This study attempts to highlight the management of ocular trauma using currently available information in the literature and author experience. This review presents a workable framework from the first presentation, epidemiology, classification, investigations, management principles, complications, prognostic factors, final visual outcome and management debates. Review Findings: Mechanical ocular trauma is a leading cause of monocular blindness and possible handicap worldwide. Among several classification systems, the most widely accepted is Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology (BETT). Mechanical ocular trauma is a topic of unsolved controversy. Patching for corneal abrasion, paracentesis for hyphema, the timing of cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation are all issues in anterior segment injuries. Regarding posterior segment controversies, the timing of vitrectomy, use of prophylactic cryotherapy, the necessity of intravitreal antibiotics in the absence of infection, the use of vitrectomy vs vitreous tap in traumatic endophthalmitis is the issues. The pediatric age group needs to be approached by a different protocol due to the risk of amblyopia, intraocular inflammation, and significant vitreoretinal adhesions. The various prognostic factors have a role in the final visual outcome. B scan is used to exclude R.D, Intraocular foreign body (IOFB), and vitreous haemorrhage in hazy media. Individual surgical strategies are used for every patient according to the classification and extent of the injuries.

Material and Methods: Two groups of patients—with corneal ectasia and normal controls were compared. Each group consists of 80 eyes of 43 age and sex-matched patients. All of them underwent corneal topography with OCULUS Keratograph 5M and corneal pachymetry with AS-OCT with RTVue-100. The indices generated by the AS-OCT pachymetric scans were analyzed. Results: There was a statistically significant difference for all the examined indices between the two groups with p values <0.001 and a confidence interval of 95%. The minimal corneal thickness (Min) was the best performing index according to the ROC analysis with an area under the curve of 0.976 and a combination of sensitivity and specificity of 0.925 and 0.911 respectively, and a “cut-off” value of 484 microns, followed by the indices of focal thinning—Min-Med and Min-Max with an area under the curve of 0.973 and 0.971 and sensitivity/specificity of 0.938/0.962 and 0.938/0.937 respectively. The rest of the examined parameters had an area under the curve in the range between 0.950 for the central corneal thickness and 0.814 for the outer superior segment.

We report the cases of two (02) patients received in consultation at IOTA-Teaching Hospital between July 2019 and February 2020. Case Presentation: We report two cases of Idiopathic stress central serous chorioretinopathy. The first case is a 37-year-old man that we received in consultation for visual acuity decrease from a sudden installation for 1 hour. The clinical and paraclinical arguments permitted us to retain the diagnosis of Idiopathic stress central serous chorioretinopathy. The patient benefited from laser treatment and the clinical evolution was good. The second case is a 42-year-old man, who consulted for a sudden reduction of visual acuity that had been evolving for 3 weeks. The clinical and paraclinical contexts were in favour of the diagnosis of Idiopathic stress central serous chorioretinopathy. The patient was treated with spironolactone.

The patient is a 16-year-old Bahraini teenager who was a cosmetic contact lens wearer. She presented with clinical signs and symptoms of microbial keratitis, which was initially misdiagnosed elsewhere as a case of herpetic corneal infection. Her corneal biopsy confirmed the clinical diagnosis as acanthamoeba keratitis. The patient was started on anti amoebic treatment. The infection got eradicated. The cornea healed with a central scar. Eventually, she underwent penetrating keratoplasty. This case report serves to raise awareness of this rare condition.

The objectives of this \u0000systematic review were to determine the prevalence of DED, to identify the main \u0000risk factors for DED, and to determine the diagnostic and therapeutic management \u0000of DED in Subsaharan Francophone African countries. Methodology: This is a systematic review of articles, dealing \u0000with DED, published in English or French language from 2010 to 2020.

The prevalence of DED in sub-Saharan \u0000francophone Africa in the articles ranged from 7.5% to 90.4%. DED affects more \u0000women than men.

The nutritional supplement \u0000Alzer (whose primary active ingredient is Ginkgo \u0000biloba, a powerful antioxidant that acts on vascular factors and oxidative damage, \u0000which are two of the mechanisms implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic macular \u0000edema), which has been used on other non-diabetic macular conditions, along with \u0000the Diamel nutritional supplement has been shown to be effective on glycemic control \u0000and could represent a treatment alternative for mild to moderate macular edema by \u0000reducing the thickness of the macular retina and preventing the progression of other \u0000more advanced clinical presentations that are harder to treat.
