Rambutan is widely found in remote areas in Southeast Asia. It may lead to serious ocular trauma if it accidentally hits the eyes. This case report describes a patient who presented with deeply embedded cornea foreign body and fungal keratitis following direct ocular trauma by rambutan fruit. This report identified the features of this fruit that had the potential to cause serious ocular trauma. Ocular protection equipment is essential to prevent injury during harvesting the fruit.

Corneal injury is prevalent in ophthalmology, with mild cases impacting vision and severe cases potentially resulting in permanent blindness. In clinical practice, standard treatments for corneal injury involve transplantation surgery combined with pharmacological therapy. However, surgical sutures exhibit several limitations, which can be overcome using tissue adhesives.

The eye represents a highly specialized organ, with its main function being to convert light signals into electrical impulses. Any damage or disease of the eye induces a local inflammatory reaction that could be harmful for the specialized ocular cells. Therefore, the eye developed several immunoregulatory mechanisms which protect the ocular structures against deleterious immune reactions.

Purpose: To evaluate the severity distribution of chemical burn-induced Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) according to the novel global consensus classification and to compare the treatment approach, before and after the global consensus.
Methods: Medical records of 127 eyes of 109 patients with LSCD were included. LSCD stages were categorized according to the global consensus classification published by "International LSCD Working Group".
Long-term clinical outcomes of isolated orbital floor fracture reconstruction using nonresorbable implants.
Indian J Ophthalmol

Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Fayoum University, Al Fayoum, Egypt.
Purpose: There are no universally established guidelines for material selection in orbital wall fracture reconstruction. With an increasing preference for permanent implants, this study aimed to compare the long-term clinical outcomes of three different non-resorbable materials in reconstructing isolated orbital floor fractures.
Design: A retrospective, interventional comparative study.
