A case report of fulminant endophthalmitis caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae in a patient with traumatic corneal laceration.

Background: To report a case of enucleation caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae endophthalmitis after traumatic corneal laceration.

Case Presentation: A 69-year-old man with history of retinal detachment treated with vitrectomy and subsequent cataract surgery presented with traumatic corneal laceration while cutting grass. Appropriate repair of corneal laceration and intravitreal antibiotics (vancomycin, ceftazidime) injection was performed.

Lenticular fungal infection caused by Aspergillus in a patient with traumatic corneal laceration: a case report.

Background: To report a case of lenticular infection caused by Aspergillus, which was diagnosed 13 weeks after traumatic corneal laceration.

Case Presentation: A 60-year-old woman presented with traumatic corneal laceration including anterior lens capsule rupture and traumatic cataract after being hit with a chestnut in the right eye. There were multiple injuries due to tiny thorns of the chestnut, including the conjunctiva, sclera, cornea, and anterior lens capsule.

Changes of tear film lipid layer thickness by 3% diquafosol ophthalmic solutions in patients with dry eye syndrome.

Aim: To evaluate the quantitatively changes in lipid layer thickness (LLT) when 3% diquafosol eye drop is used for dry eye patients using the tear film interferometer.

Methods: A total 124 participants (32 males, 92 females; mean age, 28.9y) diagnosed with dry eye disease (DED) received topical instillation of 4 ophthalmic solutions in one eye: diquafosol, normal saline, 0.

Changes in Tear Volume after 3% Diquafosol Treatment in Patients with Dry Eye Syndrome: An Anterior Segment Spectral-domain Optical Coherence Tomography Study.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in the tear meniscus area and tear meniscus height over time in patients with dry eye syndrome, using anterior segment spectral-domain optical coherence tomography after the instillation of 3% diquafosol ophthalmic solution.

Methods: Sixty eyes from 30 patients with mild to moderate dry eye syndrome were included. Tear meniscus images acquired by anterior segment spectral-domain optical coherence tomography were analyzed using National Institutes of Health's image-analysis software (ImageJ 1.

The anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody test in suspected ocular myasthenia gravis.

Aim. To estimate the clinical significance of anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody (anti-AChR-Ab) levels in suspected ocular myasthenia gravis. Methods.

Surgical outcomes of 23-gauge vitrectomy for the management of lens fragments dropped into the vitreous cavity during cataract surgery.

Purpose: To assess the clinical features and surgical outcomes of 23-Gauge (G) vitrectomy for lens fragments dropped into the vitreous during cataract surgery.

Methods: A retrospective, non-comparative, interventional case series at a single medical center. The medical records of 45 eyes from 45 consecutive patients who were referred to our hospital for surgical retrieval of phacoemulsification dropped lens fragments and who underwent 23-G vitrectomy were retrospectively reviewed.

Characteristics of pupillo-accommodative functions according to time of onset, gender and age in tonic pupil.

Aim: To evaluate the characteristics of pupillo-accommodative functions in patients with idiopathic tonic pupil according to the time of onset, gender, and age.

Methods: Totally, 15 males and 19 females were divided into 2 groups depending on the time of disease onset: group I (onset <2 months, n=20) and group II (onset >2 months, n=14). A supersensivity test was conducted by applying diluted pilocarpine 0.

Comparison of the outcome of silicone Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation with a surface area between 96 and 184 mm² in adult eyes.

Purpose: To compare the success rates, complications, and visual outcomes between silicone Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation with 96 mm(2) (FP8) or 184 mm(2) (FP7) surface areas.

Methods: This study is a retrospective review of the records from 132 adult patients (134 eyes) that underwent silicone AGV implant surgery. Among them, the outcomes of 24 eyes from 24 patients with refractory glaucoma who underwent FP8 AGV implantation were compared with 76 eyes from 76 patients who underwent FP7 AGV implantation.

Cirrus high-definition optical coherence tomography versus spectral optical coherence tomography/scanning laser ophthalmoscopy in the diagnosis of glaucoma.

Purpose: This study was performed to compare the positive predictive value of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurements obtained using Cirrus high-definition optical coherence tomography (Cirrus HD-OCT; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) and spectral OCT/scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) (OPKO/OTI, Miami, FL) in the diagnosis of glaucoma.

Methods: A total of 50 eyes of 50 healthy subjects and 60 eyes of 60 subjects with glaucoma were included. All participants underwent RNFL thickness measurement using Cirrus HD-OCT and spectral OCT/SLO on the same day.

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor monotherapy in the treatment of submacular hemorrhage secondary to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections on submacular hemorrhage secondary to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.

Design: Retrospective, interventional case series.

Methods: Twenty-seven eyes from 27 polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy patients with submacular hemorrhage involving the fovea were included in the analyses.

Fresnel prism on hess screen test.

A 65-year-old male patient complained of diplopia after a cataract surgery. He had esotropia of 18 prism diopters (PDs) at distant and near deviation, and therefore, we performed the Hess screen test to identify any abnormal eye movement. However, the indicator was found to be out of bounds, and therefore, the test could not be completed.
