Management of primary pterygium with intra-lesional injection of 5 flurouracil and bevacizumab (Avastin).

Background: To assess the efficacy of combined 5FU and Avastin injections in the treatment of primary pterygium METHODS: Sixteen eyes with primary pterygium received intralesional 5 fluorouracil and Avastin (2.5-5 mg) injections every 2 weeks for a maximum of five injections. Fourteen eyes of 14 patients received five injections, one eye received three injections and one eye received two injections.

Healing of autologous conjunctival grafts in pterygium surgery.

Creeping posterior synechiae following hyperopic iris-fixated phakic implants.

The purpose of this study was to report on the occurrence and management of posterior synechiae (PS) in three hyperopic eyes after iris-fixated anterior chamber phakic IOL implantation. This is a case report of a 55-year-old man and a 55-year-old lady who had undergone iris-fixated anterior chamber phakic IOL implantation to correct hyperopic astigmatism (one eye) and hyperopia (both eyes), respectively. The three eyes developed creeping PS and pigment dispersion within 4-6 weeks of surgery.

Calcified corneal nerves.

Purpose: To report a case of calcified corneal nerves in an eye with long-standing diabetic eye disease.

Methods: This is a case report where the clinical diagnosis was made using a slit-lamp biomicroscope and confirmed using in vivo confocal microscopy. Photoslit-lamp images were taken for both eyes, and nerve thickness measurements made using ImageJ software.
