Background: Dolosigranulum pigrum is a commensal inhabitant of the upper respiratory tract suspected to be responsible for ocular infections but no well-described case of D. pigrum corneal infection has been reported. Herein culture and PCR-sequencing-based investigations of corneal scraping specimens confirmed D.

Design: Retrospective case series.
Patients And Methods: Alphacor implantation was performed via a two-step procedure with intrastromal insertion followed by secondary exposure of the optic after 6 months.
Background And Objective: To describe the use of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in studying the dynamic changes of the anterior chamber angle by corneal indentation.
Patients And Methods: In a prospective observational study, the anterior segments of 21 eyes were imaged using AS-OCT. After the initial scan, a second scan was executed on the same areas with a central corneal indentation.
Purpose: To define the contribution of the corneal epithelium in corneal topography in keratoconus and discuss the implications regarding combined topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy and corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL).
Setting: French National Reference Center for Keratoconus, Bordeaux, France.
Design: Case series.
Article Synopsis
- The incidence of Nocardia keratitis is rising, with new species like Nocardia transvalensis being identified, particularly among travelers returning from Asia.
- A 23-year-old man developed Nocardia keratitis after a foreign object hit his eye while biking in Thailand, showing significant ocular symptoms and a specific infection identified through PCR sequencing.
- Treatment with topical and oral antibiotics led to a notable improvement in his condition, highlighting the importance of recognizing Nocardia as a potential cause of keratitis in similar cases.
