Terrien’s Marginal Degeneration with Hydrops

We report a case of bilateral Terrien’s Marginal Degeneration with Hydrops. A 59 year old man presented with dimunition of vision in both eyes since 3 years. On examination both eyes had superior ectatic changes with right eye having scarred Descemet’s membrane indicating a healed hydrops and left eye showing superior corneal edema indicating resolving hydrops.

Use of Intravitreal Ganciclovir as Monotherapy for Bilateral CMV Retinitis in a Tertiary Government Hospital

In a tertiary government hospital where cost is an invariable concern, this report validates monotherapy of intravitreal ganciclovir as an effective option for patients due to affordability and ease of administration compared to systemic therapy. The case also exhibits the potential of intravitreal therapy to improve visual acuity in advance bilateral retinal disease

Cataract Surgery in Ocular Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid: A Risk, a Benefit or Both?

he aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of phacoemulsification and Intraocular Lens (IOL) implantation in OcMMP patients. Data from 15 eyes of 10 patients affected by OcMMP that underwent phaco+IOL have been evaluated. Each patient was examined a week before surgery and at day 1, day 3, day 7 and 30 days after surgery

Epidemio-Clinical, Therapeutic and Evolving Aspects of Tropical Endemic Limboconjunctivitis in Children in the Ophthalmology Department of the Bouake University Hospital Center

Tropical endemic limboconjunctivitis remains an endemic and recurrent disease in children in the tropics and inter-tropics. Its clinical diagnosis is easy but its medical care remains complex

Bilateral Orbital Extension of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Masquerading as Burkitt Lymphoma: A Case Report

We report the case of a three-year-old girl with left sided facial swelling and proptosis as the initial presentation of bilateral orbit involving Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in Cameroon. Despite being less typical in childhood, AML is the most common leukemia to cause orbital leukemic tumors. Solid extramedullary AML involves the orbit in 30% of cases and is bilateral in one third patients

Personalized Glaucoma Medication Compounding Reduces Intraocular Pressure and May Increase Adherence and Affordability

We report results from four glaucoma patients on multiple topical medications who refused or failed interventional surgery and opted for in-office medication compounding (n=4). Topical medications with preservatives were compounded into one 10ml-bottle under sterile conditions. Patients used one drop of the compounded solution twice daily. Patients demonstrated significantly reduced IOP and self-reported better compliance after 3 months of use

Scleral Contact Lenses for Treatment of Ocular Surface Disorders: A Narrative Review

Scleral lenses have been in the origin of contact lenses back in 1880, when the pioneers did the first glass contact lenses. With the advent of highly oxygen permeable materials and the increasing need for advanced solutions for severe ocular surface disorders has produced the driving pressures for a great amount of different contact lens designs to be available.

Sudden Bilateral Inflammatory and Neovascular Lesions in Multifocal Choroiditis

We report a 40-year-old Caucasian male presenting sudden bilateral Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) along with Chorioretinal Lesions (CRL). He presented previous ocular history of relapsing idiopathic bilateral anterior uveitis.

Cataract Surgery with a Trifocal Intraocular Lens - Patient Outcomes and Satisfaction Levels

The PanOptix® IOL used for cataract surgery showed high patient satisfaction and a high probability of spectacle independence for distance and near vision. The postoperative refractive outcomes demonstrated a low spheroequivalent and cylinder, primarily related to careful IOL measurements, advanced IOL formulas, and surgical technique.

The Effect of Chromium in the Management of Diabetic Macular Edema: An Interventional Comparative Case Series

Objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of chromium polynicotinate supplementation on the visual acuity and macular thickness of the diabetic macular edema in patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy through a prospective, interventional comparative case series study, was performed in 120 patients.
