Purpose: To report our experience with systemic cyclosporine as a treatment for severe vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) in pediatric patients who did not respond to previous treatments.
Methods: We analyzed the medical records of 6 patients, aged 4 to 15 years, with severe VKC treated with systemic cyclosporine for VKC at Shamir Medical Center in Zerifin, Israel, between the years 2000 and 2023. The average treatment duration was 18 months.
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the visual and refractive outcomes in patients with pseudoexfoliation (PXF) undergoing routine cataract surgery and to compare the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulae.
Methods: Retrospective case-series study from Shamir medical center, a public hospital, Israel. Medical records of patients who underwent routine cataract surgery between January 2019 and August 2021 were investigated.

Article Synopsis
- * Both families showed early-onset bilateral optic atrophy in male siblings, with mild symptoms in carrier females, indicating X-linked inheritance.
- * Novel pathogenic variants in the WDR45 gene were identified, showing full segregation with the disease, linking it to isolated X-linked optic atrophy.
Purpose: To investigate the influence of post-operative eye patching on corneal thickness, endothelial cells' loss and visual acuity in patients diagnosed Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD).
Setting: Public healthcare centre, Shamir Medical Centre, Israel.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial included patients with FECD undergoing routine cataract surgery in a public medical centre.
