Purpose: To report a case of lacrimal drainage pathway disease-associated keratopathy (LDAK) with endophthalmitis.
Observations: An 80-year-old man with diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy was referred to our hospital with endophthalmitis of the left eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed slight eye discharge, peripheral corneal ulcers, diffuse hyperemia of the conjunctiva, iris synechia, and a large amount of fibrin in the anterior chamber of the left eye.

Aim: To investigate the causal effect of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on ocular inflammation using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
Methods: Genetic instruments associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and Crohn's disease (CD) were derived from the largest genome-wide association studies (GWAS) published to date. The FinnGen research project was utilized to identify genetic risk variants associated with conjunctivitis, keratitis, iridocyclitis, chorioretinitis, episcleritis, and optic neuritis.

Purpose: We describe the management of a case of severe corneal melting after corneal cross-linking (CXL) treated with a staged approach using a conjunctival flap followed by deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK).
Methods: A 12-year-old male developed severe corneal melting with pending perforation after an accelerated epithelium-off CXL protocol. We initially treated the patient with a conjunctival flap to prevent perforation.

Introduction: Ocular Rosacea is a poly etiological chronic inflammatory disease with heterogeneous clinical manifestations. It is primarily a dermatologic disease, which often manifests in the eyes affecting eyelids, conjunctiva, and cornea. The leading role in the pathological process belongs to the disruption of regulatory mechanisms in the vascular, immune, and nervous systems.
