- * Trauma was identified as the leading risk factor (57.2%), with contact lens use, diabetes, and HIV also linked to infections; bacteria and fungi were found to be equally prevalent as culprits.
- * The research noted a significant rise in cases with mixed microbial infections between the periods 2012-2015 and 2016-2019, indicating a shift in infection patterns.
Background: To compare the efficacy between Johnson's baby shampoo top-to-toe (No More Tears formula) and OCuSOFT Lid Scrub Original Foaming Eyelid Cleanser (OSO) in patients with grade 2 meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
Methods: Sixty participants with grade 2 MGD were enrolled and analyzed based on intention to treat basis in a prospective, randomized, single-blind trial for eye scrub using either diluted baby shampoo or OSO. The data collection included the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, compliance, and complications.
Background: Orbital exenteration is a disfiguring procedure that aims to achieve local control. It is commonly a part of the management of malignant orbital tumor which is a life-threatening condition. It is necessary to determine predictive factors associated with overall survival (OS) following orbital exenteration.

Material And Method: Eye examination data of normal volunteers aged between 18-96 years and intraocular pressure less than 22 mmHg were retrospectively reviewed. Subjects with possible conditions that affected the results of CCT and IOP measurement by NCT were excluded.
The authors report the case of a 61-year-old man with late postoperative capsular block syndrome who had undergone phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation 3 years earlier. He presented with a decreased vision in the right eye caused by the accumulation of liquefied milky fluid in the space between the posterior surface of IOL optic and the posterior capsule. Neodymium: YAG laser posterior capsulotomy allowed a resolution of the milky fluid and the improvement of the visual acuity to 20/20.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of amniotic membrane transplantation in providing symptom relief for patients suffering from bullous keratopathy.
- 17 patients participated, all experiencing severe pain, and the follow-up revealed that 82.4% of them reported significant pain relief after the procedure.
- Additionally, corneal epithelial healing was successful in most cases, making amniotic membrane transplantation a safe and visually preferable alternative to other treatments like conjunctival flaps.
