Purpose: Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is an extremely rare, aggressive, multi-system disease that can affect the eye. We describe the ophthalmic presentation, multimodal imaging and treatment response of uveal IVLBCL. Methods: Review and case report. Results: Twenty-five published cases of IVLBCL involving the eye including our own...

AT A GLANCE Postoperative retinal displacement is a common and unwanted outcome following RRD repair. The authors’ study found that assessment of retinal displacement using a novel homography-based overlay method was superior to fundus autofluorescence imaging. Treatment modifications and varied surgical techniques can influence and reduce postoper...

Fundus autofluorescence underestimates the risk and extent of retinal displacement as demonstrated with homography of infrared images. Retinal displacement is likely present in almost all eyes following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair with vitrectomy.

Purpose: To investigate music selection as a treatment for anxiety during intravitreal injections (IVI) for individuals of varying cultures.Methods: A randomized control study was performed to evaluate the effect of music in 3 different subject groups. 106 individuals were enrolled in the study. Individuals were randomized into one of three categor...

Reply to a Letter to the Editor submitted by Dr. Yngvil Solheim Husum et al in which they try to consolidate nomenclature for this rare enity.

PurposeThis study compared pain and anxiety levels in individuals receiving intravitreal injections (IVIs) using a speculum-free injection technique, the lid splinting eyelid retraction technique, or using a speculum.Methods This was a prospective study of individuals receiving IVI at a single tertiary care medical center who responded to a questio...

Background and purpose Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has accelerated vaccine development. The BNT162b2 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine is being administered worldwide. The purpose of this case series is to report a possible association between the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine and Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Although...

Idiopathic dural optic nerve sheath calcification (IDONSC) is a rare finding, with only a few cases reported in the literature. In this photo essay, an individual with IDONSC who underwent a thorough ophthalmic evaluation and a long follow-up period are presented, as well as the diagnostic dilemmas that current literature presents.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the most severe documented ocular injury caused by Ecballium elaterium, an invasive and toxic herb characterized by an explosive seed dispersal. Methods: A 55-year-old man presented to the emergency department several hours after direct exposure to the contents of E. elaterium to his left eye. Cli...

A 68-year-old male presented with a macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in the right eye that was treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Post-operative FAF following the right eye PPV revealed retinal displacement/low integrity retinal attachment (LIRA) with retinal vessel printings (RVPs) that are quite subtle. Uniquely, pre-RRD...

Progressive improvement in manufacturing, current effectiveness of cleaning solutions and the introduction of daily disposable contact lenses have resulted in a marked decrease of contact lens deposits. Deposits arise principally from the tear film and, to a lesser extent, from external sources. Several factors contribute to deposit formation and i...

A 62-year-old man with the Sturge–Weber syndrome was referred to the glaucoma clinic for evaluation of high intraocular pressure in his right eye. Focal dilatation and tortuosity of the conjunctival and episcleral vasculature were observed on physical examination.

Purpose: To investigate music selection as a treatment for anxiety during Intravitreal injections (IVI) for individuals of varying cultures. Methods: 106 individuals were enrolled in this randomized controlled study. Individuals were randomized into one to three categories: (1) a control group in which the IVI procedure was performed without music...

Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe the incidence and severity of ocular exposure to alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) in children presenting to a tertiary medical center during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic. Methods: A retrospective single-center observational study conducted from February 21, 2020...

Purpose: The aim of this report was to report 2 patients who presented with acute corneal graft rejection 2 weeks after receiving the BNT162b2 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Methods: Case report. Results: Two men, aged 73 and 56 years, with a history of penetrating keratoplasty due to keratoco...

Lens coloboma is a developmental defect resulting from abnormalities of the zonules and ciliary body. It may present as an isolated pathology or be accompanied by anomalies in different ocular structures. We report the case of a 20-year-old man referred for evaluation of anisometropic amblyopia in the right eye. Manifest refraction was -2.25 +3.00...

Purpose: To report a case of late-onset interface fluid syndrome (IFS) after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Methods: A 94-year-old man was referred for evaluation because of persistent corneal edema 10 days after Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) for pseudophakic bullous keratopathy. Results: After a...

A 101-year-old woman who underwent 4-flanged intrascleral fixation intraocular lens (ISF IOL) technique surgery in her left eye (elsewhere) 6 months prior to her presentation, was referred to our department due to pain and loss of vision for the previous 4 days. The patient presented with left eye visual acuity of hand motion, conjunctival hyperemi...

Aim: To describe a case of acute bilateral endothelial decompensation following prophylactic Nd:YAG laser iridotomy (LI) for occludable angles. Background: Although regarded safe, LI can occasionally be a source of various ocular complications, including corneal endothelial damage.
