"Coming up short" with an illuminated microcatheter for circumferential trabeculotomy externo in the buphthalmic infant eye: frequency and options.

An illuminated microcatheter is frequently used to perform trabeculotomy ab externo in infants with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). Enlarged corneas in these children can make it challenging to traverse 360 of Schlemm's canal (SC) before reaching the passable limit of the microcatheter. Using basic geometry, we predicted that the iTrack microcatheter would fail to cannulate SC completely in eyes with a horizontal corneal diameter (HCD) >14.

Resident Participation and Patient Outcomes in Vitreoretinal Surgery.

This prospective, observational cohort study of 116 patients found that residents could participate in ~40% of vitreoretinal surgery cases with good visual and anatomical outcomes. Ophthalmology residents can participate in vitreoretinal surgery with appropriate supervision.

NOVEL PRPH2/RDS MUTATION IDENTIFIED IN A FAMILY WITH VARYING CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS: A CASE REPORT.

Purpose: To present the case of a family with a novel PRPH2/RDS mutation.

Methods: A case report of a 44-year-old woman and her immediate family, including the father and a sister who shared her PRPH2/RDS mutation.

Results: A 44-year-old woman presented with examination findings consistent with a butterfly-type pattern dystrophy.

Retinal disease in the neurology clinic.

Purpose Of Review: Retinal disease can manifest with visual symptoms similar to those which result from central nervous system disorders. We provide a framework for considering retinal causes of common visual complaints presenting to a neurology clinic.

Recent Findings: Technological advances have afforded quicker detection and a more thorough understanding of these retinal entities and are crucial to consider when evaluating visual complaints in the neurology clinic.
