One of the most important steps during Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) is attaching the donor Descemet lenticule to the host's cornea. This is usually carried out by injecting air into the anterior chamber with a syringe and needle. We present an alternative technique using an air fluid exchange system connected to an anterior chamber maintainer used in 22 cases in our institute. This technique has proven to be simple and fast, thus facilitating the successful performance of DSAEK surgery.

Treatment of pseudophakic aqueous misdirection syndrome.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse, 3010, Bern, Switzerland.
To describe the management and clinical course of 12 cases of pseudophakic aqueous misdirection syndrome (AMS). Twelve eyes of 12 Patients diagnosed with pseudophakic AMS between 2021 and 2022 were included. Best-corrected visual acuity, refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), anti-glaucomatous medication, spectral domain ocular coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and postoperative complications were evaluated.

Ocular Oncology and Radiology Department, S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution, Moscow, Russia.
Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the efficacy of plaque brachytherapy for the treatment of retinoblastoma.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 163 patients (186 eyes, 333 tumors) treated with brachytherapy (Ru or Sr plaques) for intraocular retinoblastoma between November 2007 and August 2023.
Results: Complete tumor control was achieved in 273 tumors (82%).
Repair of Descemet's membrane detachment following inadvertent intrastromal viscoelastic injection for hypotony: anterior and posterior approaches.
BMJ Case Rep

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.

J Ophthalmic Inflamm Infect

Ocular Inflammatory Disease Center, UCLA Jules Stein Eye Institute, Los Angeles, USA.
Purpose: To validate automated counts of presumed anterior chamber (AC) cells in eyes with histories of uveitis involving the anterior segment using swept-source (SS) anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) against manual counts and compare automated counts against Standardized Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) criteria.
Methods: Eyes were imaged with the ANTERION SS AS-OCT device (Heidelberg Engineering). A fully automated custom algorithm quantified the number of hyper-reflective foci (HRF) in line-scan images.
Background: Phosphorylated tau (p-tau) 181 was isolated in aqueous humor and was correlated with other measures that might be consistent with Alzheimer's disease (AD) including higher plasma p-tau181 concentrations and lower Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA blind version 7.1) scores.
Method: Blood samples, aqueous humor samples, and MoCA scores were collected from patients at the time of cataract surgery.
