Retinoblastoma very rarely presents as total hyphema. Our patient presented at an early age of 7 months. Follow-up of 3 years shows that unilateral group E retinoblastoma was treated successfully with enucleation and adjuvant chemotherapy. The fellow eye remained normal during this period. The factors associated with delay in treatment are also described. Reports like the present case add to the information available about advanced staging of retinoblastoma at the time of presentation, seen in cases with spontaneous hyphema due to the tumor.

Purpose: To analyze the frequency, and clinical characteristics of ocular injuries in patients with prior blow-out fractures who experience new blunt trauma, and to assess whether old orbital fractures provide a protective effect against subsequent ocular trauma.
Methods: The medical records of 1,315 ocular trauma patients were reviewed. A total of 927 patients who had orbital or facial CT scans and ophthalmologist evaluations were considered.
Penetrating orbital trauma: Comprehensive review and meta-analysis of bullet injuries.

Department of Surgery, Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq.
Background: Orbital bullet injuries resulting from high-velocity trauma pose significant clinical challenges due to the potential for severe ocular and systemic complications. This meta-analysis consolidates the existing body of knowledge on direct orbital bullet injuries with respect to clinical outcomes, management strategies, and long-term effects.
Methods: The literature search was conducted by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, using databases such as PubMed and Scopus.
Retropupillary Iris Clip Intraocular Lenses: A Case Series of 57 Eyes.

Westmead and Central Clinical Schools, Specialty of Ophthalmology and Eye Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Purpose: To report visual and refractive outcomes and intraoperative and postoperative complications after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with retropupillary implantation of an iris clip intraocular lens (IOL).
Methods: This is a retrospective case series of patients who underwent secondary retropupillary intraocular lens insertion combined with pars plana vitrectomy to treat aphakia secondary to a dislocated nucleus lens (group A); or IOL dislocation (group B). Patient demographics, preoperative visual and refractive outcomes, intraoperative factors, postoperative visual and refractive outcomes, and complications within the follow-up period ranging from 6 months up to 3 years postoperative, were recorded.
Transconjunctival XEN® 45 Gel Stent Implantation: Efficacy and Safety of a New Surgical Technique.
J Curr Glaucoma Pract
October 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital of San Severino Marche, AV3- Asur Marche, Macerata, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of a new surgical method called transconjunctival XEN® 45 gel stent implantation in treating primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
- A total of 31 patients underwent the procedure, experiencing an average decrease in intraocular pressure from 25.3 mm Hg pre-surgery to 15.9 mm Hg post-surgery, with most not needing additional medications by the one-month follow-up.
- The results suggest that this surgical technique is both safe and effective, offering a timely alternative for patients with POAG needing surgical intervention earlier in their treatment process.

Purpose: Cataract surgery is a common operation, typically carried out on older adults who have many comorbid medical conditions. Many of these patients may be undergoing aspirin therapy for diverse cardiovascular causes. Nevertheless, there is ongoing controversy regarding the administration of aspirin therapy during the perioperative period, as there are concerns regarding the risk of bleeding problems compared to thromboembolic events.
