Wound healing in the oral mucosa is superior to that in the skin, with faster wound closure accompanied by reduced inflammation, less angiogenesis, and minimal scar formation. A well-characterized oral wound model is critical to investigating the mechanisms of oral wound closure and the efficacy of various clinical interventions. Currently, there are a few human oral wound models, although none of them are well characterized.

- Manual small incision cataract surgery (SICS) is a safe and cost-effective alternative to phacoemulsification, particularly beneficial for patients in developing countries and for complex cases in developed nations.
- The new "Tunnel stamp" device assists novice surgeons in making precise sclero corneal tunnels (SCTs) by guiding incision lengths and shapes, thereby reducing complications.
- Future plans involve designing the device in transparent flexible silicon and in various sizes to cater to different cataract types, improving alignment and overall surgical outcomes.
Viral keratitis is a significant cause of ocular morbidity and visual impairment worldwide. In recent years, there has been a growing understanding of the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic modalities for viral keratitis. The most common viral pathogens associated with this condition are adenovirus, herpes simplex (HSV), and varicella-zoster virus (VZV).

In the present case, a cell-based therapy with autologous fibroblasts seeded onto a Type 1 collagen membrane, through an culturing method was utilized. The fibroblasts-seeded membrane was surgically placed under a laterally repositioned flap.

- * The patient, who had pseudophakic bullous keratopathy, experienced unexpected vision loss after four months of BCL treatment meant to alleviate pain.
- * Investigations, including a slit-lamp examination and microbial testing of the removed BCL, confirmed the presence of the fungus using Sanger sequencing for precise identification.
