We present 2 pseudophakic patients who had traumatic episodes that resulted in total expulsion of the iris without disturbing the intraocular lens (IOL). Because of intolerable glare, each patient was managed by reopening the fibrosed capsular bag and implanting 2 multi-finned prosthetic iris devices through a small incision, leaving the IOL in place. Following surgery, glare was no longer present and excellent visual acuity was maintained. We believe these are the first pseudophakic patients with traumatic total aniridia to be managed by this approach.

Carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is a rare condition involving an abnormal communication between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. We present a unique case of posttraumatic unilateral CCF initially misdiagnosed as a corneal melt with iris prolapse and orbital cellulitis. The patient, a 25-year-old male, experienced swelling, bleeding, and sudden vision loss in the affected eye following a fall.

Patients with ocular defects often require custom ocular prostheses, which can alleviate esthetic concerns and enhance their overall quality of life. Various techniques such as iris painting and digital imaging have been introduced for fabricating an ocular prosthesis, although these techniques pose several limitations. A cost-effective method of fabricating a custom ocular prosthesis, utilizing easily accessible household materials such as sewing thread and cellulose acetate sheets, is described.

Aim: The aim of this technique is to institute "Augmented Reality Tool" in the field of maxillofacial prosthesis for an accurate and precise iris positioning in a prosthetic eye.
Background: A congenital defect, irreversible damage, a painful blind eye, sympathetic ophthalmia, or the requirement for histological confirmation of a suspected illness can all result in the absence or loss of an eye. In such circumstances, meticulous preoperative, surgical, and prosthetic planning using a multidisciplinary approach is imperative for successful rehabilitation.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how expectations of pain versus no pain affect pupil size and pain perception using pupillometry and the visual analog scale (VAS).
- Conducted on 30 healthy participants, the experiment involved painful stimulation while inducing pain expectations through instructional videos and measuring cognitive and physiological responses.
- Results showed significant differences in pain scores and pupil diameter under pain expectation compared to no pain expectation, suggesting pupil size could be a useful tool in pain assessment alongside the VAS.
A 56-year-old woman presented with left blurring of vision for 6 months. She gave a history of previous left eye trauma for which she had undergone suturing of a corneal laceration. The right eye was 20/20 and normal.
