Purpose: To evaluate the endothelial cell loss in patients with iris-claw phakic lenses (Artisan®) in a long-term follow-up.
Methods: We analyzed the medical records of patients who had undergone iris-claw phakic lens implantation and who had at least 5 years of follow-up.
Results: We included 67 eyes with myopic errors (follow-up 9.

Methods: This retrospective interventional case report includes three eyes of two patients with choroidal metastasis from breast cancer.
Ocular toxocariasis is an uncommon worldwide parasitic infection that affects mostly children and is found in both rural and metropolitan areas.

Methods: Retrospective interventional comparative case series of eyes with symptomatic CCSCR (duration ≥ 4 months) and macular neurosensory retinal detachment (MNSRD). The study group, eight eyes (six patients), received a single session of combined full-fluence PDT and IVT anti-VEGF [bevacizumab (2.
