Dystrophia Adiposa Corneae: An Out-of-the-Box Diagnosis.

Dystrophia adiposa corneae is a degenerative corneal disorder characterised by fatty deposition, leading to corneal opacity and reduced visual acuity. We report a case of an Indian male in his early 40s with bilateral peripheral deep lipid deposition in the corneal stroma, beginning in an arcuate fashion and progressing to an annular-shaped structure. Furthermore, cholesterol crystals, as well as crystalline structures, were seen without any neovascularisation.

Corneal Deposits Following Combined Gatifloxacin and Prednisolone Therapy Post-Keratoplasty: A Report of a Rare Case.

Corneal deposits associated with topical medications, particularly fluoroquinolones, are a recognized complication in ophthalmic practice. We present a case of a 66-year-old female with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy who developed corneal crystalline deposits following prolonged use of gatifloxacin and prednisolone eye drops post-penetrating keratoplasty. The patient presented with diminished vision and significant corneal opacity in the affected eye.

Unusual case of globe perforation: the brittle cornea without systemic manifestations.

Brittle cornea syndrome is a rare generalised connective tissue disorder with ocular features like keratoglobus or keratoconus, severe corneal thinning and a high risk of perforation. Various authors in different case reports and case series have brought out the fact that brittle cornea is a disorder with characteristic systemic manifestations such as deafness, joint hypermobility, hyperelasticity of skin, kyphoscoliosis and dental abnormalities alongwith ophthalmic features. We report a case of globe perforation following trivial trauma, in an individual with brittle cornea without any extraocular manifestations, posing a challenge in the diagnosis and dilemma in surgical repair of cornea, restoration of globe integrity and visual rehabilitation.

Outcome of optical penetrating keratoplasties at a tertiary care eye institute in Western India.

Aim: To study the indications, risk factors, postoperative course, and long-term survival of corneal transplants done for optical purposes.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Materials And Methods: Data were obtained by reviewing the records of 181 patients operated at our institute (H.
