Aim: To report the efficacy of the revision of failed ab interno canaloplasty with micro-invasive suture trabeculotomy (MIST) over a follow-up period of 24 months.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 23 eyes with open-angle glaucoma (OAG), on whom an ab interno canaloplasty revision with MIST was performed for glaucoma progression. The primary outcome was the proportion of eyes with a significant intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction at 12 months post trabeculotomy, defined as an IOP ≤ 18 mm Hg or ≥20% reduction in IOP without any secondary intervention (SI), and with the same or fewer number of glaucoma medications (NGM).

Purpose: To report convergence insufficiency in a patient with Parkinson's' disease stimulated by turning on the deep brain stimulator.

Observations: 72-year-old male with Parkinson's disease and hypertension presenting for the evaluation of blurry vision at near and mid distance that started after activation of an implanted Deep brain stimulator.Baseline ophthalmologic evaluation prior to deep brain stimulator implantation surgery and with the deep brain stimulator turned off demonstrated a full motility, centered eyes for distance and near and a best corrected visual acuity of 20/20, normal pupil exam, confrontational visual fields and dilated fundus exam.

Digital marking systems have been shown to be more accurate at positioning toric intraocular lenses and hence providing better visual outcomes. Patients with cyclodeviation and concomitant astigmatism undergoing toric intraocular lens placement present an extra challenge. We present a case of a patient with high astigmatism and a preexisting superior oblique palsy where using the Verion™ digital marking system proved to be an extremely valuable tool.
