Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) is a surgical procedure reserved for severe end-stage corneal blindness with a dry, keratinized ocular surface. Late resorption of bone has been described as a complication of this procedure. We present a novel surgical technique to repair laminar resorption associated with OOKP using transpalpebral split-pedicle orbicularis oculi flaps.

Methods: In this case series, patients with corneal scars treated with topical losartan 0.8 mg/mL 4 times a day for 6 months were included.
In Canada, lower income households and essential workers were disproportionately at risk of SARS-CoV-2. Early in the pandemic, stay-at-home restriction policies were used to limit virus transmission. There remains an evidence gap in how changes in mobility, in response to the policies, varied across socioeconomic measures in Canada.

- The study aimed to showcase cases of extreme corneal flattening, termed collagen compaction syndrome, following successful endothelial keratoplasty (EK).
- Four patients, averaging 64.8 years old, experienced significant vision problems after EK due to chronic corneal edema, with best-corrected vision ranging from 20/40 to 20/200.
- The findings suggest that the duration of chronic corneal edema before surgery may greatly impact EK outcomes, indicating the need for careful timing of the procedure and potential rescue treatments for patients with severe edema.
Background And Aims: Transplant success rates can increase when organs and tissues are matched within ethnic communities, but how well are the processes around organ donation understood by discrete ethnic communities in Australia? We investigated this in relation to one ethnic group, the Australian-Indian community in Sydney.
Methods: A culturally appropriate survey and dissemination strategy was co-created with Indian community members through an Advisory Panel. Items were informed by a thematic analysis of cultural beliefs shared through the advisory panel discussions and measured awareness and practices associated with organ donation and transplantation and beliefs about organ donation and registration.
