The aim of this study was to prospectively compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) vs micropulse (MLT) in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) open-angle glaucoma patients.In all, 38 patients were randomized 360° MLT 31 SLT. IOP measured at intervals 1 hour 1, 1-6, 6-12, 6-24, 24-36, 36-52 weeks. Patients completed a survey week after procedure. with end-stage, neovascular, uveitic, or angle-closure excluded. Treatment response defined as an...
Little is known about the potential ocular adverse events following mRNA-1273 vaccine. We aimed to report a case of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) developing 3 days administration vaccine booster. A 71-year-old myopic female presented with complaints seeing "pulsating light" and scotoma her left eye that started booster administration. The patient was found have scattered white-yellow outer retinal lesions on dilated fundus exam eye. Visual symptoms findings continued improve...

Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) has been shown to influence tissue wound healing but little is known about the impact of CAP on healthy corneal tissues and their ability respond injuries. The objective this study examine effect after epithelial basement membrane ablation in New Zealand white rabbits. rabbits were assigned into three groups. Ten Rabbits from two groups underwent a 6 mm right eyes. After ablation, five group (A) received 2 minutes whereas other (B) not treated with CAP. A third...
A trematode identified as a Philophthalmus sp was extracted from the bulbar conjunctiva of patient in southern Texas with short-distance travel to Mexico. This parasite is very rarely reported humans, and species identification challenging. Aspects diagnosis, zoonotic transmission, unresolved questions about spp are discussed.
It is well established and documented that fluoroquinolone use associated with the development of tendinopathy. However, little known about possible effects this class antibiotics on orbit. We present a case lateral canthal tendon rupture presented an acute right lower eyelid ectropion in young, renal compromised patient setting recent for pneumonia. Eye care clinicians need to be aware fluoroquinolones eyelids.
Although Heidelberg retinal tomography (HRT)-generated topographic images have been studied extensively for the detection of nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defects, little is known about role HRT-generated surface reflectivity in RNFL defects either patients with glaucoma or suspects.To evaluate effectiveness HRT version II (HRT II) optic uncovering an outpatient population evaluated glaucoma.In 102 consecutive eyes from 60 academic-based practice, were prospectively imaged and compared clinical...
Purpose: To report a case of macular fold formation following surgical repair rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in 57-year-old man treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), subretinal fluid endodrainage, gas-fluid exchange and sulfur hexafluoride tamponade, postoperative face-down positioning. We also discuss etiology prevention surgery review the literature regarding current trends management this complication. Methods: Case review. Results: The has resolved spontaneously eventual...
