Predictors of intraocular pressure reduction after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery versus conventional phacoemulsification surgery: a prospective trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the association between postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction and phacoemulsification parameters in patients who underwent both conventional phacoemulsification surgery (CPS) and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS).

Methods: This was a prospective multicenter comparative study that enrolled 90 participants who underwent cataract surgery at the University of Maryland Medical System and the Wilmer Eye Institute. Patients underwent FLACS in one eye and CPS in the fellow eye.

Syphilitic retinitis presentations: punctate inner retinitis and posterior placoid chorioretinitis.

Purpose: To describe two distinct presentations of syphilitic fundus features in a series of patients with ocular syphilis.

Methods: This is a retrospective, interventional case series of 22 eyes from 16 serology confirmed cases. Clinical examination, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography were performed at presentation and following high-dose intravenous penicillin G.
