Purpose: To describe the incidence, complications and management of reverse pupillary block (RPB) after implantation of Carlevale intraocular lens (IOL).

Participants: Of a sample of 128 patients that had undergone Carlevale IOL implantation, 19 patients were found to present RPB.

Objectives: To compare visual outcomes for low vision eyes (LVE) (<35 letters LogMAR or <20/200 Snellen) versus non-low vision eyes (NLVE) (>35 letters LogMAR or >20/200 Snellen) at the time of the first injection in a clinical practice setting.
Methods: Subgroup analysis of a multicenter national database of treatment- naïve eyes neovascular age related macular degeneration (nAMD) treated with anti-VEGF intravitreal injections divided into LVE and NLVE. Demographics, visual acuity (VA) at baseline and subsequent timepoints (12, 24, and 36 months), number of injections and visits data were collected using a validated web-based tool (Fight Retinal Blindness!).
Background: endophthalmitis is a severe complication of candidemia. Currently, the recommended treatment of fungal endophthalmitis is a combination of intravitreal and systemic antifungal drugs, and in some cases vitrectomy is also required. Intravitreal therapies that are commonly used are amphotericin B and voriconazole, although recently the use of intravitreal caspofungin has been described in a few case reports.
