Blunt trauma to the eye can present with protean manifestations involving the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. Giant retinal tear (GRT) following trauma occurs most commonly at the equatorial region or anterior to the equator. GRT posterior to the equator is rare. Herein, we present a case of a 21-year-old male, who presented with sudden diminution of vision in the right eye following blunt-trauma with a cricket ball. Examination revealed a posterior-GRT, full-thickness macular hole, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and vitreous hemorrhage in the right eye. He was managed with vitrectomy, encircling scleral band, perfluorocarbon liquid-assisted flattening of GRT, internal limiting membrane peeling, and endotamponade. The probable etiopathogenesis of posterior-GRT and various surgical challenges encountered in this case were also described illustratively in this report.Retinal vasospasm was visualized in a young female; a known case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) retinopathy with unaffected vision. The fundus fluorescein angiogram showed a cyclical filling and emptying of the retinal vessels which was suggestive of vasospasm and a retinal Raynaud's-like phenomenon with no obvious perfusion deficit. There was retinal thinning involving the superficial layers that was seen on optical coherence tomography (OCT), capillary fill voids on OCT angiography, and retinal surface undulations seen on multicolor imaging. All imaging was performed on Spectralis (Heidelberg, Germany).Thromboembolic phenomenon related to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been well documented in literature; however, reported ocular manifestations of COVID-19 are limited to vision sparing ocular conditions like conjunctivitis. We report a case of a 17-year-old female who presented to us with central retinal vein occlusion with proven recent past COVID-19 infection as presumed etiology which was not known to her at the time of presentation.We present the case of a 32-year-old Indian male one-eyed individual with a history of unilateral panuveitis with HLA B 27 positive spondyloarthropathy on systemic immunosuppressant (Adalimumab). He developed recurrent inflammation in the same eye in a span of 2 years, later complicated with retinal vasculitis. On evaluation, he was diagnosed with tubercular uveitis and started on antitubercular treatment along with systemic steroids. Inview of Increased IOP due to steroid response, Inj. Secukinumab ( IL 17 A inhibitor) was started and significant improvement was noted.Sengers syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive mitochondrial disorder characterized by congenital cataract, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and mitochondrial myopathy. We report two siblings with known mutation for Sengers Syndrome (AGK gene mutation) who presented to us with cataract and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. They have a deceased elder sibling who was operated for cataract earlier.We report a case of a 40-year-old female with keratoconus and high myopia who had previous ICRS implantation in both eyes (OU) and was intolerant to contact lenses. Manifest refraction was -8.50 -1.50 × 95 (20/25--) in right eye (OD) and -9.50 -2.50 × 60 (20/70--) in left eye (OS). A topography-guided transepithelial-photorefractive keratectomy (ttPRK) was performed to correct high-order aberrations on OS, resulting in corneal surface and coma improvement, and CDVA achieved 20/30. Correction of residual ametropia was performed with an iris-fixated toric phakic lens in OU. CDVA improved to 20/20- (Plano) in OD and 20/20- (Plano -1.00 90°) in OS. In conclusion, it is possible to rehabilitate a patient with keratoconus and high ametropia after intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) implantation associating ttPRK and phakic lens ("Trioptics").Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with refractive capsulorhexis and toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was performed in 14 eyes with senile cataract and a preexisting regular corneal astigmatism of 1.5 D or more. Intraoperatively, the accuracy of the capsular rim marks was confirmed using the digital overlay of CALLISTO Eye and Z Align (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany). Postoperatively, the mean deviation from target axis of implantation was 2.07° ± 1.49°. Refractive capsulorhexis combines the advantages of a femtosecond laser capsulotomy with a one-step visual guide for intraoperative toric IOL alignment as well as postoperative assessment of rotational stability.The purpose of this study is to present the efficacy of combined goniotomy and intra-scleral ciliary sulcus suprachoroidal microtube insertion surgery in five patients with refractory and severe glaucoma. This Single-center, case series of five (5) Black and Afro-Latino patients with refractory and severe glaucoma who underwent combination microinvasive glaucoma surgery; 23-gauge goniotomy and intra-scleral ciliary sulcus suprachoroidal microtube insertion. Patients who underwent the above procedure with 6 months follow-up were included. Investigated parameters were intraocular pressure (IOP), number of medications, visual field findings, and visual acuity. Five patients with moderate to severe refractory glaucoma who had undergone 23-gauge cystotome goniotomy and ciliary sulcus suprachoroidal microtube had a reduction of IOP by 32% (mean pre-op and post-op 16.6 mmHg and 11 mmHg, respectively) and a reduction of ocular medications by 61.5% (mean pre-op and post-op of 5.2 and 