Purpose: We report a case of corneal keloid occurring 30 years after pterygium surgery and 3 years after cataract surgery.
Observations: The case of a 72-year-old man was referred because of blurred vision and corneal opacity in the right eye. Pterygium surgery had been performed on the right eye 30 years earlier, and bilateral cataract surgery had been done uneventfully via a temporal corneal incision 3 years ago. Deterioration of vision occurred in the right eye from 2 years ago. At the initial visit, his best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/2000 on the right. A white nodule that was well demarcated from the underlying stroma was seen on the right cornea. The nodule was excised by superficial keratectomy, with BCVA being 180/200 at 1 week after surgery. Pathological examination of the resected specimen revealed proliferation of fibroblasts and haphazard arrangement of collagen bundles, leading to a diagnosis of corneal keloid. Keloid-like lesion was also later noted in temporal corneal incision site of cataract surgery.
Conclusions And Importance: This rare case of corneal keloid occurred as a late complication of pterygium surgery.

We conducted clinical and histological evaluations on two male patients who presented with corneal keloid. One patient had a history of corneal trauma due to contact with boiling sunflower oil, while the other had undergone pterygium removal. Upon slit lamp examination, the corneal lesions were identified as single, well-circumscribed, pearly white nodules with a smooth surface.

- The study examined the decision-making abilities of six AI models regarding surgical recommendations for a hypothetical patient with myopia and a keloid history, comparing their advice to that of six experienced ophthalmologists.
- AI models initially suggested photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), while all ophthalmologists unanimously recommended laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
- Over half of the references provided by AI were fictitious, indicating a significant lack of reliability and critical thinking in the AI models' assessments of clinical risk factors related to refractive surgery.

Background: Warburg-Cinotti syndrome is a rare syndrome caused by de novo or inherited variants in discoding domain receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (DDR2). Only six cases have been reported worldwide and our knowledge of this disease remained sparse especially from an ophthalmological perspective, since previous literature mostly focused on systemic malformations or genetics.

An adult male in his 50s presented with complaints of glare and gradual, painless, progressive diminution of vision in the right eye (RE). Visual acuity in RE was noted to be 2/60, and slit lamp biomicroscopy revealed a pearly grey-white elevated corneal opacity measuring 4 mm × 3 mm, obscuring the visual axis. There was no history of ocular trauma or infection.
