Unlabelled: We present the case of an 11-year-old boy who had bilateral implantation of intrastromal corneal ring segments for progressive keratoconus and poor vision. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were seen, and 1 year postoperatively, the patient maintained good spectacle-corrected vision.

Repair of Descemet's membrane detachment following inadvertent intrastromal viscoelastic injection for hypotony: anterior and posterior approaches.
BMJ Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK
Descemet's membrane (DM) detachment is a significant, if rare, risk of intracameral injection of viscoelastic to treat hypotony after glaucoma filtration surgery. We describe two cases of DM detachment following inadvertent injection of viscoelastic into the posterior stroma and the techniques used for their repair. In both cases, conventional air tamponade failed to resolve the detachment, and further surgical intervention was required.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: To evaluate the clinical outcome of laser-assisted surgical correction of high hyperopic or mixed astigmatism using small incision intrastromal lenticule rotation (SMILERO) alone or combined with photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
Methods: This retrospective case series enrolled 25 eyes with high astigmatism that underwent SMILERO surgery. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), manifest refraction, central corneal thickness, and corneal higher order aberrations were analyzed before surgery and after 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up.

Methods: This observational study included keratoconus patients who underwent CAIRS implantation into a stromal tunnel.
Reverse endothelial scraping technique (REST) for an infectious corneal endothelial plaque.
BMJ Case Rep

Department of Microbiology, Dr Shroff's Charity Eye Hospital Delhi, New Delhi, India.
A male patient in his 20s, suffering from a persistent, infection-related corneal endothelial plaque (EP) was urgently referred to our tertiary medical centre for therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (TPK). Over the preceding month, he had been undergoing treatment with both topical and oral antifungal medications due to clinical suspicion of fungal keratitis. At our centre, an endothelial scraping was performed using a reverse Sinskey hook to obtain samples for microbiology and revealed septate branching fungal hyphae.
