The purpose of this study is to present a case of bilateral corneal keloids after performing eyelid compression for half a year. This study was a retrospective case report. Visual acuity, as well as detailed high-resolution images of external eye photography, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT), and topography were documented. Initially, the best-corrected visual acuities were 20/20 (OD) and 20/32 (OS). ASOCT revealed a characteristic irregular hyperplastic epithelium, a disrupted Bowman's layer, and an edematous stroma for both eyes. Topography exposed an irregular astigmatism of 2.1 diopters for the left eye, while the right eye had a relatively smooth surface. After 1 year of conservative treatment, the best-corrected visual acuity improved to 20/20 (OU), and astigmatism also decreased. Corneal keloid may be induced after long-term eyelid compression. ASOCT and topography are useful for detecting and monitoring disease progression. Conservative treatments are suggested as the first line of therapy, while the size, depth, and location of the lesions are tolerable.

An 84-year-old male with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP), despite maximum topical medications including prostaglandin F2α analog, had bilateral prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy-related tight upper eyelids. One day after trabeculectomy of the left eyelid, IOP was 24 mm Hg, with a flat bleb. Daily ocular massage failed to maintain bleb filtration.

The authors report a rare case of a 58-year-old female with mild right-sided hemifacial spasms and eyelid myokymia and a concomitant high-grade glial mass. This report outlines the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and management of right hemifacial spasms and eyelid myokymia. The patient had a 5-month history of gradually worsening right hemifacial spams accompanied by mild right lower eyelid twitching.

The case report describes a rare instance of a man in his 70s with periorbital necrotising fasciitis (NF) who underwent bilateral autologous penetrating keratoplasty. NF is an acute infection that can lead to severe complications, including vision loss. The patient presented with severe facial swelling and necrosis of the right eyelid, treated with surgical debridement and antibiotics.

Orbital abscesses secondary to odontogenic infections are rare but can lead to serious complications, including compressive optic neuropathy and permanent vision loss, if not diagnosed and treated promptly. We present the case of a 13-year-old child with a radiologically confirmed orbital abscess associated with a recent odontogenic infection. The patient initially presented with a one-week history of right eyelid swelling and fever.

BACKGROUND Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a recombinant DNA-derived humanized monoclonal antibody that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved in 1998 for metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer therapy. It selectively binds to the extracellular domain of HER2 and mediates an antibody-dependent cellular toxicity in various tissues. Trastuzumab use alone does not typically cause aggressive ocular complications.
