We report the case of a 33-year-old woman with history hypothyroidism and ocular mild myopia who presented spontaneous filtering bleb. Extensive systemic rheumatologic evaluation was unrevealing. The bleb observed for many months, until patient’s vision declined secondary to development hypotony maculopathy. closed using an allogenic scleral patch graft, resulting in normotensive intraocular pressure improved best-corrected visual acuity. A unilateral, is rare occurrence typically associated...
In the beginning of March, our New York–area residency program directors were bracing for spread a novel coronavirus that was easily transmissible and deadlier than flu. Concerning reports emerged suggesting ophthalmologists could be at higher risk infection because their proximity to patients during clinical encounters. midst nationwide shortage personal protective equipment, we wondered how both protect residents continue educational missions departments. We gathered through...
<h3>Aim:</h3> To report a dovetail configuration for femtosecond-enabled penetrating keratoplasty (PK) with the corresponding laser parameters and suturing technique. <h3>Methods:</h3> A 40-year-old man, history of corneal injury as child, underwent keratoplasty, anterior vitrectomy secondary intraocular lens to repair his scar aphakia. partial thickness pattern was performed in recipient cornea using femotsecond laser. The posterior side-cut initiated ∼100 μm Descemet membrane extended...
Objectives: The prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem (PROSE) device is used to treat difficult-to-manage disease (OSD) and ectasia. Previous studies have demonstrated positive treatment outcomes. This study aims document failures better tailor address limitations with its use. Methods: Retrospective chart review consecutive PROSE fits performed at Northwell Health from 2012 2016. Reasons for patient discontinuation were documented, potential risk factors failure assessed....
Background: Each year, approximately 40,000 patients with acute asthma are transported by the Fire Department of New York City (NYC) Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Out-of-hospital administration bronchodilator therapy has, however, been restricted scope practice to advanced life support (ALS) providers. Since rapid availability ALS units cannot always be assured, some individuals may receive only basic (BLS) measures in field. Objectives: To demonstrate that emergency medical technicians...
Postoperative hydrophilic intraocular lens opacification can lead to decreased vision and may require exchange. This study aims identify the incidence of scleral-fixated Akreos AO60's (Bausch + Lomb) risk factors for this phenomenon.This is a retrospective case series all patients who underwent AO60 at our institution between January 1, 2015 December 31, 2019. The following data were recorded: age, sex, medical history, indication implantation, laterality, ocular previous surgical...
As ophthalmic side effects of messenger RNA (mRNA)-based COVID-19 vaccination are not well understood, it is crucial to document and report such instances should they occur.In this observational case series, we nine patients (55.6% male, mean age 58.9) who received either the BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) or mRNA-1273 (Moderna) vaccinations from January June 2021, presented with symptoms keratitis within 14 days. All underwent slit-lamp examination histories were taken.Most subjects (66.7%) had...

Purpose Ophthalmology is frequently consulted to “rule-out papilledema.” We assessed the efficacy of a portable, non-mydriatic fundus camera in detecting optic disc edema inpatient and emergency room settings during papilledema” consultations, comparing gold standard dilated examination (DFE). Methods This prospective, blinded, cohort study included 124 photographs (62 patients) that were obtained over 11-month enrollment period. The images, along with brief clinical history, evaluated...
Although several donor, recipient, and graft characteristics have been studied in relation to corneal transplantation outcomes, no study our knowledge has assessed the impact of donor cooling times on postoperative outcomes longitudinally. With only one available for every 70 needed worldwide, this seeks identify any factors that could alleviate shortage.Patients undergoing at Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital over a 2-year period were retrospectively studied. Study metrics included age,...
Vasoproliferative tumors (VPT) are benign retinal lesions that may cause epiretinal membrane proliferation and tractional detachments (TRD). We describe a case of 71-year-old woman who presented with macula involving TRD in the setting VPT. Given limited number publications on management these cases, we aim to articulate some principles believe be helpful planning surgical approach maximizes postoperative anatomic functional outcomes. hope our video provides useful guidance preparing...
Abstract Objective A frequent reason for ophthalmology consultation is to rule out papilledema. The purpose of this study evaluate the incidence consultations screen papilledema in an acute inpatient setting and determine frequency factors associated with a positive diagnosis bilateral optic nerve swelling. Methods retrospective chart review was performed consecutive adult pediatric at tertiary hospital system “rule papilledema” from September through November 2016. All patients had detailed...
Abstract Purpose: To analyze the United States Food and Drug Administration’s Manufacturer User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database, which contains reports of adverse events involving medical devices, characterize most common femtosecond (FS) laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Methods: The MAUDE database was queried on May 19, 2022, for ophthalmic FS laser reported from January 2012 to April 2022. Reports unrelated LASIK procedures were excluded. Data extraction performed...
