Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report clinical characteristics and outcomes of surgical repair for patients with traumatic dehiscence of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) grafts.
Methods: Retrospective, consecutive chart review of patients evaluated at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute between 2015 and 2020 with traumatic dehiscence of penetrating keratoplasty grafts.
Results: The study cohort consisted of 65 eyes of 65 patients.
Patients With Dragged Optic Disc Vessels and Retinal Folds: Clinical Features, Multimodal Imaging, and Histopathology.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina
November 2023
Background And Objective: To describe the multimodal imaging and histopathological features of patients with dragged optic disc vessels (DODV).
Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective, observational analysis using multimodal imaging of eyes with DODV in patients with retinal vascular diseases including familial exudative vitreoretinopathy, inflammatory disease, and others. In addition, two additional enucleated eyes with DODV underwent histopathological analysis.
Purpose: To describe abnormalities of the optic nerve microvasculature in patients with persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) and their fellow eyes using OCT angiography (OCTA).
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Subjects: Fifty eyes of 25 patients with PFV who underwent prospective imaging using supine OCTA during examination under anesthesia at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute from March 1, 2019, to December 31, 2022.
Purpose: The purpose of the current study is to report outcomes with the evolving use of regional anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care (RA-MAC) vs general anesthesia (GA) in the repair of open globe injuries.
Design: Retrospective, consecutive, comparative, nonrandomized clinical study.
Methods: The study includes 507 eyes of 507 patients with open globe injuries treated with either RA-MAC or GA at a tertiary referral center between 2015 and 2020.
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to report the clinical features and best-corrected visual acuity outcomes in patients with acute- and delayed-onset endophthalmitis after open globe injuries.
Methods: The study included a retrospective, comparative, consecutive case series of patients with endophthalmitis after open globe injury between January 2016 and October 2020 at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.
Results: Acute-onset endophthalmitis accounted for 16 of 20 cases (80%), and all cases were diagnosed at the initial examination.
Objective: The purpose of the current study is to report outcomes of suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) after anterior segment surgery at a single institution, and to identify clinical features associated with visual prognosis.
Methods And Analysis: Retrospective consecutive case series of patients with SCH occurring after anterior segment surgery.
Results: The study includes 112 eyes of 112 patients between 2014 and 2020.
Reusable Fundus Model for Laser Retinopexy Simulation and Training.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina
November 2022
Background And Objective: To describe a simulation technique for laser barrier retinopexy as an option for ophthalmologists in training to practice slit lamp and laser indirect ophthalmoscopy (LIO) retinopexy.
Materials And Methods: A commercially available fundus model and laser printer labels were used to simulate laser retinopexy of horseshoe tears (HST). At two time points, seven first-year residents and seven second-year residents were asked to complete three rows of laser burns around HSTs and the times were recorded.
AN 82-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WITH RETINAL VASCULAR SHEATHING AND VITREOUS HEMORRHAGE.
Retin Cases Brief Rep
June 2023
Purpose: This report describes a case of hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis in an 82-year-old woman who presented with bilateral retinal arteriolar vascular sheathing and vitreous hemorrhage in one eye.
Methods: The patient underwent a full history, physical examination, genetic workup, and cardiac imaging to establish the diagnosis. Fundus photographs, optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography were performed throughout the patient's treatment course.
To review the recent literature regarding risk factors for cataract formation after vitrectomy, the challenges and management strategies for anterior segment surgeons when facing post-vitrectomy cataract surgery, and the visual outcomes of patients undergoing post-vitrectomy cataract surgery. Cataract surgery after vitrectomy can be safely performed to significantly improve the visual outcome in most post-vitrectomy patients, although final visual acuity is primarily limited by the patient’s underlying vitreoretinal pathology.

Recent Findings: Corneal biopsy continues to be a significantly useful tool in the diagnosis and tailored management of infectious keratitis. Several techniques can be employed for tissue collection, handling and processing to optimize diagnostic yield and maximize safety, including emerging femtosecond laser-assisted biopsy.
Purpose: This case report describes a central retinal vein occlusion in a healthy 12-year-old girl who developed retinal neovascularization at 24 years of age. To the knowledge of the authors, this is the longest time between a reported pediatric central retinal vein occlusion event and neovascularization.
Methods: The patient underwent a full history, physical examination, and laboratory workup to determine potential risk factors contributing to the vascular event.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe two cases of multiple epithelial detachments (pigment epithelial detachments [PEDs]) occurring in otherwise young, healthy patients.
Methods: The medical and imaging records of two cases were reviewed retrospectively.
Results: Multiple serous nonvascularized PEDs were present in two young, healthy patients who underwent multimodal imaging.
Objective: To assess the quality, content, and readability of information available online on vitreous floater information.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Participants: Not applicable.
Purpose: To describe a rare presentation of Klebsiella pneumoniae endogenous endophthalmitis with concurrent intraocular and liver abscesses.
Methods: Case Report.
Results: A middle-aged man presented with a red and painful eye with a preceding febrile gastrointestinal illness.
