Purpose: To compare endothelial cell density (ECD), percentage of hexagonal cells (%Hex) and coefficient of variation (CV) in cell size following lens cataract surgery with phacoemulsification performed using Continuous Curvilinear Capsulorhexis (CCC) or Precision Pulse Capsulotomy (PPC).
Patients And Methods: Sixty-seven subjects were randomly assigned to undergo lens cataract removal with the capsulotomy step performed using either CCC or PPC. Specular microscopy images were obtained pre-operatively, 1 month and 3 months after surgery.
Purpose: To report a case of direct contact xylene-related vacuolar keratopathy.
Methods: Interventional case report and review of the literature.
Results: Xylene keratopathy is a distinct clinical entity characterized by significantly decreased visual acuity, increased corneal thickness, and the presence of corneal epithelial and stromal vacuoles on a diffuse gray stromal background.

Purpose: To determine the accuracy and reproducibility of scotopic pupil measurements with a slitlamp-based cobalt blue light.
Setting: University of Texas Health Science Center-San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Methods: In a prospective experimental study, 2 independent observers measured 16 subjects' pupils with a standard slitlamp-based cobalt blue light.
Purpose: To report a case of Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome (POS) in which, despite a borderline serology, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for a conjunctival biopsy was positive for Bartonella henselae, a source of cat-scratch disease. A Steiner silver stain demonstrated the organism.
Methods: Case Report.
