This is the first reported case of ocular trauma caused by a plastic bottle cap occurring accidentally without misuse. The mechanism involved an un-emptied plastic bottle containing orange juice being thrown away with other rubbish. The combination of this minor impact and the pressure built up within the bottle through fermentation caused expulsion of the cap at high velocity. This cap caused severe ocular trauma requiring urgent ophthalmic assessment and intervention. Our simple recommendation is that plastic bottles have their caps removed and are emptied before being thrown away.

Endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) offers a viable alternative for managing advanced primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in patients at risk of ocular hypotony. We describe a case of a successful outcome with ECP in a patient who developed ocular hypotony secondary to Preserflo surgery. A 93-year-old South Asian male experienced significant visual field deterioration and ocular hypotony following Preserflo surgery on the left eye, complicated by a severe cough from COVID-19.

Marfan syndrome (MFS), an inherited connective tissue disorder, is caused by a mutation in the FBN1 gene. MFS is characterized by complex manifestations involving musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and ocular systems. The usual presentation for suspecting diagnosis in an individual with aortic root disease is tall stature in addition to other features that fulfill Ghent criteria.

Jeune syndrome (JS), first described by Jeune as asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy, is an autosomal recessive osteochondrodysplasia with characteristic skeletal abnormalities and variable renal, hepatic, pancreatic, and ocular complications. Approximately 1 in every 100,000 to 130,000 babies is born with JS. Most patients with JS have respiratory distress due to inadequate lung development and many lose their lives due to respiratory failure.
