Applied Anatomy of the Lower Eyelid Preseptal Space for Treating Ectropion and Retraction with Soft-Tissue Fillers.

Background: Lower eyelid malposition can result from age-related changes, such as ectropion, or postsurgical changes, such as retraction after lower lid blepharoplasty. The current accepted treatment is surgical, but soft-tissue fillers have been used as well, with good outcome. The underlying anatomy, which is incompletely described, would be useful information for practitioners desiring to provide minimally invasive injections of the lower eyelid.

The Change in Corneal and Conjunctival Sensation Following Pterygium Surgery.

Background: The cornea is one of the most densely innervated in the body. Pterygium surgery includes removal of the pterygium tissue from the cornea and conjunctiva followed by autologous conjunctival grafting.

Objectives: To examine the change in corneal and conjunctival sensation post-pterygium surgery.

Oculoplastic publication trends in general ophthalmology journals.

Aim: To examine the publication trend of oculoplastic articles throughout the last decade in general ophthalmology journals.

Methods: A review of all abstracts published between January 2010 to December 2019 in general, clinical ophthalmic journals was conducted. Articles that were categorized as original articles in general and clinical journals were included in the study.

Accelerated Versus Standard Corneal Collagen Crosslinking in the Treatment of Keratoconus: One-Year Results.

Background: Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory disease characterized by progressive corneal steepening, which leads to decreased visual acuity secondary to high irregular astigmatism.

Objectives: To compare the one-year outcomes of accelerated vs. standard collagen crosslinking (CXL) in the treatment of keratoconus.

Publication trends in clinical ophthalmology journals in the last decade.

Purpose: To examine the absolute number and the proportions of articles published in general high-ranked ophthalmology journals for each ophthalmic subspecialty during the last decade, and to examine the publishing trends over the study period.

Methods: All original articles published between January 2010 and December 2019 in the selected general clinical ophthalmic journals were included in the study. All abstracts of original articles were reviewed and deemed to be related to 1 of the 11 ophthalmic subspecialties.

Müller's Muscle-conjunctival Resection Combined With Tarsectomy for Treatment of Congenital Ptosis.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection combined with tarsectomy for the treatment of congenital ptosis.

Methods: A retrospective, noncomparative case series was performed on 38 eyes of 36 patients who underwent Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection combined with tarsectomy for the treatment of congenital ptosis. Age range was 2-25 years (mean: 7.

The Sutureless Mullerectomy.

Purpose: Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR) is a well-known approach for ptosis repair. In its standard fashion, it involves resection of Müller's muscle and conjunctiva, followed by suturing of the conjunctiva and Müller's muscle to the tarsus with absorbable or nonabsorbable sutures. The authors herein present their experience in performing MMCR without sutures.

The Epidemiological, Clinical, and Histopathological Characteristics of Lacrimal Gland Biopsies in a Tertiary Care Center in Israel.

Background: The distribution of pathology and clinical characteristics of lacrimal gland diseases are different in different areas of the world.

Objectives: To evaluate the incidence rate, patient characteristics, and indications for surgical intervention of lacrimal gland lesions in a tertiary care center in Israel.

Methods: All biopsied or surgically removed lacrimal gland lesions at the Goldschleger Eye Institute from 2009 to 2015 were identified.

Proptosis Reduction Using Sirolimus in a Child With an Orbital Vascular Malformation and Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome.

A 15-month-old boy with left congenital proptosis presented to the emergency department with melena. Upper GI endoscopy and magnetic resonance angiography revealed vascular lesions, consistent with gastrointestinal tract manifestations of blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome. MRI revealed vascular malformations in both orbits, with mass effect on the left side.

Prevalence of outer retinal tubulation after anti-VEGF therapy for age-related macular degeneration.

Background And Objective: To assess whether there is a correlation between anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy and the incidence of outer retinal tubulation (ORT) in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Patients And Methods: A retrospective review of all patients at the Cole Eye Institute who received anti-VEGF injections for exudative AMD and underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation was performed. A total of 543 patients were identified and included in the study.
