Aspergillus tamarii keratitis in a contact lens wearer.

Keratitis produced by has been previously described associated to an ocular injury. We report a case in a contact lens wearer with a history of previous bilateral myopic LASIK ablation, bilateral intracorneal rings and vitrectomy and scleral buckling in his left eye. The fungus could be quickly identified combining phenotype, microscopy and mass spectrometry.

Perimetric progression using the Visual Field Index and the Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study score and its clinical correlations.

Purpose: To evaluate the association between clinical parameters and the diagnosis of progression using VFI (Visual Field Index) and AGIS (Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study) score in primary open angle glaucoma.

Methods: Retrospective study of 517 visual fields of 78 eyes with primary open angle glaucoma analyzed with VFI and AGIS score. Clinical data registered included: age, sphere, pachimetry, basal intraocular pressure (IOP), and IOP during the follow up.

Intraoperative mitomycin C and corneal endothelium after pterygium surgery.

Purpose: To determine the effect of mitomycin C (MMC) on the corneal endothelium after primary pterygium surgery.

Methods: This prospective, interventional, nonrandomized, observer-masked study included 46 consecutive patients (51 eyes) with primary pterygium. The bare sclera technique with 1-minute application of 0.
