Background: The aim of this study was to apply bioinformatic analysis to develop a robust miRNA signature and construct a nomogram model in uveal melanoma (UM) to improve prognosis prediction.

Methods: miRNA and mRNA sequencing data for 80 UM patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The patients were further randomly assigned to a training set ( = 40, used to identify key miRNAs) and a testing set ( = 40, used to internally verify the signature).

Purpose: To report a novel technique to treat superficial limbal dermoid by using the corneal intrastromal lenticules obtained from SMILE and to evaluate the initial clinical outcomes of lenticule patch graft for treatment of limbal dermoid.

Methods: In this single-center case series, lenticules were obtained from patients undergoing SMILE for the correction of myopia and the lenticule patch graft was performed in three patients with limbal dermoid. Patients were postoperatively followed at first, second weeks and first, third months after surgery.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 0.1% tacrolimus eye drops in the tarsal form of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) and to survey the changes of dendritic cells at the palpebral conjunctiva in patients with VKC by in vivo confocal microscopy.

Methods: A total of 17 patients (34 eyes) with the tarsal form of VKC were enrolled in this prospective, nonrandomized case series.
