Abandoned Cataract Surgeries: An Analysis of Surgical Referrals to a Tertiary Eye Center.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the outcomes of cases of abandoned cataract surgeries referred to a tertiary eye center.

Methods: This retrospective observational case series includes eleven cases referred to a tertiary eye center following abandoned cataract surgeries. The preoperative factors, intraoperative management, and postoperative outcomes were recorded and analyzed.

Functional genomics of primary congenital glaucoma by pathway analysis and functional characterization of CYP1B1 mutations.

CYP1B1 is the most common gene implicated in primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) - the most common form of childhood glaucoma. How CYP1B1 mutations cause PCG is not known. Understanding the mechanism of PCG caused by CYP1B1 mutations is crucial for disease management, therapeutics development, and potential prevention.

Microscope-Integrated OCT-Assisted Real-time Monitoring of Central Corneal Thickness During Corneal Cross-linking.

Purpose: To assess real-time intraoperative pachymetry changes occurring during corneal cross-linking (CXL) using microscope-integrated optical coherence tomography (Mi-OCT) and compare accuracy of various modalities of pachymetry assessment.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational comparative study including 45 consecutive patients with progressive keratoconus planned for CXL. Mi-OCT (RESCAN 700) was used to measure central corneal thickness (CCT) during four stages of CXL: before epithelial debridement, after debridement, after riboflavin instillation, and after ultraviolet irradiation.
