Pediatric blepharokeratoconjunctivitis (PBKC) is a chronic and recurrent ocular surface inflammatory disorder affecting children in early life. It is frequently under- or late- diagnosed, representing a potential cause of severe visual morbidity worldwide. An expert panel consensus recently agreed on its definition and proposed diagnostic criteria for suspected and definitive PBKC to reduce confusion and avoid varied terminology previously used in the literature, improving early and precise diagnosis.

Secondarily, the corneal sensitivity threshold measurements of the NCE were compared with those of the Cochet-Bonnet esthesiometer (CBE).
Design: Assessment reliability study.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 60 patients reviewed, most were middle-aged males from the U.S., with a significant proportion experiencing neurological issues and diabetes as a common health factor.
- * Key eye symptoms included multifocal chorioretinal lesions and inflammation, with many eyes not receiving treatment; the study highlights the importance of considering WNVI in older patients showing eye issues after recent flu-like symptoms.
To determine the efficacy of switching to intravitreal (IVT) faricimab in patients with treatment-resistant neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and determine the rates of reversion to original antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy. A retrospective chart review was performed of patients with nAMD and persistent fluid on optical coherence tomography previously treated with anti-VEGF injections who received at least 1 IVT faricimab injection between March 1, 2022, and January 31, 2023. The study comprised 135 eyes of 119 patients.
