Department of Ophthalmology, Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL; and.
Purpose: To report the indications, postoperative visual outcomes, and long-term graft survival of primary pediatric keratoplasties performed at a single tertiary care center.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of pediatric patients (16 years and younger) who underwent surgical intervention for corneal opacity at a tertiary care center to evaluate long-term graft survival and visual rehabilitation.
Results: Seventy-three eyes of 46 patients met inclusion criteria.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), Rua Botucatu, 822, Vila Clementino, São Paulo/SP, 04023-062, Brazil.
Background: Ozurdex® (Allergan®, AbbVie Company, North Chicago, Illinois, EUA), is composed of 0.7 mg of dexamethasone, fused in a solid biodegradable PLGA polymer, whose degradation occurs naturally in the vitreous cavity, usually in six months after its application.
Methods: In this study, we included patients aged ≥ 18 years with one or two eyes who had an indication for Ozurdex implants.

Department of Ophthalmology, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, New York.
Purpose: To report the experience with an alternative to the upper eyelid pentagonal wedge resection technique which results in improved cosmesis due to a greater alignment of incisions with relaxed skin tension lines.
Methods: A retrospective review of all patients who underwent the T-shaped wedge resection by the authors from 2009 to 2017. A horizontal eyelid crease incision is made across the upper eyelid skin.

Govindram Seksaria Institute of Dacryology, L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, India.
Purpose: To report an exceptionally rare instance of Endoscopic endonasal dacryocystectomy.
Observations: Dacryocystectomy (DCT), a procedure of surgical extirpation of the lacrimal sac is normally approached by an external route. However, an endoscopic endonasal approach DCT is rare and usually reserved in cases where intellectual disabilities of a patient become a restrictive factor in maintenance of a healthy external wound.

Genetic medicines, including CRISPR/Cas technologies, extend tremendous promise for addressing unmet medical need in inherited retinal disorders and other indications; however, there remain challenges for the development of therapeutics. Herein, we evaluate genome editing by engineered Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (eRNP) in vivo via subretinal administration using mouse and pig animal models. Subretinal administration of adenine base editor and double strand break-inducing Cas9 nuclease eRNPs mediate genome editing in both species.
