Patch endothelial keratoplasty for corneal perforations secondary to ocular surface disease: case series.

Background: Corneal perforation is an ophthalmic emergency. The conventional management of corneal perforation can be associated with severe complications especially in patients with ocular surface disease. Endothelial keratoplasty has been suggested as an alternative surgical technique for the management of corneal perforations.

High rate of de novo esophagitis 5 years after sleeve gastrectomy: a prospective multicenter study in Spain.

Background: Major concerns years after the sleeve gastrectomy (SG) include weight regain, development of hiatal hernia (HH) and gastroesophageal reflux disease, with esophagitis and Barrett's esophagus (BE). Both problems could be related, and the incidence of asymptomatic patients is troubling.

Objective: To study the incidence of reflux symptoms, esophagitis, BE, HH, and asymptomatic pathology and their relationship with weight regain in patients 5 years after undergoing SG at different bariatric centers in Spain.

Visual Acuity and Number of Amniotic Membrane Layers as Indicators of Efficacy in Amniotic Membrane Transplantation for Corneal Ulcers: A Multicenter Study.

Background: To evaluate new indicators in the efficacy of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) for non-healing corneal ulcers (NHCUs).

Methods: Retrospective, multicenter study. In total, 223 AMTs for NHCU in 191 patients were assessed.

A tricky case of unilateral orbital inflammation: carotid cavernous fistula in Graves-Basedow disease.

To describe a rare clinical case of Carotid Cavernous Fistula (CCF) in Graves-Basedow disease (GBD). A 62-year-old female with history of GBD and inactive Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) was admitted with progressive exophthalmos in her right eye (RE) and diagnosed with GO reactivation the previous month. On examination, dilated and tortuous conjunctival blood vessels, chemosis and exophthalmos were observed in the RE.

Intraocular pressure responses to walking with surgical and FFP2/N95 face masks in primary open-angle glaucoma patients.

Purpose: The use of face mask is globally recommended as a preventive measure against COVID-19. However, the intraocular pressure (IOP) changes caused by face masks remain unknown. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of wearing surgical and FFP2/N95 face masks during a 400-m walking protocol on IOP in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.

Nd:YAG membranotomy for sub-inner limiting membrane hemorrhage: a case report.

A 16-year-old male patient presented with a 12-days sudden painless loss of vision in his left eye after diving in a lake. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the left eye was counting fingers. Anterior segment was unremarkable.
