Background: The purpose of the study was to assess visual outcomes, complications, intraocular lens (IOL) stability, and corneal status after sutured scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation combined with penetrating keratoplasty (PKP).
Methods: This retrospective single-arm cohort study included patients who underwent PKP and sutured scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation between 2013 and 2018 at the Dhahran Eye Specialty Hospital. The eyes were examined postoperatively at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.
Objective: To review the clinical features, causative organisms, complications, and outcomes of patients with pediatric bacterial keratitis at a tertiary care eye hospital.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at a tertiary care eye centre on clinically diagnosed pediatric patients with bacterial keratitis between 2007 and 2019. Poor outcomes were labelled if any of the following were present: final best-corrected visual acuity worse than 20/200, a drop in best-corrected visual acuity by 1 line or more, perforated corneas, endophthalmitis, and graft failure.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine the publication rates of abstracts presented at the annual Saudi Ophthalmology Society (SOS) Conferences from 2015 to 2018.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study on abstracts collected from the scientific programs for the SOS meetings from 2015 to 2018. Titles and first authors' names were used in the search process on PubMed.
Purpose: The study aims to assess the alterations in retinal oxygen saturation and retinal and choroidal blood flow in lipemia retinalis.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on 10 eyes (5 patients) with history of lipemia retinalis. The study comprised 10 eyes with documented history of lipemia retinalis and 10 participants as healthy controls.
