Functional outcomes of canalicular laceration repair with self-retaining masterka stent in a tertiary eye care center in France: A retrospective study of 30 patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term functional outcomes of canalicular laceration repair using the Masterka® monocanalicular intubation system.

Methods: this interventional case series included the data from 30 patients who underwent canalicular laceration repair with a 30-mm pushed monocanalicular stent (Masterka®) and suturing of the lacerated canaliculus with 8/0 Vicryl interrupted sutures. Operative details and complications were meticulously noted.

Incidence and characteristics of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment during coronavirus-19 pandemic: A French study.

Purpose: To assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown on the number and clinical characteristics of patients with retinal detachment (RD) in a French public university eye hospital.

Methods: Single-center, retrospective non-interventional study. Patients consulting at the emergency room (ER) of Quinze-Vingts Hospital (France) for rhegmatogenous RD before and after instauration of the lockdown were reviewed.

Eyelid Chemical Burns: A Multidisciplinary And Challenging Approach.

During second- and third-degree eyelid sulfuric acid burns, many surgeons prefer to wait until primary wound separation occurs before grafting. However, this approach may miss the chance to recover the eyelids and can cause ectropion, resulting in delayed eyeball healing with exposure keratitis. We propose that early eyelid release and grafting makes a significant difference in long-term outcomes and improves eyeball healing.
