Prognostic Utility of Whole-Genome Sequencing and Polymerase Chain Reaction Tests of Ocular Fluids in Postprocedural Endophthalmitis.

Purpose: To associate detection of potential pathogen DNA in endophthalmitis with clinical outcomes.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Methods: Patients in whom endophthalmitis was diagnosed following an intraocular procedure were recruited.

Loss to Follow-up Among Patients With Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Who Received Intravitreal Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Injections.

Importance: Loss to follow-up (LTFU) after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections increases the risk of vision loss among patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Objective: To report rates of LTFU among patients with nAMD after anti-VEGF injections and to identify risk factors associated with LTFU in this population.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study of data from 9007 patients who received anti-VEGF injections for treatment of nAMD was performed at an urban, private retina practice with multiple locations from April 1, 2012, to January 12, 2016.

Patient Comfort with Yellow (577 nm) vs. Green (532 nm) Laser Panretinal Photocoagulation for Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy.

Purpose: Pain associated with panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) can adversely affect the number and quality of retinal burns delivered and subsequently increase the number of treatment sessions required to achieve regression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). We assessed comfort in patients undergoing treatment with yellow (577 nm) vs. green (532 nm) PRP for PDR.

BILATERAL OCCIPITAL POLE HYPERTENSIVE STROKE DIAGNOSED WITH MACULAR INTEGRITY ASSESSMENT (MAIA) MICROPERIMETRY.

Purpose: To describe the utility of microperimetry testing in the diagnosis of a bilateral occipital stroke.

Methods: Retrospective case report.

Results: A 57-year-old male with hypertension presented with complaints of bilateral blurred central vision and bilateral hypertensive retinopathy with cotton-wool spots.

HEMORRHAGIC OCCLUSIVE RETINAL VASCULITIS AND NONHEMORRHAGIC VASCULITIS AFTER UNCOMPLICATED CATARACT SURGERY WITH INTRACAMERAL VANCOMYCIN.

Purpose: To describe two cases of vasculitis: one hemorrhagic and one nonhemorrhagic after uncomplicated cataract surgery with intracameral vancomycin.

Methods: Retrospective case series.

Results: A 74-year-old female and a 54-year-old female developed severe visual loss within 2 weeks of uncomplicated cataract surgery with intracameral vancomycin.

MULTIFOCAL RETINAL INFILTRATES WITH PHLEBITIS AND OPTIC NEUROPATHY IN AN HIV-POSITIVE PEDIATRIC PATIENT.

Purpose: To describe an unusual presentation of bilateral HIV-associated multifocal retinal infiltrates with phlebitis and optic neuropathy in a pediatric patient from Zimbabwe, Africa.

Methods: Retrospective case report of a 15-year-old boy from Zimbabwe, Africa.

Results: The patient was found to have bilateral vitritis, multifocal retinitis with phlebitis, and optic neuropathy in the setting of previously unrecognized HIV infection.

Idiopathic Orbital Inflammation Associated With Necrotizing Scleritis and Temporal Bone Inflammation.

The authors present a case of aggressive idiopathic orbital inflammation producing necrotizing scleritis along with synchronous tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesion of the temporal bone. A young woman with no medical history presented with sectoral scleritis and mildly reduced vision. Response to initial treatment, which included topical and systemic corticosteroids, as well as systemic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, was limited.

The oculocardiac reflex in an adult with a non-displaced orbital floor fracture.

The current dogma is that the oculocardiac reflex from orbital trapdoor fractures occurs only in children and young adults. We present the occurrence of the oculocardiac reflex in an adult with a non-displaced orbital floor fracture. CT demonstrated the adventitia surrounding the inferior rectus trapped in and below the orbital floor fracture.

Effectiveness of medial rectus advancement alone or in combination with resection or lateral rectus recession in the management of consecutive exotropia.

Purpose: To prospectively determine the long-term success of medial rectus advancement alone or in combination with other procedures in the management of consecutive exotropia.

Methods: All patients with consecutive exotropia who underwent medial rectus advancement alone or in combination with medial rectus resection or lateral rectus recession or both, performed by a single surgeon between 1999 and 2010, were included. Initially, a retrospective review was performed.
