External levator resection for involutional ptosis: is intraoperative suture adjustment necessary for good outcomes?

: To directly compare an algorithmic external levator resection technique with the choice of intraoperative adjustment to the same technique without intraoperative adjustments. : A sequential controlled prospective comparative cohort study. Two cohorts were compared: a historical control adjustment, and an experimental non-adjustment group.

The Translaminar Pressure Gradient: Papilledema After Trabeculectomy Treated With Optic Nerve Sheath Fenestration.

Introduction: Trans-lamina cribrosa pressure has been postulated to be a contributor in the development of a glaucomatous optic nerve versus optic nerve edema, depending on the pressure gradient. Uncertainty remains in the therapeutic outcome of adjusting this gradient.

Case Report: We discuss a unique case of idiopathic intracranial hypertension presenting as asymmetric optic disc edema following trabeculectomy.

Primary Extracranial Meningioma of the Lacrimal Sac Fossa.

Primary extracranial meningioma is a rare tumor, unlike its common intracranial counterpart. Infrequently found in the head and neck region, it can cause local or neurologic symptoms depending on its location and interaction with cranial nerves. While uncommon, it is an important diagnosis to have on the differential of periorbital lesions as surgical removal and prognosis are generally good.

Medical Cannabis, a Beneficial High in Treatment of Blepharospasm? An Early Observation.

The objective of this study was to observe the effect of medical cannabis in benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) as an adjunct to botulinum toxin. A retrospective chart review was performed on patients certified for medical cannabis use for BEB from September 2015 to May 2016. Patient demographics and responses, cannabis history, and severity indices were collected.

Single clear corneal incision for glaucoma drainage device shortening in pediatric glaucoma.

Glaucoma drainage devices are commonly used for management of glaucoma in adults and children. With time, the position of the tube can change and cause damage such as corneal scarring, iris or lens contact, and uveitis. Most of these problems can be improved with tube shortening and/or excision of adherent iris or fibrous tissue.

A Unique Ocular Presentation of Extragenital Lichen Sclerosus.

Lichen sclerosus is a chronic, debilitating, and recurring disease that is most commonly seen affecting the anogenital region. Extragenital locations of lichen sclerosus has been well documented, frequently seen in the shoulders, neck, trunk, breasts, and arms, however, infrequently of the face. Specifically, extragenital lichen sclerosus has been reported in several cases to be involving the infraorbital region, but to our knowledge it has never been found affecting the adnexa of the eye.
