Surgically induced diffuse scleritis associated with choroidal detachment following phacoemulsification surgery.

Purpose: We present a case of a hemorrhagic choroidal detachment associated with a surgical induced diffuse scleritis (SIDS) following phacoemulsification surgery.

Case Report: A-49-year-old healthy male with history of high myopia and pars-plana vitrectomy associated with 360° encircling buckle surgery years ago, who underwent phacoemulsification surgery with in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation on the right eye and developed an important 360° hemorrhagic choroidal detachment on the first-day post-surgery, 10 days later, presented SIDS. First day after surgery, best-corrected visual acuity was hands movement in the affected eye.

Micropulse laser in patients with refractory and treatment-naïve center-involved diabetic macular edema: short terms visual and anatomic outcomes.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to describe visual and anatomic outcomes of 5774nm micropulse laser photocoagulation in eyes with either treatment-naïve or refractory diabetic macular edema (DME) at 3 months.

Methods: This was a prospective case series that recruited 23 consecutive patients (33 eyes) with center-involved DME that was either treatment-naïve or had not responded to prior treatment. Micropulse therapy was performed with the Easy Ret 577 (Quantel Medical, Cournon d'Auvergne, France) diode laser in a high-density manner in eyes with treatment-naïve or refractory DME.

Association Between First- and Third-Month Responses to Intravitreal Ranibizumab for Diabetic Macular Edema.

Purpose: This work examines the relationship between first- and third-month anatomical and visual response with antivascular endothelial growth factor for diabetic macular edema.

Methods: We prospectively evaluated 58 eyes with center-involved diabetic macular edema. Response was categorized upon the anatomical status after 3 monthly doses based on the reduction of central macular thickness (CMT) from baseline (≥20% or not).

Different approaches in the management of macular hemorrhage: Case reports and a literature review.

Introduction: Macular hemorrhages result in a sudden and profound loss of vision. The primary treatment modalities include observation, intravitreal injection of antiangiogenic drugs, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet hialoidotomy, intravitreal injection of gas with or without tissue plasminogen activator, as monotherapy or combined with surgery. In this paper, we report four cases of macular hemorrhages of different causes treated with different approaches, and we review the literature in this regard.

Electric Shock Retinopathy: Case Report of a Late Retinal Manifestation.

Purpose: This is a case report of a male patient who suffered a high-voltage electrical burn and presented with bilateral pigmentary retinopathy.

Methods: A 40-year-old man presented with bilateral vision loss following a high-voltage electrical injury sustained 10 years earlier. Family history, ocular history, and anterior segment evaluation were unremarkable.

Changes on Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy with the Heidelberg Retinal Tomography after a Cardiac Catheterism in a Patient with Progressive Glaucoma.

Purpose: We present a case of a patient with progressive open angle glaucoma who presented changes suggestive of improvement in the Heidelberg retinal tomography 3 (HRT3) analysis after a cardiac catheterization.

Observation: A 69-year-old woman presented with progressive open angle glaucoma despite maximum tolerable antiglaucomatous topical treatment. A filtering surgery (trabeculectomy) was performed and successfully achieved intraocular pressure (IOP) levels of 10 mm Hg on average.

Invasive Pharmacology Outcomes with Different Corneal Cross-Linking Protocols: A Review.

Collagen corneal cross-linking (CXL) is an invasive pharmacological treatment strategy used for corneal ectatic disorders and is currently the only treatment capable of halting the progression of the disease. In the past 20 years, the conservative management of progressive corneal ectasia has changed, thanks to this procedure that produces strengthening of the corneal tissue through the photochemical reaction generated by the combined action of riboflavin and ultraviolet A radiation. Many modified protocols have been implemented to halt the progression of the disease and to delay or prevent visual loss and surgical procedures such as corneal transplantation.

Micropulse Trabeculoplasty in Open Angle Glaucoma.

Background: We report the effect of micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT) in the intraocular pressure (IOP) of patients with uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective review, 30 eyes with OAG were treated with a single session of MLT at the Vista Clinic in Lima Perú. We used a 532 nm frequency doubled Nd: YAG laser to 360° of the trabecular meshwork with a power of 1000 mW, 15% of the duty cycle, and 300 ms of exposure.

Relationship between preoperative axial length and myopic shift over 3 years after congenital cataract surgery with primary intraocular lens implantation at the National Institute of Ophthalmology of Peru, 2007-2011.

Objective: To determine the relationship between the preoperative axial length and the myopic shift over 3 years after congenital cataract surgery with primary intraocular lens implantation and other related factors.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, the axial length was measured and assigned into 2 groups (>21.5 mm and ≤21.
