: Clinically inactive corneal scars have repeatedly been shown to exhibit histological inflammation. This study aimed to evaluate the degree of histological inflammation in clinically inactive corneal scars of different origins and its correlation with graft rejection and failure following penetrating keratoplasty. : The study included 205 primary corneal explants with clinically inactive central scars resulting from herpes simplex virus keratitis (HSV, = 55), keratoconus ( = 39), mechanical trauma ( = 27), scrophulosa ( = 22) or other/unknown causes ( = 62).

Penetrating orbit injury is a rare but complex and life-threatening occurrence that may easily be overlooked. Management in the emergency department requires an early multidisciplinary approach but still lacks standard guidelines. This narrative review aims to provide a systematic approach to the management of penetrating orbital injuries for emergency clinicians.

Fungal keratitis is a severe ocular infection caused by pathogenic fungi, leading to potential vision loss if untreated. Current antifungal treatments face limitations such as low solubility, poor corneal penetration, and limited therapeutic options. This study aimed to develop a thermosensitive in situ gel incorporating ketoconazole nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance drug solubility, stability, and antifungal activity.

This report describes the longest case of a retained metallic intraorbital foreign body with no complications and development of delayed sensory exotropia following traumatic sclopetaria in childhood. A 9-year-old girl suffered a BB gun injury to the left eye, leading to chorioretinitis sclopetaria and loss of vision. The visual acuity was 20/800 with a relative afferent pupillary defect and choroidal rupture with subretinal hemorrhage that evolved to sclopetaria over time.

Dexamethasone (Dex) is a primary medication for treating dry eye syndrome, and tobramycin-dexamethasone eye drops are commercially available. However, the eye's complex physiological environment reduces its bioavailability, and repeated use can lead to significant systemic toxicity and side effects. This study introduces a novel conjugate of chitosan (CS) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a bioadhesive material, which was grafted onto the surface of a Dex-supported nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) to develop an innovative nanoparticle lipid ocular drug delivery system (CS-NAC@Dex-NLC).
