We describe a newborn girl with multiple malformations associated with an interstitial deletion of chromosome 2q (q24q32). Clinical findings included growth retardation, microcephaly, facial malformations, common atrioventricular canal, digital anomalies of both hands and feet, and ovarian hypoplasia. Bilateral ocular anomalies included down-slanting palpebral fissures, blepharophimosis, microphthalmia, uveal coloboma, and corneal opacity. Chromosomal segment 2q31 may play a major role in the development of the eye and its adnexa.

A case of corneal opacity caused by atovaquone administration.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep
March 2025
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Nagasaki University Hospital, 1-7-1 Sakamoto, Nagasaki City, Nagasaki, 852-8501, Japan.
Purpose: Atovaquone is an alternative drug that is used for the prevention and treatment of pneumonia when the first-line drug, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (ST combination), cannot be used due to side effects. However, atovaquone is known to cause ocular side effects including oculomucocutaneous syndrome and vortex keratopathy. In this report, we describe a patient who developed bilateral white granular diffuse corneal opacity that extended from the corneal sub-epithelium to the stroma after continuous oral atovaquone administration for 14 months.

The mouse lens crystallin proteome is represented by αA-, αB-, βA1-, βA2-, βA3-, βA4-, βB1-, βB2-, βB3-, γA-, γB-, γC-, γD-, γE, γF-, γN-, and γS-crystallin proteins encoded by 16 genes. Their mutations are responsible for lens opacification and early onset cataract formation.

Department of Ophthalmology, Cochin Hospital, Université Paris-Cité, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, Paris, France; Inserm, Centre de Recherche des Cordeliers, Unit 1138 team 17, Paris, France.
Objective: To compare the corneal topographic parameters and ocular surface parameters of ocular rosacea (OR) patients across skin subtypes of the disease and healthy controls.
Methods: This prospective study included 180 eyes of 90 OR patients and 60 eyes of 30 healthy controls. Among the OR patients, 30 had phymatous (60 eyes), 30 had erythematotelangiectatic (60 eyes) and 30 had papulopustular skin types (60 eyes).
Establishing normal interocular symmetry range for macular optical coherence tomography parameters in healthy children.

Poostchi Ophthalmology Research Center, Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran.
Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the interocular symmetry of macular sublayer thickness among healthy children aged 6-12 years.
Methods: The Shiraz Pediatric Eye Study included 500 randomly selected children who underwent SD-OCT of the macula and optical biometry using the IOLMaster-500. Exclusion criteria involved ocular abnormalities or axial lengths outside the 21.

Objective: To report ocular examination findings before and after total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy (TECALBO) and ventral bulla osteotomy (VBO) in cats and dogs.
Methods: At The Ohio State University and MedVet Columbus, ophthalmic examinations were performed on client-owned animals for which a TECALBO or VBO was indicated. Examination findings and postoperative complications relating to ophthalmic and/or neuro-ophthalmic diseases were recorded prior to surgery (T0) and at 1 day (T1), 2 to 3 weeks (T14), and ± 2 months (T60) postoperatively.
