The meibomian glands, present within the tarsus, produce an oily fluid which is part of the tear film. The obstruction of this gland is common, and results in a meibomian cyst or chalazion. Initially, a chalazion may spontaneously resolve, or respond to conservative measures such as warm compresses and topical antibiotics. However, sometimes the lesion becomes persistent and prominent, leading to visual and aesthetic problems, requiring a surgical solution. We report a 23-year-old man, with a right lower eyelid chalazion, persisting for more than 1 year, refractory to local measures that was submitted to surgical correction via the subconjunctival approach. This report emphasizes the advantages of this technique, namely the fast and simple procedure, with an excellent cosmetic result.

Colloidal drug aggregates (CDAs) are challenging in drug discovery due to their unpredictable formation and interference with screening assays. These limitations are turned into a strategic advantage by leveraging CDAs as a drug delivery platform. This study explores the deliberate formation and stabilization of CDAs for local ocular drug delivery, using a modified smallmolecule glaucoma drug.

Although silicone oil is used as an intraocular buffer in vitreoretinal surgical procedures, its use can cause complications, including glaucoma. This study highlights the importance of individualized approaches for the management of silicone oil-induced glaucoma. A 62-year-old man with a past medical history of retinal detachment and multiple ocular surgical procedurespresented with uncontrolled ocular pressure peaks after retinal detachment surgery using silicone oil as a buffer, which did not resolve after removal of the buffer.

Article Synopsis
- RNA nanoparticles show promise for ocular delivery, particularly for chronic eye diseases, using a periocular reservoir implant like an episcleral implant.
- The study aimed to create these implants, test their release performance with model substances and RNA nanoparticles, and apply hindered transport theory to analyze the release rates.
- Findings showed that the release rates depended on both the size of the substances and the implant membrane's characteristics, indicating a potential for extended delivery of RNA nanoparticles through this implantation method.

Primary simple conjunctival cysts are congenital, non-neoplastic, fluid-filled lesions lined by non-keratinizing squamous epithelium without dermal appendages. They are usually located in the anterior superonasal or superotemporal orbit and are typically managed with complete surgical excision. A 69-year-old woman presented with a 10-month history of diplopia and a 2-week history of right lower eyelid swelling.
