Optic Neuritis After COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Series and a Review of Literature.

Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic broke out in March 2020, causing tremendous damage to public health and more than 6 million deaths. After authorization for the emergency use of COVID-19 vaccines, various adverse events have been reported, including optic neuritis. COVID-19 vaccination was implemented in Taiwan in March 2021.

Significant Changes of Corneal Astigmatism After Levator Muscle Surgery for Acquired Blepharoptosis.

Purpose: To investigate the change of corneal astigmatism after the correction of blepharoptosis.

Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study conducted in Taiwan from 2017 to 2021. The medical records of patients with acquired blepharoptosis who had received levator muscle surgeries were collected.

Eyelid and scleral thermal injury following phacoemulsification in silicone oil: a case report.

Background: Phacoemulsification has been the mainstay method for extracapsular cataract extraction surgery in the anterior segment; for cases of posterior drop of lens fragments into the vitreous, a posterior segment phacoemulsification instrument (fragmatome; Alcon, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) can be employed to remove the dislocated lens materials. Studies have reported on thermal injury to the cornea during phacmoemulsification of the anterior segment.

Susac Syndrome Following COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Report.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous vaccines have been developed for the disease. However, with large-scale vaccination has come the gradual emergence of immunological phenomena caused by these new vaccines. Herein, we report a 48-year-old female with a sudden onset of inferior visual field defects in the left eye following her first dose of the ChAdOx1 vaccine.

Ocular Manifestations after Receiving COVID-19 Vaccine: A Systematic Review.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had profound and lasting consequences since 2019. Although vaccines against COVID-19 have been developed and approved under emergency use authorization, various adverse events have also been reported after COVID-19 vaccination. This review was undertaken to help clinicians recognize the possible manifestations and systemic pathogenesis, especially those related to the eye, after receiving COVID-19 vaccination.

Concurrent Pseudomonas Periorbital Necrotizing Fasciitis and Endophthalmitis: A Case Report and Literature Review.

(1) Background: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an infection involving the superficial fascia and subcutaneous tissue. Endophthalmitis is an infection within the ocular ball. Herein we report a rare case of concurrent periorbital NF and endophthalmitis, caused by (PA).

Scleritis and anterior uveitis may herald the development of an epibulbar tumor in patients with extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease: a case report.

Background: Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Ocular involvement is even rarer, mostly involving the orbit and eyelids, although marginal corneal ulcers, uveitis, and epibulbar masses have also been reported, and is characterized by multiple recurrences. However, the disease course and optimal treatment strategies remain undetermined, in light of the rarity of this disease.

Therapeutic outcomes of combined topical autologous serum eye drops with silicone-hydrogel soft contact lenses in the treatment of corneal persistent epithelial defects: A preliminary study.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of topical 20% autologous serum eye drops (ASEs) and silicone-hydrogel soft contact lenses (SCLs) for the treatment of corneal persistent epithelial defects (PEDs), and to compare the recurrence of epithelial breakdown with or without continuous use of ASEs after silicone-hydrogel SCLs removal.

Methods: We conducted a prospective interventional study of 21 eyes of 21 patients with PEDs treated with combined ASEs and silicone-hydrogel SCLs from September 2014 to August 2015. SCLs were removed after total re-epithelialization and patients were subsequently randomized divided into two groups: (1) with and (2) without continuous use of ASEs for an additional 2 weeks.

Autologous Serum Eye Drops Combined With Silicone Hydrogen Lenses for the Treatment of Postinfectious Corneal Persistent Epithelial Defects.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of combined topical autologous serum eye drops (ASEs) and silicone hydrogel contact lens (CLs) for the treatment of corneal persistent epithelial defects (PEDs) after infectious corneal ulcers.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of 12 patients with postinfectious corneal PEDs who were unsuccessfully treated with conventional medical management and were then treated with combined topical 20% (v/v) ASEs and silicone hydrogel CLs from July 1, 2011, to June 30, 2014. The corneal ulcers were all initially managed with antibiotic eye drops until the infiltrates resolved but the lesions failed to epithelialize.
