Material Characterisation and Stratification of Conjunctival Epithelial Cells on Electrospun Poly(ε-Caprolactone) Fibres Loaded with Decellularised Tissue Matrices.

The conjunctiva, an under-researched yet incredibly important tissue, plays key roles in providing protection to the eye and maintaining homeostasis of its ocular surface. Multiple diseases can impair conjunctival function leading to severe consequences that require surgical intervention. Small conjunctival defects can be repaired relatively easily, but larger defects rely on tissue grafts which generally do not provide adequate healing.

Vertical Lid Split to Aid Excision and Reconstruction of Conjunctival Tumors Involving the Fornices.

Purpose: To describe how a vertical lid split helps excision and reconstruction of conjunctival tumors.

Methods: All patients with a limited view of conjunctival tumors involving the fornices underwent a vertical lid split procedure to improve access during resection and reconstruction.

Results: There were 11 cases where vertical lid splits were performed to assist excision and reconstruction of conjunctival tumors on patients between 2015 and 2019.

Globe preservation surgery for a paranasal tumor with orbital extension.

Orbital exenteration is a rare radical procedure used for the treatment of locally invasive or potentially life threatening orbital tumors. The procedure results in significant visual and psychosocial disability. Recently there has been a shift toward a subtotal extenteration with maximum preservation of orbital tissue and globe in appropriate cases.

Bilateral infiltrative disease of the extraocular muscles: a rare clinical presentation of early stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Orbital involvement in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is highly unusual and most commonly involves hemorrhage or soft tissue infiltration in advanced disease. We report a case of rapid onset bilateral orbital muscle infiltration as the presenting feature of early stage CLL. In addition, we demonstrate clinico-pathological correlation with an identical chronic B-cell lymphocytic infiltrate in both orbit and bone marrow, with good response of the orbital disease to local radiotherapy.

Idiopathic sclerosing orbital inflammation.

Objective: To perform a multicenter review of the clinical features and treatment of 31 patients with idiopathic sclerosing orbital inflammation.

Methods: We included all patients with histologically confirmed idiopathic sclerosing orbital inflammation from 5 regional orbital centers. We reviewed the case notes to determine the clinical presentation, diagnostic features, and response to treatment.

Correction of pseudophakic anisometropia with the Staar Collamer implantable contact lens.

Purpose: To assess the role of the Staar Surgical implantable contact lens (ICL) for the correction of pseudophakic anisometropia.

Setting: Oxford Eye Hospital, Oxford, and Rosen Eye Center, Alexandra Hospital, Manchester, United Kingdom.

Methods: Six patients with pseudophakic anisometropia ranging from 2.
