Purpose: To report our experience with systemic cyclosporine as a treatment for severe vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) in pediatric patients who did not respond to previous treatments.
Methods: We analyzed the medical records of 6 patients, aged 4 to 15 years, with severe VKC treated with systemic cyclosporine for VKC at Shamir Medical Center in Zerifin, Israel, between the years 2000 and 2023. The average treatment duration was 18 months.

Purpose: Aniridia is a rare panocular disorder caused by mutations in the PAX6 gene and characterized mainly by iris hypoplasia. Here, we present six families with a history of low vision/blindness with a previously undiagnosed mild aniridia phenotype with minimal iris changes.
Methods: Retrospective case series of patients diagnosed with a subtle aniridia phenotype characterized by minimal iris abnormalities, foveal hypoplasia, and an identified mutation in PAX6.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess how stable intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements are when taken successively in patients with glaucoma.
- - Sixty-seven glaucoma patients underwent four IOP measurements, showing a significant decrease in pressure with each successive reading, unlike the control group of cataract surgery patients, who showed no notable changes.
- - The findings suggest that IOP in glaucoma patients tends to decrease with repeated measurements, whereas those without glaucoma maintain stable pressure levels.