2.4, respectively). All patients had either stabilization or improvement of their visual fields. Four of the five patients also showed an improvement in visual acuity. This novel approach of combined 23-gauge goniotomy and intra-scleral ciliary sulcus suprachoroidal microtube insertion surgery is safe and is an affordably effective means of managing patients with moderate to advanced refractory glaucoma, leading to a reduction in IOP and the number of medications with no serious adverse effects.A 5-year-old child having infantile esotropia with bilateral inferior oblique over action underwent uncomplicated strabismus surgery. On the first postoperative day, the child was orthophoric but on day 10, the child was brought with the complaints of severe pain and redness along the original insertion of left medial rectus muscle. Immediate medical management was initiated after appropriate microbiological sampling. Subsequently, on day 13, patient developed sudden discomfort after a bout of violent cough followed by severe pain and discomfort. Slit-lamp examination confirmed the scleral wound dehiscence with vitreous prolapse for which early scleral patch graft within 6 h was performed to achieve optimal visual and cosmetic outcomes.Microsporidial stromal keratitis is refractory to topical drugs and is classically described in immunocompetent hosts. A 55-year-old patient with renal transplant and oral immunosuppressants, presented with a 15-day history of redness, pain, and diminution of vision in the right eye. Honokiol mw Slit-lamp examination revealed epithelial defect and mid-stromal infiltrate. On corneal scraping, microsporidial spores were observed. The patient was started on topical 0.02% polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) and the infiltrate resolved after 6 weeks of initiation of topical therapy.
A 33-year-old lady with history of failed keratoplasty for decompensated cornea due to childhood trauma and secondary glaucoma, post glaucoma drainage implant, with pseudophakia in the right eye, developed bacterial keratitis following foreign body trauma to corneal graft. Corneal cultures yielded Burkholderia cenocepacia identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF- MS, bioMerieux, France). She healed with topical antibiotics (moxifloxacin 0.5%) in 1 month. Ours is the first report of ocular Burkholderia cenocepacia infection, possibly an under reported, aerobic, organism.

Bacteria cause the majority of contact lens-related infections. Although rare, fungal invasion of soft contact lenses is a potentially severe complication which may cause keratitis and more fulminating infections. Contact lens invasion can present as acute red eye warranting its replacement to prevent the development of keratitis. Different genera and species of fungi are documented to cause contact lens invasion. We report a rare case of fungal invasion of the contact lens by Aspergillus nidulans.A 3-year-old girl presenting with blue sclera, hyperlaxity and developmental dysplasia of hip was found to have bilateral corneal thinning with astigmatism and keratoconus. By clinical exome sequencing, a frameshift mutation c.713_716 del TTTG p.(Val238Alafs*35) in PRDM5 gene causing brittle cornea syndrome 2 and a novel frameshift mutation c.401dup p.(Ser135Glufs*53) in SLC6A5 gene causing Hyperekplexia 3 were identified. No features of hyperekplexia were identified in proband. The novel homozygous mutation of SLC6A5 gene in the proband was presently asymptomatic but they were apprised of the possibility of developing neurological symptoms in the later years.Changes in the limbal microvasculature following a chemical eye injury are essential for prognosis and management. At the slit lamp, it can be difficult to assess, here using fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography we show that anterior segment angiography may be informative to assess objectively the limbal microvascular changes over the follow-up period.A 73-year-old-gentleman was referred for ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) in his right eye (RE). He had history of combined cataract with trabeculectomy in RE and was maintaining his intraocular pressure (IOP). He showed a corneoscleral lesion measuring 11 × 8 mm in nasal quadrant wherein, the superior edge of the lesion was extending up to the filtering bleb. After ruling out intraocular invasion or regional spread, he underwent complete tumor excision with "no touch" technique along with cryotherapy and surface reconstruction and a perilesional injection of Interferon α2B. At 6-month visit, he shows no locoregional recurrence and has controlled IOP.Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma is a relatively recently-described neoplasm of the myofibroblasts having a predilection for the head and neck region. Ophthalmic involvement is extremely rare. Limbal involvement has not yet been documented in the literature. We describe one such case involving the limbus of a 48-year-old Asian male.Since the emergence of COVID pandemic, health workers have been facing major challenges every day. Ophthalmology practice has encountered countless modifications in the practice pattern not to jeopardize patient care and at the same time maintain all safety measures to reduce transmission. One such modification we made was the Safe Slit-Lamp Shield (SSS) which has been found to be extremely protective in differentiation to other available shield. Although SSS has a larger surface area when compared to already available shields, it won't compromise the comfort of the clinician at the same time gives satisfactory protection.
