Purpose: To analyze the national epidemiologic trends of squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva (SCCC) over 4 decades, providing the largest report on disease-specific survival (DSS) outcomes and investigating the risk of developing second primary neoplasms in these patients.
Methods: This retrospective, population-based cohort study analyzed 1,172 patients diagnosed with SCCC from January 1, 1975, through December 31, 2016. Data were extracted from the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of preoperative phenylephrine (PE)-induced Hering's response on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing unilateral Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR) for blepharoptosis correction.
Methods: Sixty-five consecutive patients (65 eyes) undergoing unilateral MMCR between January 2016 and December 2023 were included in this retrospective single-surgeon study. The main outcome measure was the margin-reflex distance 1 (MRD1) at postoperative month 1 visit.
Introduction: Feline respiratory tract infection poses a serious challenge in animal shelters. Potential risk factors include pathogens introduced through animals entering the shelter. We aimed to determine the proportion of animals shedding feline upper respiratory tract (URT) pathogens at the time of entry and to assess how this contributed to the burden of clinical disease and final outcomes.

Purpose: To evaluate tissue glue-assisted plaque placement regarding accuracy, stability, and longer-term outcomes for choroidal tumors with scleral thinning.
Methods: All patients with tissue glue-assisted plaque radiotherapy at a single ocular oncology center were evaluated for patient demographics, tumor features, surgical details, tumor response, and glue-related complications.
Results: There were 13 patients (mean age 72 years) treated with tissue glue-assisted plaque radiotherapy for choroidal melanoma (n=12) or choroidal metastasis (n=1).

External ocular infections are of serious global concern, which cause significant visual morbidity and even blindness, particularly in low-income and resource-limited countries. Herewith, we are reporting the profile of bacteria and fungi causing external ocular infections and the associated factors in Arba Minch, southern Ethiopia. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 259 suspected individuals with external ocular infections from 01 January to 10 June 2020 in Arba Minch General Hospital.
