Anaphylactic reaction secondary to topical preoperative moxifloxacin.

Unlabelled: We report a case of anaphylactic shock following topical administration of moxifloxacin for endophthalmitis prophylaxis prior to cataract surgery. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) serology and IgE skin testing confirmed the anaphylactic etiology. Phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation was later performed with identical preoperative preparation except for the exclusion of moxifloxacin; no anaphylactic response occurred.

Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty for spontaneous descemet membrane detachment in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta.

Purpose: To report the first use of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) for spontaneous Descemet membrane detachment in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), keratoconus, and acute bullous keratopathy.

Methods: A case report of a 25-year-old man with OI and symptomatic unilateral bullous keratopathy secondary to spontaneous Descemet membrane detachment is described. The patient presented with acute loss of vision in his right eye and was noted on slit-lamp examination to have a totally detached and taut Descemet membrane, spanning the anterior chamber.
