Corynebacterium ocular infection after Baerveldt glaucoma implant surgery: treatment involving immediate tube withdrawal and temporary subconjunctival tube placement: a case report.

Background: We report a case of Corynebacterium endophthalmitis secondary to tube exposure following Baerveldt glaucoma implant surgery that was successfully treated with prompt tube withdrawal and temporary subconjunctival tube placement without removing the glaucoma drainage device.

Case Presentation: A 65-year-old Japanese man with secondary glaucoma underwent glaucoma drainage device surgery with a donor scleral patch graft in the inferonasal quadrant of his right eye. Ten months after surgery, he presented with tube exposure due to dehiscence of the overlying conjunctiva and erosion of the scleral patch graft.

Evaluation of Blood-filling Patterns in Schlemm Canal for Trabectome Surgery.

Unlabelled: PRéCIS:: Regardless of the blood-filling patterns in Schlemm canal (SC) before the trabecular meshwork (TM) ablation, the trabectome surgery, combined with phacoemulsification, is effective for mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between trabectome surgery outcomes and the blood filling patterns in SC before TM ablation.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 105 eyes of 84 Japanese primary open-angle glaucoma patients who had undergone trabectome surgery in combination with cataract surgery.

Impact of Cataract Surgery on Filtering Bleb Morphology Identified Via Swept-source 3-dimensional Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography.

Unlabelled: PRéCIS:: Analysis of filtering bleb morphology using swept-source 3-dimensional anterior segment optical coherence tomography (3D AS-OCT) indicates that phacoemulsification can negatively impact the morphology of preexisting filtering blebs.

Purpose: To identify the cross-sectional morphologic changes in successful filtering blebs after phacoemulsification using swept-source 3D AS-OCT.

Materials And Methods: In total, 30 phakic eyes of 29 patients with successful filtering blebs after primary trabeculectomy were included in this retrospective cohort study.

Characteristics of early filtering blebs that predict successful trabeculectomy identified via three-dimensional anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

Background/aims: To identify the cross-sectional characteristics of filtering blebs at 2 weeks post-trabeculectomy associated with intraocular pressure (IOP) control at 1 year post-trabeculectomy.

Methods: Ninety-nine eyes of 94 patients who had undergone primary trabeculectomy were included in this retrospective consecutive case series study. Surgical success was defined as an IOP ≤15 mm Hg and a >20% reduction in IOP without glaucoma medication or additional glaucoma surgeries at 1 year post-trabeculectomy.

Characteristics of successful filtering blebs at 1 year after trabeculectomy using swept-source three-dimensional anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To identify the cross-sectional characteristics of filtering blebs associated with intraocular pressure (IOP) control at 1 year after trabeculectomy with a square scleral flap and a fornix-based conjunctival flap.

Methods: A retrospective consecutive case series study was conducted. Eighty-four eyes of 79 patients who had undergone primary trabeculectomy were included.

Successful resolution of stromal keratitis and uveitis using canakinumab in a patient with chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, and articular syndrome: a case study.

Background: Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is a group of rare autoinflammatory diseases, and of these, chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, and articular/neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (CINCA/NOMID) syndrome has the most severe phenotype. Canakinumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets interleukin-1β, has been shown to be an effective treatment for resolving systemic inflammation. However, its efficacy for treating ophthalmic symptoms of this disorder remains unclear.

Paecilomyces lilacinus-induced Scleritis Following Bleb-associated Endophthalmitis after Trabeculectomy.

Paecilomyces lilacinus (P. lilacinus) is a rare cause of fungal scleritis. We herein report a case of P.

Choroidal neovascularization occurring concurrently in myopic eyes of monozygotic twins.

Purpose: To present young monozygotic twins both of whom developed choroidal neovascularization at the same time.

Case/observations: Monozygotic twins, 22-year-old women, who lived in the same house, developed choroidal neovascularization in the left eye at the same time. The degree of myopia was higher in the left eye (-7.
