Superior rectus belly transposition in a case of lost medial rectus muscle.

We present a case of exotropia secondary to a lost medial rectus muscle managed using a novel surgical approach, consisting of nasal belly transposition of the superior rectus muscle combined with lateral rectus recession on adjustable sutures. Postoperatively, the patient was orthotropic in primary position and had slight improvement in adduction. Compared to other techniques, this minimal transposition had a relatively low risk of anterior segment ischemia.

The Effect of the Water Drinking Test on Ocular Parameters and Choroidal Thickness in Glaucoma Suspects.

: We aimed to evaluate the effects of the water drinking test (WDT) on several systemic and ocular parameters, including choroidal thickness, which was assessed through optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), in glaucoma suspects. : A total of 40 eyes from 20 glaucoma suspects without any systemic or ocular diseases were included in this prospective observational study. All the participants undertook the WDT, which required the drinking of 1 L of table water in 5 min.

Treatment of Progressive Scleromalacia Perforans by Tectonic Enhancement With Lyophilized Equine Pericardium.

Purpose: To describe the off-label use of lyophilized equine pericardium for tectonic enhancement of the sclera in a case of progressive scleromalacia perforans.

Methods: An 82-year-old woman with a history of varicella zoster virus sclerokeratitis presented with a progressively expanding scleral thinning at the superonasal quadrant of the anterior sclera of her left eye. The eye was blind because of intractable glaucoma.
