Retinal detachment after post-operative endophthalmitis: clinical characteristics, outcomes and risk factors.

Purpose: To describe clinical characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) following treatment of postoperative endophthalmitis (PE).

Methods: Analysis of cross-referenced data from two service reviews of patients with RRD and bacterial PE treated between 01/01/2013 and 01/07/2020. The main outcome measure was final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).

A smartphone lens attachment improves the quality of referrals to eye casualty.

Background/objectives: In recent years, eye casualty clinics have seen significant increases in patient numbers with reduced capacity. COVID-19 has exacerbated this issue and demonstrated the potential of telemedicine as a solution. Our study evaluated the potential benefit of a smartphone-based lens attachment to improve the referral pathway for anterior segment related complaints in eye casualty.

Clinical study of laminar resorption: Part 2- outcomes, review and proposal for classification.

Purpose: To analyze and review the clinical features and main outcomes of laminar resorption from the UK osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) cohort.

Methods: A retrospective review of case records was undertaken for patients who underwent keratoprostheses between 1996 and 2014 at the Sussex Eye Hospital, Brighton, UK. The main clinical outcomes of resorption, including its clinical signs, complications, treatments, and laminar survival, were evaluated.

Clinical study of laminar resorption: Part 1 - Factors affecting laminar resorption.

Purpose: To analyse the factors affecting laminar resorption in the UK osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) cohort and present a detailed review.

Methods: A retrospective review of the case records of the patients who underwent OOKP between 1996 and 2014 was performed at the Sussex Eye Hospital in Brighton, UK.

Results: Sixty-four patients (25 females and 39 males) were included, and 74 laminae were implanted consisting of 3 tibial grafts, 11 tooth allografts and 60 tooth autografts.

A randomized, fellow eye, comparison of keratometry, aberrometry, tear film, axial length and the anterior chamber depth after eye rubbing in non-keratoconic eyes.

Background: To investigate the effect of eye rubbing on keratometry (K), aberrometry, tear film break-up-time (TFBUT) and anterior chamber depth (ACD).

Methods: Volunteers without any corneal pathology or dry eyes were randomised to rubbing in one eye and the fellow-eye was control. Eye rubbing was performed for 2 min.

Vent Incisions to Facilitate Peripheral Unfolding of the DMEK Graft.

Purpose: To present the results of 15 cases in which a modified technique of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) with vent incisions was used to assist unfolding of tight peripheral inward folds.

Methods: This is a retrospective case series of 15 consecutive eyes that underwent a modified vent incision technique for DMEK. Six oblique, small-size (1 mm) vent incisions parallel to the limbus and 3.

A Case of a Spontaneous Self-resolving Retrobulbar Hemorrhage Following 3,4-Methylenedioxy-methamphetamine Use.

This case report discusses the case of a 23-year-old male patient who experienced retrobulbar pain, diplopia, proptosis, and mild lower eyelid bruising after consuming 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine. The symptoms settled over 10 days and vision returned to normal without intervention. The authors discuss the differential diagnosis relevant to the presenting complaints and propose several mechanisms linking 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine use to spontaneous nontraumatic intraorbital hematoma.

Case report: a diagnostically challenging conjunctival mass caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.

We present a paediatric case of infectious mononucleosis in a 13-year old, manifesting with follicular conjunctivitis and a conjunctival mass in one eye with no evidence of leucocytosis on the blood count. The diagnosis was confirmed following surgical excision and biopsy. The case represented a diagnostic challenge due to its atypism and given the steady increase in the prevalence of EBV-related ocular diseases in the last years, this report can serve as an example to prompt earlier serological tests to identify the aetiology in similar cases.
