Purpose: Primary corneoscleral cyst is a rare disease occurring in the pediatric age group. We report a case of corneoscleral cyst with visual diminution.
Methods: We conducted a case report.
Results: A 7-year-old girl presented with corneal opacity in the left eye. Examination revealed a corneoscleral cyst. The corneal part of the cyst involved visual axis. Surgical excision with a scleral graft was performed, leading to an improvement in visual acuity. No recurrences were observed until the last follow-up at 18 months.
Conclusions: Corneoscleral cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic ocular surface disorders in the pediatric age group.

A patient presented with corneoscleral thinning five months after the treatment of suspected ocular squamous surface neoplasia with mitomycin-C and interferon. For tectonic and aesthetic purposes, we decided to perform lamellar corneoscleral transplantation. The approach used established new tectonic support and corneal homeostasis.

Article Synopsis
- A 72-year-old male farmer developed severe microbial keratitis, leading to significant corneal melting and a descemetocele, with the cornea almost entirely destroyed and the intraocular lens visible through the pupil.
- After being hospitalized and treated with antibiotics to manage inflammation, the patient underwent corneoscleral transplantation and repair of the corneal limbus, which included suturing the graft and forming the anterior chamber.
- Post-surgery, there was no recurrence of infection, the corneal epithelium healed well, and although the patient’s visual acuity was limited to light perception, he was satisfied with the preservation of his eye and opted not to seek further treatment.

Operation Eyesight Universal Institute for Eye Cancer, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, 500034, India.
Purpose: To describe the risk factors, clinical features and management outcomes of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) with 360° of limbal involvement (360-OSSN) and compare with segmental limbal involvement (SL-OSSN).
Methods: Retrospective comparative study of 360-OSSN vs SL-OSSN. All 360-OSSN and every 10th patient with SL-OSSN during the study period (2012-2020) were included.
