Pupil response to tropicamide following corneal crosslinking.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of corneal crosslinking (CXL) with ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation on pupil response to tropicamide 0.5% instillation.

Methods: This prospective interventional study enrolled 17 patients (19 eyes) with progressive keratoconus who underwent CXL with UVA irradiation.

Ophthalmic Metastasis of Breast Cancer and Ocular Side Effects from Breast Cancer Treatment and Management: Mini Review.

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant diseases occurring in women, and its incidence increases over the years. It is the main site of origin in ocular metastatic disease in women, and, due to its hematogenous nature of metastatic spread, it affects mainly the uveal tissue. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the clinical manifestations of the breast cancer ocular metastatic disease, alongside the side effects of the available treatment options for the management and regression of the systematic and ophthalmic disease.

Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking Mushroom Shape Demarcation Line Profile After Limited Bowman's Membrane Removal by Phototherapeutic Keratectomy.

Purpose: To report a corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) mushroom shape demarcation line profile after limited Bowman's membrane removal by phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK).

Methods: Case report.

Results: A twenty-one-year-old male with progressive keratoconus underwent mechanical epithelial debridement (at an 8.

Transient anisocoria after corneal collagen cross-linking.

Purpose. To report a case with transient anisocoria after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL). Methods.

Peripheral sea-fan retinal neovascularization as a manifestation of chronic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and surgical management.

Background: To report the rare occurrence of peripheral retinal sea-fan neovascularization in a patient with chronic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and describe the surgical management.

Case Presentation: A 29-year-old female patient was referred to our department by her ophthalmologist for investigation and treatment of peripheral retinal neovascularization in her right eye(RE). Visual acuity(VA) at presentation was 20/200 RE and 20/20 LE.

Systematic review of 342 cases of endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis.

We review a total of 342 cases of endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis reported between 1986 and 2012. Predisposing conditions were present in 60%, most commonly diabetes, intravenous drug use, and malignancy. The most common sources of infection were liver, lung, endocardium, urinary tract, and meninges.

Safety and efficacy of dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex) for the treatment of persistent macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion in eyes previously treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factors.

Purpose: To report our results concerning the safety and efficacy of repeated sustained-release dexamethasone 0.7 mg implants (Ozurdex, Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA) in patients with persistent Macular Edema (ME) due to Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) previously treated with anti- VEGF injections.

Large bilateral foveal cysts in the inner retina of a patient treated with tamoxifen, diagnosed with Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To report a case of a patient receiving tamoxifen with visual deterioration and describe the unusual optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings.

Method: Observational case report.

Results: A 55-year-old female patient was referred to our department complaining of gradual visual deterioration in both eyes.
