Thyroid Eye Disease With Significant Levator Involvement and Ptosis: A Case Report.

A case of an 87-year-old woman with a history of Graves disease presenting with a 5-year history of severe ptosis and very poor levator function of the left side is presented. MRI revealed marked enlargement of all extraocular muscles and significant enlargement of the left levator muscle. Given the patient's age and atypical presentation of thyroid eye disease (TED), she was taken to the operating room for biopsy and ptosis repair with frontalis suspension.

Granular cell tumor masquerading as a chalazion: a case report.

Granular cell tumors were first described in the 1920s and since then have been commonly found throughout the body. They are rarely found in periorbital, orbital, and ocular structures. The authors present a patient with a 2-year history of a lesion that had been previously excised as a presumed chalazion without pathologic analysis.

Ocular injuries in trauma patients: an analysis of 28,340 trauma admissions in the 2003-2007 National Trauma Data Bank National Sample Program.

Background: Trauma-induced eye injuries are the leading cause of monocular blindness in the United States. Few studies to date have focused on ocular injuries in the trauma population. Our intent was to determine the annual percentage of ocular injury, types of injuries, and percentage with ocular injury-related procedures performed during the same hospitalization.

Comparison of the Visian ICL and Verisyse phakic intraocular lenses for myopia from 6.00 to 20.00 diopters.

Purpose: To compare visual and refractive outcomes between the Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) and Verisyse phakic intraocular lens.

Methods: Comparative interventional case series for myopia between 6.00 and 20.

Functional optical zone after myopic LASIK as a function of ablation diameter.

Purpose: To analyze spherical aberrations in patients who had myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with different optical zones and varying degrees of attempted corrections.

Setting: Laser Refractive Center, University of California, Los Angeles, USA.

Methods: This retrospective analysis comprised 78 eyes of 56 consecutive patients who had LASIK for myopia with the Alcon LADARVision excimer laser.

Laser in situ keratomileusis for hyperopia with the LADARVision 4000 with centration on the coaxially sighted corneal light reflex.

Purpose: To analyze the visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and target deviations in patients who had laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for primary hyperopia with the ablation centered on the coaxially sighted corneal light reflex.

Setting: University-based refractive surgery practice.

Methods: Retrospective review comprised 37 consecutive patients (61 eyes) who had LASIK for hyperopia with the LADARVision 4000 excimer laser (Alcon Laboratories).

Use of large optical zones with the LADARVision laser for myopia and myopic astigmatism.

Purpose: To analyze the visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and target deviations of patients who underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for spherical and astigmatic myopia with up to 8.0-mm laser optical zones.

Design: A retrospective noncomparative interventional case series.
