Rapid keratitis and perforation after corneal collagen cross-linking.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep
June 2020
Purpose: To describe a case of rapid keratitis and corneal perforation after epithelium off collagen cross-linking.
Observations: We report a case of a 17-year-old male who underwent collagen cross-linking with the protocol and device approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that developed a corneal infiltrate 3 days after the procedure. He later developed corneal thinning and perforation on day 5 requiring the use of cyanoacrylate glue and a Kontur lens.
Purpose: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), disposable Goldmann applanation prism, ICare, and Tonopen.
Materials And Methods: A total of 74 patients with varying glaucoma status were examined in our outpatient clinic and IOP was measured with 3 tonometers. The disposable Tonojet prism (dGAT), Tonopen XL, and ICare ic100 were compared with the GAT.
Purpose: To report 2 cases of spontaneous Descemet membrane (DM) detachment 20 years after penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of 2 patients was performed.
Results: Two male patients-ages 59 and 50-presented 21 and 25 years, respectively, after uncomplicated penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus, complaining of foreign body sensation.
Purpose: To describe 7 patients with paraproteinemic keratopathy and to highlight the clinical and pathologic diversity of this rare entity and the importance of timely, systemic evaluation.
Design: Retrospective, multicenter collaborative case series.
Participants: Seven patients with paraproteinemic keratopathy.
The Association of Demodex with Chalazia: A Histopathologic Study of the Eyelid.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
February 2017
Purpose: To investigate the association of Demodex with chalazia and to describe the associated histopathologic changes in the eyelid tissue.
Methods: In a retrospective histopathologic case-control study, 78 ectropion/entropion repair eyelid wedge resections were examined. Serial sections were obtained on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues, stained with hematoxylin-eosin and studied by light microscopy.
Purpose: To evaluate the recurrence rate of ocular surface squamous neoplasias (OSSN) after excision and cryotherapy in an academic cornea practice and to determine factors associated with recurrence.
Design: Retrospective interventional case series.
Methods: All cases of OSSN from 1998 through 2013 that were treated with excisional biopsy and adjunctive cryotherapy were retrospectively reviewed.
Purpose: The aim was to describe a geographically and clinically diverse sample of cases of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) and establish the risk factors for poor outcomes among patients with this disease.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, population-based case series of 116 patients with AK identified through a national surveillance network. Data were collected via a medical record review by diagnosing ophthalmologists and by phone interviews with patients.
Purpose: To report the first case series of patients with Fuchs corneal endothelial dystrophy (FCD) and keratoconus (KCN) who underwent Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK).
Methods: This is a retrospective case series of 6 eyes of 4 patients with combined FCD and KCN who underwent DSEK at 3 different centers. Clinical information collected included corneal topography measurements, central corneal thickness, and endothelial cell count.
Objective: To evaluate and compare the cumulative incidence and risk factors for first-episode immunologic graft rejection in Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and to identify potential risk factors for rejection.
Design: Retrospective chart review.
Participants: All patients who underwent PK or DSAEK for endothelial disease at the Department of Ophthalmology, North Shore LIJ, between January 2004 and June 2010.
Purpose: Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) has its own set of complications including interface abnormalities. This case series presents the largest number of patients who developed textural interface opacity (TIO) at the graft-host interface after DSAEK.
Methods: This is a retrospective multicenter case series of 30 patients from 7 institutions with the finding of TIO.
Purpose: To report 2 patients with progressive complex choristomas and to review the literature on this subject.
Design: Interventional case reports.
Methods: Clinical and pathologic correlation was performed on 2 patients with progressive epibulbar choristomas.
Purpose: To review 12 cases of postoperative detachment and spontaneous reattachment of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) lenticles.
Design: Retrospective, observational case series.
Methods: This was a review of patients undergoing DSAEK at 7 institutions.
Purpose: To examine the complications encountered after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) at one institution.
Design: Retrospective case review.
Methods: The first 126 consecutive DSAEKs done at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary from March 1, 2006 to March 1, 2008 were reviewed.
Purpose: To present the first reported case of Descemet membrane stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK)-associated endophthalmitis with concave dislocation on slit-lamp optical coherence topography (SL-OCT).
Methods: An 86-year-old man underwent DSEK for corneal decompensation secondary to prior surgery. On all postoperative visits, a slit-lamp examination and SL-OCT were performed.
Purpose: To determine if central donor lenticle thickness as measured by slit-lamp optical coherence tomography (SL OCT; Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) is predictive of primary donor failure in patients undergoing Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).
Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.
Methods: Eighty-four patients who underwent DSAEK surgery by 2 surgeons (D.
Purpose: To compare the incidence of visually significant pseudophakic macular edema after uneventful phacoemulsification in patients treated postoperatively with topical prednisolone and those treated with topical prednisolone and nepafenac 0.1% suspension (Nevanac).

Atypical MRI features of intraorbital metastatic melanoma.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
September 2007
A 78-year-old man with a history of melanoma presented with a 2-week history of diplopia, pain, and intermittent blurriness in his right eye. Imaging showed a multicystic mass within the right lateral rectus muscle that was biopsy-proven metastatic melanoma. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of orbital metastasis from melanoma presenting as a multicystic mass intrinsic to the extraocular muscle with layering fluid-fluid levels.

Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective study was performed on 188 consecutive patients. Mean ultrasound pachymetry measurements of central corneal thickness and corresponding Goldmann applanation tonometry measurements were obtained.
