Incidence and outcomes of endophthalmitis with in-house compounded intravitreal bevacizumab injections
This multicentre study examining a five-year period from 2014 to 2018 evaluated the incidence rate and outcomes of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection of in-house compounded bevacizumab. In-house compounded syringes were prepared in compounding pharmacy using sterile standard operating guidelines. All...
Surgery technique for subluxation in Marfan syndrome
The authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of bimanual capsulorrhexis combined with sutureless scleral-fixated IOL implant in children with Marfan syndrome. Seven children (14 eyes) with subluxated lenses underwent bilateral surgery; four female, three male with mean age of 7.1...
Chorioretinal atrophy in punctate inner choroidopathy / multifocal choroiditis
This study reported the five-year outcomes of chorioretinal atrophy (CRA) progression in patients with punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) or multifocal choroiditis (MFC) in 45 eyes of 36 patients. The mean age of the cohort of patients was 37 ±13.37 years...
Outcomes for IRS implantation for keratoconus
The authors report visual and topographic outcomes of intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation alone or in combination with corneal cross linking (CXL) and long-term results in halting keratoconus in paediatric patients. This study was a retrospective design including 19 patients...
Outcomes of combined medial and laser treatment for advanced Coat’s disease

Patients prefer vision from lasik than from smile in a contralateral-eye trial
This prospective, randomised, single surgeon, contralateral-eye clinical trial compared the results in myopic patients undergoing wavefront-guided femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in one eye and small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in the fellow eye. The patient-reported outcomes with laser in...
Environmental variations in endophthalmitis
In this retrospective cohort study, the authors looked at seasonal and environmental variations in 171 endophthalmitis cases out of 423,297 intravitreal injections. The incidence of this complication was not correlated to monthly snowfall, rainfall, or average temperature. There was no...
A novel presentation of optic disc oedema with syphilis
Optic disc oedema (ODE) due to syphilis without visual compromise has been primarily attributed to papilloedema from raised intracranial pressure or optic perineuritis from optic nerve sheath inflammation. These terms were proposed before magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was largely available....
