ADVANTAGES OF OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY AS A HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE IMAGING MODALITY IN SUBRETINAL HYPERREFLECTIVE MATERIAL.

Purpose: To describe the utility of high dynamic range optical coherence tomography imaging to study subretinal hyperreflective material (SHRM) in patients with age-related macular degeneration.

Methods: Clinical information including visual acuity and optical coherence tomography images (Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) of patients undergoing antiangiogenic treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration and showing SHRM at baseline were retrospectively reviewed. Contrast between strong signal structures (high dynamic range image) reclassifying SHRM as hyperreflective (HyperR), isoreflective, and hyporeflective was increased.

Influence of corneal biomechanical properties on intraocular pressure measurement in different types of Graves’ orbitopathy.

Background/aims: To compare the ocular biomechanical properties of inactive Grave's orbitopathy (GO) patients and healthy subjects and to evaluate the influence of severity and phenotype of GO on these parameters.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. All included inactive GO patients and healthy controls underwent complete ocular examination, including Goldman applanation tonometry (GAT), corneal biomechanical analysis using Ocular Response Analyser (ORA), and corneal epithelial thickness analysis using Optovue.

Descemet stripping only and ripasudil for the treatment of traumatic Descemet's membrane ruptures.

Purpose: Descemet´s membrane ruptures (with a discontinuation of Descemet´s membrane and double detached coiled edges) in the context of complicated anterior segment surgery have rarely been described and its management can be challenging. We report a modified Descemet stripping only (DSO) technique associated with ripasudil drops to treat these cases when other techniques fail.

Methods: We describe two cases of large Descemet´s membrane detachments associated with Descemet´s ruptures after cataract surgery that did not respond to two SF intracameral injections.

Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy after uneventful delivery in a healthy woman.

Introduction: Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most common cause of optic nerve swelling and optic neuropathy in adults over 50 years of age. It has been rarely reported during pregnancy, mostly related to systemic and ocular predisposing conditions.

Case Report: We report the case of a 44 years-old healthy female with no previous remarkable clinical history.

Case Report: Role of Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Late-onset Capsular Block Syndrome.

Significance: We report the use of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) as a valuable tool for capsular block syndrome diagnosis and follow-up.

Purpose: The purposes of this study are to report a case of late-onset capsular block syndrome or lacteocrumenasia and to describe differential diagnosis with other more common phacoemulsification complications such as intraocular lens (IOL) or posterior capsule opacification.

Case Report: We report the case of a 56-year-old man with a clinical history of cataract surgery in his left eye.

Two-Year Follow-up of Intracorneal Ring Segments Implantation in Adolescent Patients With Keratoconus.

Purpose: To evaluate the visual, refractive, topographic, and aberrometric outcomes after intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) implantation in adolescent patients with keratoconus.

Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study was undertaken with a total of 61 eyes from 47 patients with keratoconus, aged between 13 and 18 years, implanted with a Ferrara-type ICRS. Topography (flattest keratometry, steepest keratometry, and asphericity), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), refractive error (sphere and cylinder), and aberrometric measurements (spherical aberration and vertical coma) were evaluated before surgery and at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery.

Conjunctival bleb tearing by XEN gel stent after conjunctival compression sutures.

Purpose: As minimally invasive glaucoma surgery devices emerge, newer complications are reported. XEN gel stent is safer than classic glaucoma surgery but may also lead to severe adverse effects as hypotony. Compression conjunctival sutures are a useful treatment for overfiltration hypotony after XEN gel stent implantation, but might force bleb tearing by the implant as it gets tightly close to the sutured conjunctiva.

IFT144 and mild retinitis pigmentosa in Mainzer-Saldino syndrome: A new association.

Ciliopathies are a wide and heterogeneous group of diseases affecting intraflagellar transport. Among them, Mainzer-Saldino syndrome (MSS) shows phalangeal cone-shaped epiphysis, renal disease and retinal involvement. Short stature, cerebellar ataxia and hepatic fibrosis might also be found.

Transscleral versus endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation outcomes for refractory glaucoma.

Objectives: Evaluate the efficacy of transscleral cyclophotocoagulation versus endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation to reduce intraocular pressure.

Methods: A retrospective, non-randomized cohort study with 1 year of follow-up included 62 eyes of 62 refractory glaucoma patients who underwent transscleral cyclophotocoagulation or endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation.

Results: Thirty-two patients were enrolled in transscleral cyclophotocoagulation group and 30 patients in endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation group, and the follow-up period was 1 year.

Dermoid Cyst: Outcome Analysis in a Pediatric Referral Hospital.

Purpose: To describe the management of dermoid cysts in a pediatric referral hospital.

Methods: Retrospective review of 115 patients with pathological diagnosis of dermoid cyst in a pediatric referral hospital between 2003 and 2019.

Results: One hundred fifteen patients, 51 (44.
