Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease Following COVID-19 Infection.

A 29-year-old female presented to the emergency clinic with gradual visual disturbance in both eyes for 15 days duration, accompanied by bilateral tinnitus, and ocular pain that increased with ocular movements. One month prior to presentation, the patient had tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 but without complications. Visual acuity was 20/100 in the right eye and 20/300 in the left eye.

Apolipoprotein AI-Derived Vitreous Amyloidosis: An Elusive Diagnosis.

A 56-year-old female presented with vitreous opacity with gradual visual disturbance in her right eye of 1-year duration. A Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma had been treated 15 years before. Presenting best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/200 in her right eye and 20/25 in her left eye.

Peritomy-sparing scleral buckle.

Purpose: To introduce a modified technique for encircling circumferential scleral buckling without peritomy thorough a small conjunctival opening for the repair of uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD).

Methods: This technique was performed in 10 eyes of 10 patients with primary rhegmatogenous RD who underwent encircling circumferential scleral buckling without peritomy. Transconjunctival traction sutures were placed in four rectus muscles.

Phacoemulsification Outcomes with Different Illumination Techniques.

Purpose: To compare surgeon experience and the outcomes of phacoemulsification using 2 different illumination techniques for cataract extraction.

Methods: A prospective interventional case series was performed on 20 consecutive patients (20 eyes) with senile cataract who underwent phacoemulsification enhanced with a 23-G endoillumination probe. The main outcome measures were the surgeon's perception of depth of field and quality of visibility of intraocular structures, ease of performance of the surgical procedure, effectiveness, and complications related to the procedure.

Ophthalmic Manifestations of Congenital Zika Syndrome in Colombia and Venezuela.

Importance: The ocular manifestations and sequelae of Zika virus infection are not well known. Recently, the World Health Organization changed the declaration of Zika as a public health emergency and designated the viral outbreak and related microcephaly clusters as a long-term program of work. This change indicates the urgent need to evaluate and document ophthalmic manifestations in patients for timely management of this disease.

ANTERIOR LENS CAPSULE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC FULL-THICKNESS MACULAR HOLE.

Purpose: To report the use of anterior lens capsule flap transplantation in two cases with chronic full-thickness macular hole (MH).

Methods: Case series.

Results: Two cases of chronic MH with a new treatment approach were reported.

Surgical technique for transscleral fixation of a foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens.

The safety and efficacy of a modified technique for transscleral fixation of a foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) for intracapsular aphakia (secondary IOL) or after complicated phacoemulsification was evaluated. All eyes had inadequate or no posterior capsular support. Follow-up was between 4 and 26 months (mean, 12 months).

Intraoperative peripheral anterior capsulotomy to prevent early postoperative capsular block syndrome.

We describe a new surgical technique, intraoperative peripheral anterior capsulotomy (IPAC), to prevent early postoperative capsular block syndrome (CBS). Eighty consecutive patients (80 eyes) had phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation with IPAC in the presence of a small (4.5 to 5.

Topical anesthesia with sedation in phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with 2-port pars plana vitrectomy in 105 consecutive cases.

Background And Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of topical anesthesia as an alternative to peribulbar or retrobulbar anesthesia in phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with our modified 2-port pars plana vitrectomy technique (phacovitrectomy).

Patients And Methods: Phacovitrectomy using topical anesthesia (4% lidocaine drops) was prospectively performed in 105 eyes with cataract and varied vitreoretinal pathology. In 75 eyes (71.
