU.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective observational study was performed using records of patients who underwent cataract surgery (2014 to 2018) who were included in a Cataract Surgery Outcomes database. Any patient with documentation of thyroid eye disease (TED) in the medical record was classified as TED.
