Introduction: Bilateral hemorrhagic hypopyon, also known as candy cane hypopyon, is an extremely rare presentation which we report as a unique case in association with intraocular mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Case Presentation: A 63-year-old white male presented with a 3-week history of conjunctival injection OS that was unresponsive to erythromycin ointment and topical steroids, in the setting of recently discovered diffuse lymphadenopathy and malaise. On presentation, he was found to have bilateral hemorrhagic hypopyon.
Nematodes of the Onchocercidae family, such as Pelecitus spp., are filarial parasites of medical and veterinary importance. Although infections are widely distributed among avian species, only 2 cases of human Pelecitus ocular infection, both in South America, have been reported.

Methods: Medical records of eight patients diagnosed with pars planitis and treated with monthly 4 or 8 mg/kg IV TCZ were reviewed. The primary objective was to initiate and sustain remission continuously for three consecutive months.
Purpose: To evaluate the laser power stability of the SubCyclo probe for micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation after repeated use.
Materials And Methods: This experimental study involved 6 new probes. Each probe was connected to the SubCyclo mode (2,000 mW power, 31.

Design: Single-center, retrospective cross-sectional study.
Patients And Methods: Patients with autoimmune retinopathy who underwent anti-retinal antibody testing at least twice during their follow-up were enrolled.
Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of a local infection control protocol for cataract surgery (CS) during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and determine the trend of CSs and visual outcomes during this period, as compared to the pre-COVID-19 pandemic period.
Methods: This study was conducted at Suddhavej Hospital, Mahasarakham University, Mahasarakham, Thailand, between July 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021. In this two-phase study, we used only a COVID-19-screening questionnaire during the first phase and preoperative nasopharyngeal swab severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing for real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction in the second phase, during Thailand's second COVID-19 wave.
