Patient and clinical findings: A 25-year-old woman presented 30 months after myopic LASIK with a painless loss of vision in the right eye. Visual acuity was 20/32, and a focal stromal opacity was observed. Diagnosis, intervention, and outcomes: The patient underwent flap lift, scraping, and application of povidone–iodine 5% to the flap interface. Samples were sent to the microbiology department for microscopic, culture, and sensitivity, and the patient was commenced with topical fluconazole, levofloxacin, and fusidic acid. Giemsa staining demonstrated 2 Acanthamoeba cysts. Microscopic examination revealed gram-positive cocci and pyogenic cells. Culture on a nonnutrient agar with a lawn of Escherichia coli identified the gram-positive organism Staphylococcus aureus. The clinical situation improved, and topical steroids were added. Mild epithelial ingrowth was noted at 4 months after flap lift; however, the growth remained stable and was under observation. The final visual outcome was good (visual acuity 20/25). Conclusions: This case emphasized the importance of precise microbiological diagnosis and consideration of early flap lift in post-LASIK infectious keratitis.","PeriodicalId":14598,"journal":{"name":"JCRS Online Case Reports","volume":"10 1","pages":"e00066"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41709999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A rare complication of keratorefractive surgery where interruption of femtosecond-laser delivery was noted secondary to face-mask related fogging of the patient interface is reported. Patient and clinical findings: Young patients with stable tear film and healthy ocular surface were advised femtosecond laser assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (3 eyes) and small-incision lenticule extraction (1 eye) for refractive errors. Intraoperative interruption of laser delivery was noted secondary to droplet condensation or fogging of the patient interface. The fogging developed secondary to the escape of humid exhaled breath. Diagnosis, intervention, and outcomes: Incomplete delivery of the laser required aborting the procedure with retreatment at a later date. In eyes where partial laser delivery was obtained, the flap was manually dissected from the underlying stroma and the procedure was completed in the same sitting. All eyes achieved a final uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20 with no long-term sequelae. Conclusions: Fogging of the patient interface is a rare complication secondary to face mask use. Sealing the top of the face mask with well-adhering micropore, readjustment of face masks, removing the mask prior to draping, and checking for droplet condensates on the interface prior to laser delivery may minimize the incidence.","PeriodicalId":14598,"journal":{"name":"JCRS Online Case Reports","volume":"10 1","pages":"e00065"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47205138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

UGH syndrome is typically associated with first-generation lenses, placement of an IOL in the ciliary sulcus, or bag-sulcus tilted positioning. UGH syndrome following placement of a modern 1-piece lens in the capsular bag is rare. Patient and clinical findings: A 55-year-old man presented with UGH syndrome 2 weeks after routine cataract surgery with in-the-bag placement of a contemporary IOL. Diagnosis, intervention, and outcomes: Correct positioning of the IOL was confirmed with ultrasound biomicroscopy and exploratory surgery, and IOL exchange achieved resolution of UGH sequelae.

Diagnosis, intervention, and outcomes: Ultrasound B-scan and orbital computed tomography were performed, which suggested the presence of a metallic foreign body in the crystalline lens. The surgical management of the case, where, given the integrity of the posterior capsule and verified intraoperatively, a triple procedure was performed, with foreign body extraction, phacoemulsification, and IOL implantation, resulting in a good visual outcome. Conclusions: Metallic intralenticular foreign bodies represent a rare finding that sometimes goes unnoticed in the clinical examination, but which can lead to serious sight-threatening complications and should therefore not be underestimated. When a foreign body sensation is referred, an accurate examination of the anterior segment is necessary. The surgery required in case of complications can be challenging and demands attentive preoperative evaluation and readiness to adapt to conditions found intraoperatively.","PeriodicalId":14598,"journal":{"name":"JCRS Online Case Reports","volume":"10 1","pages":"e00063"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42253509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case describes the timing of suture removal and stabilization of refraction in a case of corneal wound burn associated with phacoemulsification. A 70-year-old woman presented with diminution of visio in both eyes for 1 year. O/E lens opacification classification system grade NC4C3P2 cataract was present in both eyes with normal fundus. Primary diagnosis was cataract in both eyes. The left eye was planned for microincision cataract surgery by a trainee under local anesthesia. Corneal wound burn and iris chaffing were noted at the end of surgery, and 3 sutures were placed at the main port. At 15 days and 1 month postoperatively, the uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 20/80 with high regular astigmatism showing over cylinder on autorefractometer. Sequential suture removal was done 1 month postoperatively with an interval of 15 minutes between each suture and corneal topography performed after each suture removal. Topography exhibited reduction in astigmatism from 10.6 to 1.2 diopters after suture removal. The UDVA and corrected distance visual acuity after 1-hour postsuture removal was 20/32 and 20/20, respectively, with a refraction of −0.50 diopter sphere/−0.50 diopter cylinder @ 95 degrees, which was stable even at 1-month and 6-month follow-up. We conclude that suture removal can be planned as early as 4 weeks with refraction and keratometric readings being stable even after 6 months.","PeriodicalId":14598,"journal":{"name":"JCRS Online Case Reports","volume":"9 1","pages":"e00060"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42768128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
