Purpose: The objective of this study was to report 2 cases of interface fungal keratitis in 2 separate patients following Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) with tissue harvested from the same donor.

Design: This was a retrospective simultaneous interinstitutional hosptial-based case reports.

Methods: Two patients with corneal infections following DSAEK were identified from 2 individual practices.

Purpose: To further evaluate the efficacy of a new surgical technique for removal of pediatric corneal-limbal dermoids and ocular surface reconstruction using multilayered amniotic membrane.

Methods: Three pediatric patients with corneal-limbal dermoid (grade I) in one practice were identified in a retrospective fashion. All patients underwent deep lamellar excision followed by sutureless multilayered amniotic membrane transplantation by a single surgeon (AP).

Purpose: To describe 2 cases of corneal decompensation after iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation requiring Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).

Materials And Methods: Case reports and literature review.

Results: Two cases of corneal decompensation after pIOL implantation are reported.

Purpose: To provide a literature review of implant related complications from bilateral NewColorIris implantation (Kahn Medical Devices, Panama City, Panama).

Methods: A PubMed search of peer-reviewed ophthalmology journals for complications related to NewColorIris implants was performed.

Results: Including a recent case published by the authors, a total of nine patients (18 eyes) with management of complications such as endothelial cell loss, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal edema, anterior chamber inflammation, decreased visual acuity, and cataract formation were reviewed.

Purpose: To report a new surgical technique for excising pediatric corneal limbal dermoid and the post-resection ocular surface reconstruction.

Methods: We describe a method of deep lamellar excision followed by sutureless multilayered amniotic membrane transplantation in surgical management of corneal limbal dermoid.

Result: This technique achieves a rapid corneal re-epithelization, reduces post-operative pain, and will diminish post-operative scarring.

A 48-year-old man with a history of myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) had selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) for the treatment of glaucoma in the right eye. He subsequently developed grade 2 diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK). He then elected to have SLT in the left eye and developed grade 1 DLK.

Horner syndrome, a triad of ptosis, anisocoria, and anhidrosis, results from interruption in the oculosympathetic pathway. It is classically described as either congenital or acquired to depict its underlying pathophysiology and requisite work-up. We report a case of a 10-month-old infant presenting with an acute onset of left Horner syndrome secondary to a spontaneous extracranial internal carotid artery dissection.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in the corneal profile after Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) analysis and to describe its relationship to a dynamic postoperative hyperopic shift.

Purpose: To compare visual function, safety, and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) after wavefront-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with the LadarVision CustomCornea (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.) and Star S4 CustomVue (Visx) laser systems.

Purpose Of Review: This paper serves to review the safety and efficacy of new laser techniques for the treatment of glaucoma with emphasis on those studies published within the past year.

Recent Findings: Recently published studies have reinforced the strong safety profile, and efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). Endoscopic photocoagulation, while more technically challenging and more invasive, offers several advantages over transcleral cyclophotocoagulation including direct observation of treatment and therefore, fewer complications.
