Recurrent post-operative endophthalmitis caused by Sphingomonas paucimobilis despite vitrectomy - a case and review of the literature.

Over the past 20 years, scattered reports have emerged about a low virulence, gram negative bacillus, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, causing unpredictable clinical presentations of endophthalmitis. Previous reports have characterised the organism as being resistant to aggressive treatment and prone to recurrence up to several months later, with few warning signs of any residual infection. We report a case of a 75 year-old male who returned 10 days after a left eye cataract surgery with an atypical, indolent endophthalmitis.

Dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease: An interdisciplinary decision framework for prescribers in the Australian setting.

Background/objectives: Dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease (DAOSD) is of particular relevance in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). Guidance on DAOSD assessment and management in the Australian setting is needed to reduce its impact and minimise disruption to treatment.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature was undertaken to identify data pertaining to the incidence, pathophysiology, risk factors and management of DAOSD.

A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of AcrySof IQ Vivity Intraocular Lens (IOL) from Private Health Fund Perspective in Australia.

Purpose: AcrySof IQ Vivity is a unique non-diffractive extended depth of focus intraocular lens with wavefront-shaping X-WAVE technology. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of AcrySof IQ Vivity intraocular lens (DFT015) compared with standard aspheric monofocal intraocular lens (SN60WF), from a private health fund perspective in Australia.

Methods: A Markov model was developed using the following health states: well, need for spectacles (near/distance/bifocal/varifocal), very bothersome visual disturbances (glare/haloes/starbursts) - with/without spectacles, and death.

Ocular ischaemia: signs, symptoms, and clinical considerations for primary eye care practitioners.

Ischaemic stroke is a major disease burden as well as a leading cause of death. Early signs of ischaemic stroke can manifest in the eye, placing primary eyecare practitioners in an important position to identify patients at risk of ischaemic stroke and initiate suitable referral pathways. The vascular supply to the brain is reviewed with reference to vision including the various retinal signs and ocular symptoms associated with transient ischaemic attacks and ischaemic stroke.

Outcomes of a Toric Monofocal Piggyback Intraocular Lens for Residual Astigmatic Refractive Error in Pseudophakic Eyes.

Purpose/aim: To evaluate the visual outcomes, refractive outcomes and rotational stability of a toric piggyback intraocular lens (1stQ AddOn, GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) for astigmatic refractive error in pseudophakic eyes.

Materials And Methods: Visual and refractive outcomes were assessed based on the standard graphs for reporting refractive surgery outcomes. Rotational stability was assessed according to the Intraocular Lens (IOL) standards of the International Organisation for Standards.

Patient Expectation, Satisfaction and Clinical Outcomes with a New Multifocal Intraocular Lens.

Purpose: To report patient expectations, visual performance and satisfaction with AcrySof IQ PanOptix multifocal intraocular lens in a heterogeneous patient group. Additionally, determine if identifiable pre-operative characteristics can predict post-operative satisfaction.

Methods: Data were prospectively collected for 67 consecutive patients (134 eyes) who underwent bilateral Panoptix implantation in a private ophthalmology clinic.

Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Standard Versus Accelerated Corneal Crosslinking for Keratoconus: 1-Year Outcomes From the Save Sight Keratoconus Registry Study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of standard [Ultraviolet (UV) light power: 3 mW/cm2, duration: 30 minutes] versus accelerated (UV power: 9 mW/cm2, duration: 10 minutes) corneal crosslinking (CXL) for stabilizing keratoconus.

Methods: A total of 684 eyes (555 patients; mean age ± SD, 25.0 ± 7.

Outcomes of toric supplementary intraocular lenses for residual astigmatic refractive error in pseudophakic eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate rotational stability and visual and refractive outcomes of supplementary toric IOLs (Sulcoflex Toric 653T, Rayner Intraocular Lenses Ltd) for residual astigmatic refractive error in pseudophakic eyes.

Methods: A retrospective interventional case series was conducted in a single surgeon practice. Charts of patients who had Sulcoflex Toric supplementary IOLs inserted between June 2009 and September 2015 were reviewed.

Calcification of hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses associated with intracameral air injection following DMEK.

Unlabelled: We present 2 cases of localized calcification on the anterior surface/subsurface of hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) following procedures involving intracameral injection of air. Although this phenomenon has been reported in hydrophilic acrylic IOLs, to our knowledge it has not been reported in the IOLs described in our cases, one a sulcus-fixated supplementary IOL and the other a hydrophilic acrylic IOL with a hydrophobic surface. Centralized opacity of the IOLs was first noted months after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty had been performed in both cases; explantation was required.

Comparison of the AcrySof SA60 spherical intraocular lens and the AcrySof Toric SN60T3 intraocular lens outcomes in patients with low amounts of corneal astigmatism.

Background: Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) have been reported to be an effective method of reducing postoperative refractive astigmatism and spectacle dependence following cataract surgery. This study compares a series of patients with low corneal astigmatism implanted with either the AcrySof SA60 spherical IOL or the AcrySof Toric SN60T3 IOL in a quantitative fashion to establish the merit of toric IOLs in these cases.

Methods: A retrospective chart audit was undertaken of 12 patients receiving the AcrySof Toric SN60T3 IOL (1.
