Surgical Technique: The bubble mirror technique consists of the stabilization of the anterior chamber by means of a plug made with a combination of conveniently placed air and viscoelastic material. A line arises at interface between the air and viscoelastic where the anterior chamber angle reflected can be seen as in a mirror (bubble mirror).
Discussion: The viscoelastic-air plug offers three advantages in glaucoma surgery with the Ex-PRESS implant: 1) plug effect of viscoelastic, giving stability to the anterior chamber and preventing it from collapsing; 2) toning effect of the air bubble; and 3) specular effect at the interface, which allows the surgeon to visually control the chamber angle during the Ex-PRESS implantation.

A pharmacovigilance study on the safety of faricimab in real-world scenario using FDA adverse event reporting system database.
Expert Opin Drug Saf
January 2025
Department of Pharmacy, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: Faricimab is predominantlyprescribed for conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD),diabetic macular edema (DME), and macular edema related to retinal veinocclusion (RVO-ME). Currently, a notable absence of large-scale, real-worldstudies focusing on the adverse reactions of faricimab exists.
Methods: Thisstudy assesses the side effects of faricimab by analyzing reports of adverseevents (AEs) from the FDA's AEReporting System (FAERS) database.
Predictors of anterior chamber angle status at the time of neovascular glaucoma diagnosis.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, University of Chicago Medical Center, Chicago, IL, USA.
Purpose: To identify clinical features which may predict the angle status of a large cohort of NVG eyes at the time of diagnosis.
Observations: Chart review was performed for all NVG eyes from 2010 to 2022. Complete angle closure was defined as having >75 % PAS, partial angle closure as having 1-75 % PAS, and open angles as having 0 % PAS.

Purpose: To report a case of corneoscleral juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) with progressive anterior segment involvement refractory to topical steroids.
Observations: A 4-month-old male was referred for a new-onset subconjunctival lesion in the right eye. He was found to have a thickened, yellow corneoscleral lesion and hyphema, presumed to be ocular JXG.
Functional Deficits in Non-elite Soccer (Football) Players: A Strength, Balance, and Movement Quality Assessment After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Department of Physiotherapy, Institute of Physiotherapy and Health Sciences, The Jerzy Kukuczka Academy of Physical Education, Katowice, POL.
Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) is the gold standard for treating ACL injuries, particularly in soccer players who are at a high risk of knee injury. While professional athletes often return to sport (RTS) within 7-10 months after ACLR, non-elite players experience significant delays. There is a need to investigate neuromuscular deficits and functional asymmetries in the non-elite group, which may persist even after clearance for RTS.
