Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the outcomes of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and surgical peripheral iridectomy (SPI) for Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and DMEK with cataract extraction (triple DMEK).
Methods: This retrospective interventional study included 135 eyes of 135 patients who underwent DMEK alone or triple DMEK. Primary outcomes were graft detachments necessitating rebubbling, repeat grafts, and pupillary block.
Article Synopsis
- A case is presented of an 89-year-old man with conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) who developed corneal melt after treatment with topical interferon alpha-2B.
- The patient had several risk factors, including keratoconjunctivitis sicca and limbal stem cell deficiency, and experienced complications like epithelial defects and corneal thinning following surgical excision and cryotherapy.
- While interferon alpha-2B is generally a safe first-line treatment for CIN, caution is advised in patients with existing eye issues, as it may lead to severe complications like corneal melt.

February 2019
Purpose: Outcomes and reoperation rates in infants with unilateral persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) with elongated or stretched ciliary processes have not been extensively studied and were excluded from the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study (IATS). The purpose of this study is to analyze the preoperative measurements, reoperation rates, and complications after surgery in unilateral anterior PFV with stretched processes.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Purpose: To describe the natural history and management of a rare case of iris melanoma in a pediatric patient.
Observations: A Caucasian female presented with left pupillary abnormalities at age 7, progressive iris changes at age 9, and markedly elevated intraocular pressure with advanced optic nerve cupping at 11 years of age. She was found to have a pigmented lesion overlying her iris and invading her angle.
