Fifteen patients were excluded due to loss to follow-up (eight patients) and Atropine complications (seven patients) and 36 patients continued therapy. Myopic progression, axial length, far and near BCVA, pupil diameter, and accommodation amplitude were measured at baseline examination and repeated every 6 months up to 2 years. All patients were recommended to instill one drop of Atropine 0.01% in each eye every night. Absolute success of therapy was defined as myopic progression ≤0.50 diopter (D) and axial length growth ≤0.2 mm per year.Results: Mean myopic progression was 0.16 and 1.28 D and mean axial length change was 0.05 and 0.69 mm at months 12 and 24, respectively. Pupil dilation was 1.26 and 1.84 mm and accommodation reduction was 3.38 and 3.37 D at the same follow-ups, while BCVA was not changed.

In addition, the success rate in respect to axial length changes was 44.4% and 58.3% at the same time points.Conclusions: Atropine 0.01% can slow myopic progression and axial length elongation at least in 50% of myopic cases at 12- and 24-month follow-up with no significant complications.

The patient's complaints, including ocular redness, sensitivity to light and blurred vision, started 1 week after the second dose of CoronaVac® vaccine and continued to increase for 2 months. Ophthalmological examination revealed mild ocular redness, epithelial defects in the central cornea, and decreased corneal sensitivity in both eyes. No pathology that could cause NK was detected in the patient's anamnesis and tests. Treatment including bandage contact lens application, autologous serum eye drops, preservative-free artificial tears, and oral doxycycline resulted in closure of the epithelial defect on the 10th day, and on the 2-month follow-up visit, it was observed that corneal sensitivity had increased.Conclusions: In the presented case, it is thought that bilateral NK may be associated with the vaccine due to the chronological relationship between the vaccine administration and the lack of any other explanatory etiology. A cure was achieved in a short time with appropriate treatment, and the increase in corneal sensitivity over time indicates that the corneal neuropathy was reversible. Nowadays, with the worldwide administration of COVID-19 vaccines, ophthalmologists should keep in mind that, although rare, NK manifestation may still be encountered after vaccination.","PeriodicalId":15423,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Current Ophthalmology","volume":"36 1","pages":"99-102"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11567604/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142647947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patient urgently sought consultation due to vision loss while under daily fluorometholone use. Clinical examination revealed acute graft rejection characterized by corneal edema, anterior chamber reaction, and the presence of keratic precipitates forming a Khodadoust line. The management approach included the initiation of a tapered dexamethasone regimen.Results: The identified acute graft rejection, marked by the presence of a Khodadoust line, demonstrated favorable responsiveness to the initiated tapered dexamethasone regimen. Corneal OCT and imaging played crucial roles in providing detailed insights into the manifestation.Conclusions: While the endothelial rejection line (Khodadoust line) is a rare occurrence following DSAEK, this case underscores its potential association with graft rejection.

Based on the CT scan findings, we measured the FA, HV, OVR, and fracture site. We assessed enophthalmos using both clinical (CE) and radiographic (RE) measurements. Additionally, we investigated the correlation between CE and the measured parameters, along with the relationship between the pattern of diplopia and the fracture site.Results: We identified enophthalmos in 81% and diplopia in 78% of the patients with an acute blowout orbital floor fracture. CE was moderately correlated with the FA (R 2 = 0.4341, P < 0.001). CE was weakly correlated with the HV (R 2 = 0.2861, P = 0.04). Anterior fractures caused diplopia in both vertical gazes, but posterior fractures were mostly associated with diplopia in the up gaze. OVR was strongly associated with RE (R 2 = 0.663, P < 0.0001) and moderately associated with CE (R 2 = 0.4378, P < 0.0001). The univariate regression analysis also showed that OVR could significantly predict CE and RE.Conclusions: OVR surpasses other CT scan measurements such as FA and HV in the prediction of clinical enophthalmos. Thus, OVR could be utilized to estimate clinical enophthalmos at the time of presentation, especially when the acute clinical setting prohibits the proper clinical evaluation.","PeriodicalId":15423,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Current Ophthalmology","volume":"36 1","pages":"89-95"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11567609/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142647953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although LACC is a rare tumor, early detection and appropriate treatment are crucial due to its aggressive nature which includes high recurrence rate and a significant risk of mortality.

PERAMIS aberrometry (PERAMIS; SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions, Kleinostheim, Germany), DR, and CR, as well as SR, were completed for all candidates.
