Results of Lucia Keratoprosthesis Implantation in Severe Corneal Disease.

Purpose: Describe complications, functional success, and retention of the Lucia Keratoprosthesis (KPro).

Design: Retrospective interventional case series METHODS: The demographic data, baseline characteristics, complications, functional success, and retention were analyzed for Lucia KPro at the Instituto de Oftalmologia Conde de Valenciana in Mexico City from 2021 to 2023. Multivariate regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier plots were performed to identify associations with functional failure.

Severe sequelae in bilateral acute iris transillumination syndrome secondary to the use of oral moxifloxacin: a case report.

Background: Moxifloxacin is a fourth-generation fluoroquinolone used as a second-line treatment for multiple bacterial infections. Uveitis has been described as an adverse effect related to this medication. Although several case reports have been published describing uveitis and bilateral acute iris transillumination syndrome related to moxifloxacin, we present a unique case of a patient with severe sequelae associated with bilateral acute iris transillumination syndrome secondary to the use of oral moxifloxacin.

A white circular-spot pattern of iridian atrophy associated with Varicella-zoster virus and Toxoplasma gondii coinfection: a case report.

Background: We report a case of white circular spots of iridian atrophy, which we will call "polka dots" pattern, as a rare ophthalmological finding associated with uveitis secondary to varicella-zoster virus and Toxoplasma gondii coinfection in a male patient in Bogotá, Colombia.

Case Presentation: We present de case of a 53-year-old Colombian male patient with a diagnosis of anterior uveitis in his left eye due to varicella-zoster virus and Toxoplasma gondii coinfection documented by polymerase chain reaction analysis. He presented with multiple areas of superficial white circular spots of iridian atrophy in 360º, some with deeper atrophy where the stroma fibers were visualized and only a small punctate defect of transillumination was evident.

Prevalence of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and euthyroidism in thyroid eye disease: a systematic review of the literature.

Background: Thyroid eye disease is an autoimmune disorder of the orbital retrobulbar tissue commonly associated with dysthyroid status. The most frequent condition is hyperthyroidism, although it is also present in hypothyroid and euthyroid patients. The prevalence of thyroid conditions in patients with thyroid eye disease had been previously evaluated; however, there is no consensus on a global prevalence.
