These various malignancies include conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), corneal epithelial dysplasia, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. OSSN diagnosis rests on exfoliative cytology, vital dyes, and imaging in the form of confocal microscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography. The medical management modalities are topical chemotherapy (Mitomycin C and 5 fluorouracil), immunotherapy (Interferon alpha 2b), and upcoming drugs, such as antivirals, anti-VEGF, and retinoic acid. Excision biopsy with no touch technique remains the gold standard for managing OSSN. However, surgery can lead to recurrence and unfavorable results in some cases.Areas Covered This article provides insights into the treatment aspects of OSSN with an overview of recent updates. The authors have discussed the current concept regarding the medical and surgical management of OSSN. The authors also dwell upon the recent updates along with the expert opinion.Expert Opinion- Although surgery remains the gold standard, topical drugs have revolutionized the management of OSSN. Patients should be closely followed up to look for any side effects. Cost, time duration, cosmesis, and side are the remaining major factors in deciding for medical versus surgical therapy.KEYWORDS: Ocular surface squamous neoplasiamitomycin C5-fluorouracilinterferon alpha 2bexcision biopsy Article highlights Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is a diverse ocular pathology that includes squamous neoplasm of conjunctival and corneal tissueThe important diagnostic modality includes exfoliative and impression cytology, vital dyes, high resolution anterior segment optical coherence tomography, and confocal microscopy.The medical management options of OSSN can be chemotherapeutic agents and immunotherapy.The gold standard for OSSN management is surgical excision biopsy by no touch technique and cryotherapy to the margins.The recent advances in OSSN management comprises human papilloma virus vaccine, light-activated belzupacap sarotalocan, verteporfin, cidofovir, bevacizumab, retinoic acid, and aloe vera.Declaration of interestsThe authors have no relevant affiliations or financial involvement with any organization or entity with a financial interest in or financial conflict with the subject matter or materials discussed in the manuscript.

Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) has the advantage of preserving the patient’s own endothelium and eliminating endothelial graft rejection. Since the recent trend is to perform corneal transplantation mainly for severe keratoconus that are not amenable to other less invasive approaches, this review aims to provide an update on the outcomes of DALK in eyes with the advanced stage of keratoconus.Areas covered A comprehensive literature review of studies in English was conducted using the following keywords: “deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty” or “anterior lamellar keratoplasty” or “DALK” and “keratoconus” and “severe” or “advanced.”Expert commentary DALK significantly improves vision and refraction in advanced keratoconus and provides favorable graft survival. Femtosecond laser seems to improve the technique of the DALK procedure, and future developments could improve the reproducibility of DALK even further. However, current data is inconclusive for the benefit of femtosecond laser-assisted DALK for advanced keratoconus.KEYWORDS: Keratoconusadvanced stagecorneal transplantationdeep anterior lamellar keratoplastyDALKDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

Article highlightsAs surgeons gain more experience and modify their techniques, DALK has emerged as an acceptable alternative to PK for advanced keratoconus when other less invasive approaches have failed to restore vision.Compared to PK, DALK has a superior safety profile as it eliminates the risk of endothelial graft rejection and preserves globe integrity against trauma.Despite improved safety, the visual and refractive outcomes after DALK can be inferior to those achieved after PK in advanced keratoconus eyes.Femtosecond laser has been used for the DALK procedure to increase the rate of successful big-bubble formation, decrease the rate of intraoperative Descemet membrane perforation, and provide better visual and refractive outcomes.Femtosecond laser-assisted DALK in the present form shows limited benefit, therefore, surgical design and parameters still need to be optimized.A medical economics study is required to assess the cost-effectiveness of laser-assisted DALK techniques in this particular subgroup of patients.AbbreviationsAS-OCT=Anterior segment optical coherence tomographyCDVA","PeriodicalId":39989,"journal":{"name":"Expert Review of Ophthalmology","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135352555","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}

Endophthalmitis is a sight-threatening complication subsequent to intraocular procedures, open-globe injuries, metastatic systemic infections, and systemic inflammatory diseases. The incidence of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis is 0.012% to 1.3%.Areas covered Patients’ ocular surface flora, surgical instruments, and surgical complications like posterior capsule rupture with vitreous loss and anterior vitrectomy. The most common bacteria causing post-cataract endophthalmitis in the Western world are gram-positive coagulase-negative Staphylococci, followed by Streptococci and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Povidone-iodine (PI) is the only topical prophylactic antiseptic known to reduce endophthalmitis perioperatively with a three to five times reduction rate within one minute of irrigation. The European Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) study recommendations are also discussed.Expert opinion There are no randomized controlled trials of PI with endophthalmitis rate as the primary end point. Based on retrospective data, 5% PI applied to conjunctiva prior to surgery reduced endophthalmitis rates four-fold. Intracameral injection of either vancomycin, cefazoline, cefuroxime, or moxifloxacin has a prophylactic effect. We recommend using preoperative 5% povidone-iodine for 30 seconds in the cul-de-sac and intracameral moxifloxacin or cefuroxime as effective prophylaxis against post-operative endophthalmitis.KEYWORDS: Endophthalmitisprophylaxisintracameral antibioticsintracameral moxifloxacinpovidone-iodineDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

Baseline IOP was 23.9 (±7.4) mmHg with a significant decrease on post-operative (post-op) day 1 to 4.6 mmHg. By post-op month 1, all eyes maintained a non-hypotonus IOP ≥ 5. Notably, four eyes (57%) had at least 1 unsuccessful open bleb needling without a collagen matrix implant prior. All eyes were complication-free by the latest visit without any complication-related visual decline, and six eyes (86%) were glaucoma medication-free at the most-recent post-op follow-up (12.4 ± 11.4 months).

It is possible that symptoms might be due to neuropathy and associated increases in corneal and/or lid wiper sensitivity that develops during SCL wear. For example, over time sensory thresholds for SCL awareness may be lowered and/or conditions that increase their perception sharpened. There are several mechanisms for contributions to thinner pre-lens tear films and reduced SCL biocompatibility. Dryness symptoms may occur with bandage SCL, perhaps especially in a previous wearer of SCL.KEYWORDS: Dry eyecontact lensOcular surfaceCorneaTearssymptomsDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).
