Conjunctival collagen crosslinking for the management of bleb leak.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness of collagen crosslinking of filtering blebs with 0.1% riboflavin stimulated with ultraviolet A radiation in a case of a thin-walled filtering bleb with leakage following an episode of late blebitis. The time to cessation of the bleb leakage was studied, as well as the intraocular pressure, the visual acuity, and the presence of adverse effects during 4 years of follow-up after treatment.

Anatomical and functional outcomes of Boston type I keratoprosthesis as primary penetrating corneal procedure in high-risk and non-high-risk cases.

Purpose: To analyze the anatomical and functional results of Boston type I keratoprosthesis (B1-KPro) as a primary corneal procedure in high-risk (HR) cases and non-high-risk (NHR) cases.

Methods: In this retrospective interventional case series, all patients who underwent B1-KPro at a single center between January 2006 and March 2021 were reviewed and identified. Cases were classified according to the primary diagnosis.

A case report of isolated primary herpes-simplex virus neuroretinitis in an immunocompetent adult.

Background: Herpes simplex virus (specifically HSV-1 and HSV-2) are greatly prevalent viruses that can cause conjunctivitis, keratitis and other rarer ocular disorders such as acute retinal necrosis syndrome or neuroretinitis. We report a case of an isolated unilateral neuroretinitis with primary HSV infection in an immunocompetent adult without other related clinical features.

Case Presentation: A 60-year-old immunocompetent woman presented with sudden painless central vision loss in her left eye (best corrected visual acuity was 20/200) showing optic disc edema, submacular fluid and a delayed development of a macular star.

Surgical mobilization of an arterial embolus in cilioretinal artery occlusion.

We describe an effective surgical approach for the management of cilioretinal artery occlusion. A 23-G pars plana vitrectomy assisted with two soft tip cannulas was performed. One cannula pressed the cilioretinal artery branch directed toward the macula, distal to the location of the embolus, whereas the other cannula was used to gently swipe over the cilioretinal artery proximal to the occlusion.

The use of topical cyclosporine A 0.05% as treatment for primary alacrimia in Allgrove syndrome.

Introduction: The purpose is to report a case on the use of cyclosporine A 0.05% for primary alacrimia in Allgrove syndrome or triple A syndrome (alacrimia, achalasia, and adrenal insufficiency).

Case Description: A 37-year-old man with achalasia treated surgically 11 years ago presented with sensation of a foreign body, irritation, and intermittent ocular redness for several years.
