Purpose: To evaluate the agreement between two biometry devices, the Heidelberg Anterion and the Galilei G6 Lens Professional.
Methods: Eyes were scanned with both biometry devices. Analysis of inter-device agreement was conducted for the following metrics: flat (K1), steep (K2) and mean K (Km) for anterior, posterior and total cornea, lens thickness (LT), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), white to white (WTW) and axial length (AL).
Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) has a high incidence in the southern hemisphere. This prospective study evaluated the incidence of OSSN in the Waikato region of New Zealand. All patients presenting with pterygium or conjunctival lesions in the Waikato region in 2020 were included.

Methods: A state-wide, retrospective case series based in Queensland, Australia, was performed.
Purpose: To assess the agreement between 2 swept-source optical coherence tomography biometry devices, Anterion and IOLMaster 700.
Setting: Tertiary referral center, Brisbane, Australia.
Design: Prospective comparative study.
Purpose/aim: To evaluate the visual outcomes, refractive outcomes and rotational stability of a toric piggyback intraocular lens (1stQ AddOn, GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) for astigmatic refractive error in pseudophakic eyes.
Materials And Methods: Visual and refractive outcomes were assessed based on the standard graphs for reporting refractive surgery outcomes. Rotational stability was assessed according to the Intraocular Lens (IOL) standards of the International Organisation for Standards.
Purpose: To report the visual, refractive and tomographic outcomes following the implantation of intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) (Ferrara rings, AJL Ophthalmics, Miñano, Spain) in eyes with a history of keratoconus and corneal cross-linking using the Ferrara ring nomogram.
Methods: Retrospective, interventional case series performed at the Corneoplastics Unit, Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, United Kingdom.
Results: 21 eyes of 19 patients with a history of keratoconus and prior corneal collagen cross-linking had Ferrara Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments implanted between December 2015 and October 2017.
Purpose: To report the visual and refractive outcomes of sequential intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) and toric phakic intraocular lens (IOL) insertion for visual rehabilitation in keratoconus.
Methods: A retrospective interventional cohort study was performed through the Corneoplastics unit and Eye Bank, Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, United Kingdom.
Results: 14 eyes of 12 patients had sequential ICRS and phakic IOL implantation for visual rehabilitation of keratoconus between June 2014 and February 2018.
Purpose: To compare the visual and tomographic outcomes of epithelium-on and epithelium-off corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) in an accelerated protocol in eyes with progressive keratoconus.
Methods: Sixty-one patients with progressive keratoconus (female patients, n = 30; male patients, n = 31) aged 17 and 48 years (mean age: 25.8 ± 6.
Purpose: To assess signs of dry eye syndrome in keratoconic eyes following intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation.
Patient And Methods: Twenty eyes of 20 consecutive patients with keratoconus were assessed for tear film changes following ICRS implantation at 6 months postoperatively. Evaluated parameters included tear osmolarity, non-invasive tear breakup time test (NI-BUT test) and Schirmer test I and II before and after treatment.
Purpose: To report a case of afatinib-related bilateral ulcerative keratitis.
Methods: An 85-year-old female patient on treatment with afatinib for non-small-cell lung carcinoma presented with progressive redness, pain, and decreased vision in both eyes. Four weeks before the onset of symptoms, afatinib therapy had been commenced at a dose of 40 mg, once daily.
Purpose: To evaluate rotational stability and visual and refractive outcomes of supplementary toric IOLs (Sulcoflex Toric 653T, Rayner Intraocular Lenses Ltd) for residual astigmatic refractive error in pseudophakic eyes.
Methods: A retrospective interventional case series was conducted in a single surgeon practice. Charts of patients who had Sulcoflex Toric supplementary IOLs inserted between June 2009 and September 2015 were reviewed.
Background: Intracorneal ring segment implantation is an effective and safe method of visual improvement in patients with keratoconus. The aim of our study was to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes after Keraring implantation for keratoconus in patients older than 40 years.
Methods: Eleven eyes from 11 patients with keratoconus who underwent femtosecond laser-assisted Keraring implantation for keratoconus were included in this retrospective study.
A 72-year-old man presented with Paecilomyces keratitis subsequent to immunosuppressive treatment. Despite medical therapy with voriconazole, perforation occurred requiring a tectonic keratoplasty of 10 mm. Despite oral, topical and intracameral voriconazole, there was recurrent stromal infiltration.
