Blepharokeratoconjunctivitis Presumably Caused by , a Beetle: A Case Report.

Toxicity of species to eyes has scarcely been reported. This report presents a case of chemical blepharokeratoconjunctivitis with delayed re-epithelialization caused by in a patient with dry eye after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). A 47-year-old woman who had undergone LASIK for myopia 10 years prior experienced visual disturbance and pain in her left eye after being hit by a insect in her eye 1 day prior to evaluation.

Corneal Edema with Anterior Uveitis after Exposure to the Sap of : A Case Report.

Although a few cases of dermatitis or keratitis caused by exposure to the sap of have been reported, we present a rare case of transient corneal endothelial dysfunction following exposure to the sap, resulting in corneal edema. A woman in her 70s complained of reduced vision, redness, and teariness in her left eye 2 days after exposure to the sap of at home. Upon examination, hyperemia, serious corneal edema, and anterior uveitis with hypopyon were observed in her left eye, without corneal epithelial defects or keratic precipitates.

Clinical Courses Of Corneal Endothelial Dysfunction Due To Milky Latex-Induced Injury: A Case Series.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical courses of patients with corneal endothelial dysfunction due to milky latex-induced injury.

Patients And Methods: In this retrospective case series, we included consecutive patients who visited Miyata Eye Hospital or Kagoshima Miyata Eye Clinic between October 2010 and August 2017 and had corneal edema caused by milky latex-induced injury. Patient information and data on central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal endothelial cell density (ECD), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and treatment were retrospectively reviewed.

Twelve-month efficacy and safety of glaucoma filtration device for surgery in patients with normal-tension glaucoma.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of filtration surgery using the EX-PRESS glaucoma filtration device in patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).

Study Design: Prospective, single-arm, multicenter interventional case series.

Methods: Eyes with NTG underwent EX-PRESS implantation with or without cataract surgery.

Detection of increase in corneal irregularity due to pterygium using Fourier series harmonic analyses with multiple diameters.

Purpose: To determine steep increase of corneal irregularity induced by advancement of pterygium.

Methods: A total of 456 eyes from 456 consecutive patients with primary pterygia were examined for corneal topography and advancement of pterygium with respect to the corneal diameter. Corneal irregularity induced by the pterygium advancement was evaluated by Fourier harmonic analyses of the topographic data that were modified for a series of analysis diameters from 1 mm to 6 mm.

Proposal for a Novel Severity Grading System for Pterygia Based on Corneal Topographic Data.

Purpose: To propose a grading system of pterygium severity based on corneal higher-order irregularity (HOI) and to evaluate postoperative changes in corneal irregularity of the graded pterygia.

Methods: In 268 eyes of 226 patients undergoing excision surgery of primary nasal pterygium, Placido corneal topography images were taken before and until 6 months after surgery. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and pterygium size with respect to the corneal diameter were also measured.

Effects of Switching from Timolol to Brimonidine in Prostaglandin Analog and Timolol Combination Therapy.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of switching from timolol 0.5% to brimonidine 0.1% in patients with glaucoma treated with a prostaglandin analog (PGA) and timolol combination.

[Case report of melanoma-associated retinopathy associated with positive auto-antibodies against retinal bipolar cells].

Background: We report a case of melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR) associated with positive auto-antibodies against retinal bipolar cells, which has been rarely reported in Japan.

Case Report: A 33 year-old woman noticed shimmering vision, photopsias, blurred vision, and night blindness OS in April 2009, and visited Kagoshima Miyata Eye Clinic in May 2009. She had been continuously treated for malignant melanoma on her left finger since 2007.

Characteristics of Pseudomonas corneal infection related to orthokeratology.

Purpose: To describe a Pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal infection resulting from orthokeratology.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 17-year-old boy wearing orthokeratology (OK) lenses was referred to our clinic because of redness in his right eye in spite of his usage of ofloxacin (OFLX) eye drops.
