Multimodal imaging of soccer ball-related ocular posterior segment injuries.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical and anatomic characteristics of soccer ball-induced posterior segment injuries in the era of modern multi-modal imaging.

Methods: Retrospective case series of patients with soccer ball injury and diagnostic imaging from 2007 to 2020 at a single vitreoretinal practice.

Results: Eight patients met inclusion criteria.

Loss of Foveal Cone Structure Precedes Loss of Visual Acuity in Patients With Rod-Cone Degeneration.

Purpose: To assess the relationship between cone spacing and visual acuity in eyes with rod-cone degeneration (RCD) followed longitudinally.

Methods: High-resolution images of the retina were obtained using adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy from 13 eyes of nine RCD patients and 13 eyes of eight healthy subjects at two sessions separated by 10 or more months (mean 765 days, range 311-1935 days). Cone spacing Z-score measured as close as possible (average <0.

Chronic Conjunctivitis From a Retained Contact Lens.

Purpose: To help clinicians diagnose and manage unilateral recalcitrant chronic bacterial conjunctivitis secondary to a retained soft contact lens and describe the first report of Gram-negative bacteria causing this condition.

Methods: Chart review of successive cases presenting with unilateral chronic conjunctivitis with positive cultures and a retained contact lens.

Results: Three cases were identified and described.
