Purpose: To evaluate rotational stability for ease of rotation of a new intraocular lens (IOL) platform with 4 haptics in an ex vivo model and compare it with a control single-piece lens with 2 open loops.
Setting: Intermountain Ocular Research Center, John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Moxifloxacin solution is frequently injected at the conclusion of cataract surgery for endophthalmitis prophylaxis. 2 different concentrations are most commonly available in the United States for intracameral (IC) use: 0.5% (5 mg/mL) and 0.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a large ciliary body melanocytoma with significant growth, vision loss, and elevated intraocular pressure that was diagnosed clinically as a melanoma, but the standardized A-scan findings correlated to the histopathological description of a melanocytoma with multiple pseudocysts.
Conclusions: The reflectivity of this melanocytoma by standardized A-scan was consistent with multiple pseudocysts on pathological evaluation.
Purpose: To compare the protection of the corneal endothelium provided by a cohesive and a dispersive ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) against damage from torsional ultrasound and simulated lenticular debris during phacoemulsification.
Setting: University setting, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Design: Experimental study.
Purpose: To evaluate mechanical damage of simulated lenticular debris on corneal endothelial cells during phacoemulsification.
Setting: University setting, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Design: Experimental study.
Purpose: Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy Syndrome (APS) is a rare condition caused by an autoimmune failure of two or more endocrine glands. In this case, we report the ocular findings and correlated histopathology from a human eye donor with a prior clinical history of Type 1 APS.
Observations: The 23 year-old patient originally presented with blurred vision at the 20/125 level caused by papilledema of the right eye.
An 11-year-old boy presented with 2 weeks of intermittent headache, right orbital pain, and constant diplopia. Brain MRI showed dural thickening and enhancement of the right lateral cavernous sinus, right orbital apex, and tentorium. Initial cerebral spinal fluid analysis showed only mild pleocytosis, and serum diagnostics were unrevealing.

Although many improvements have been made for the management of IFIS, it remains a challenging condition for surgeons. An understanding of the syndrome as well as the multitude of tools to mitigate risk of complication is important for surgeons operating on high-risk patients.

Purpose: To describe an outbreak of late-onset toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) after the implantation of a specific hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL).
Setting: University Hospitals of Leuven, Belgium.
Design: Retrospective, single-center, observational study.
Purpose: To quantify the damage to the corneal endothelium from the flow of a balanced salt solution during phacoemulsification.
Setting: John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Purpose: To describe the findings of a recently described syndrome, the dead bag syndrome, in which the capsular bag appears to be clear many years postoperatively, becoming diaphanous and floppy and unable to support the intraocular lens (IOL) within it.
Setting: John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Purpose: To compare corneal endothelial damage from longitudinal and torsional ultrasound during phacoemulsification.
Setting: John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

Purpose: To determine whether a newly modified capsular tension ring (CTR) is effective at preventing toric intraocular lens (TIOL) rotation and misalignment.
Setting: John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Purpose: In our report, we present a suspected case of donor-derived Acanthamoeba keratitis after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. To the authors' knowledge, there have been no confirmed cases of Acanthamoeba keratitis transmission through corneal transplantation.
Methods: Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty was performed on the right eye of a 33-year-old man with severe bilateral keratoconus and an intolerance to all forms of contact lenses.

Purpose: To evaluate the ease of replacement and capsular stability of a new fluid-filled, modular, accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) system composed of a monofocal base lens with a fluid lens clipped inside of it.
Setting: John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Purpose: To evaluate long-term uveal and capsular biocompatibility of a new fluid-filled modular accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) consisting of base and fluid lenses.
Setting: John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, USA.
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the eyelid is a very rare tumor, and only 11 cases have been previously reported in the literature. Here the authors report the 12th case of eyelid ACC that was initially diagnosed as adenoid basal cell carcinoma. This is the first report of local recurrence after wide local excision using the Mohs technique.
