Objective: The purpose of this study is to suggest an alternative surgery to mutilating exenteration and enucleation surgeries in the management of nonfunctional, unattractive, and painless eyes. The suggested alternative is lamellar keratectomy with conjunctiva recovery.
Design: Retrospective study.
Participants: Four patient cases in a unit with the benefit of this technique.
Methods: The surgical processes and results of the four cases were reviewed.
Results: Postoperative results were most satisfactory with good esthetic results and, above all, a better psychological experience of surgery.
Conclusions: For a nonfunctional, unattractive, and painless eye, lamellar keratectomy with conjunctiva recovery appears to be an appealing alternative to nonconservative eyeball surgeries.

Dual-mode stormwater-greywater biofilters: The impact of alternating water sources on treatment performance.

The intermittent nature of stormwater runoff impacts the treatment performance of biofilters, also known as stormwater biofiltration or bioretention systems and raingardens. During extended dry periods, which are common even in temperate climates, plants can perish, creating unattractive and non-functional systems that might leach pollutants during the next rainfall event. The current solution is to irrigate during long dry spells, which is costly and unsustainable as biofilters become more widespread.
