Depth, size of infiltrate, and the microbe - The trio that prognosticates the outcome of infective keratitis.

Purpose: To analyze the influence of infiltrate size, depth, and organism on the outcome of microbial keratitis.

Design: Retrospective comparative study.

Methods: Medical records of patients with infective keratitis, who reported from January 2015 to December 2019 to a tertiary eye care center, were analyzed.

Diverse presentations of ectopia lentis and lens coloboma in Marfan's syndrome.

Marfan's syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder with defect in the fibrillin-1 gene. The most common ocular manifestation is subluxated lens in the superotemporal direction, accounting for 50%-85% of total cases. The association of lens coloboma with MFS has been described in literature, but the coexistence of lens coloboma with ectopia lentis is a rare feature.

keratitis presenting as a ring infiltrate in an adolescent girl.

The purpose of the study was to report a unique case of keratitis presenting as a ring infiltrate in an adolescent girl. A 16-year-old girl presented with decreased vision in the right eye preceding an episode of fever with a rash associated with burning micturition. The patient was examined after taking appropriate consent.

Clinico-microbiological Profile of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Keratitis.

Purpose: To assess the clinical and microbiological characteristics of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) keratitis and to evaluate their response to medical therapy.

Methods: Sixteen patients of NTM keratitis were retrospectively reviewed from May 2014 to May 2019. Laboratory diagnosis were made using Ziehl-Nielsen acid-fast staining, routine culture method of isolation of nontuberculous mycobacteria and further identification of species by PCR (polymerase chain reaction)-based DNA sequencing targeting the heat shock protein-65 () gene.

Bilateral lipid keratopathy with rheumatic fever in siblings.

Purpose: To report two unusual cases of lipid keratopathy in siblings with rheumatic fever and positive anti-phospholipid antibodies.

Methods: Clinical and histopathological examination along with complete systemic work-up was done after taking appropriate consent from the patients. A serum lipid profile showed elevated cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins.

Coexistence of Fungal Keratitis in Bilateral Sequential Microsporidial Keratitis - A Rare Case Presentation.

Aim: To report a case of bilateral microsporidiosis with coexisting fungal infection in one eye.

Method: Retrospective interventional case report.

Results: A 61-year-old man with uncontrolled diabetes presented with clinical and microbiological features of non-resolving fungal keratitis in the right eye since 3 months and underwent therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (TPK) for the same.

Preliminary experience & rationale of primary allo Simple Limbal Epithelial Transplantation (SLET) following surgical excision of Ocular Surface Tumors.

Aim: To report the preliminary outcomes and elucidate the possible rationale of alloSLET for primary ocular surface reconstruction following excision of extensive ocular surface tumors.

Methods: Retrospective interventional case series with a minimum postoperative follow up of 1 year. AlloSLET was performed along with wide surgical excision and cryotherapy in 3 eyes.

Atypical Case of Bilateral Chandler Syndrome With Recurrent Band Keratopathy.

Purpose: To report a unique case of bilateral Chandler syndrome with recurrent band keratopathy.

Methods: This is a retrospective observational case report.

Results: A 39-year-old Asian man presented with progressive painless diminution of vision in both eyes for 6 years.
