We report an atypical case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of bilateral lacrimal glands and paranasal sinus following mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the lung. Bilateral DLBCL is rare in the literature, and only few cases of DLBCL in bilateral lacrimal gland are reported. A 71-year-old male presented with bilateral, slowly enlarging, and swelling of both eyelids.

Methods: A retrospective, comparative case series that included 50 patients with fovea-attached type epiretinal membrane who received micro-incision vitrectomy surgery using a non-contact wide-angle viewing system.
Results: All patients were followed-up for a minimum of 12 months.
Penetrating orbital injury with a foreign body is a complex problem that requires an interdisciplinary therapeutic approach. Conventionally, an external approach using either transconjuntival or transseptal entry is used by an ophthalmologist. However, there is a risk of damage to the optic nerve and orbital tissue using only the traditional approach.

- The tumor in the lacrimal sac was carefully removed to avoid damage to crucial structures like the eyeball and optic nerve, using a method called transnasal endoscopic-assisted excision.
- A 55-year-old female patient with a history of thyroid cancer presented with a tumor that had invaded her lacrimal sac and surrounding areas, which was successfully removed with image-guided navigation techniques.
- Post-surgery, the patient experienced minimal swelling and no major complications, and despite recommendations for more extensive surgery, she opted for this less invasive approach to preserve her eye function.
Background: To evaluate the efficacy of micro-incision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) using Lumera and Resight non-contact sutureless wide-angle viewing systems (WAVS) for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), and to analyze the anatomical and visual outcomes.
Methods: The retrospective, non-comparative, interventional case series reported here was conducted from June 2014 through November 2016. Enrolled patients presented with primary RRD and received MIVS with/without cryopexy by one surgeon using the Lumera and Resight non-contact sutureless WAVS.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) for the treatment of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis, and to report the factors which influence the outcome.
Methods: This retrospective case series included eyes with post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis that had received MIVS between June 2014 and May 2017. The anatomical and functional results were analyzed.
