Best Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy (BVMD) is a dominantly inherited retinal disease caused by dominant variants in the BEST1 gene. The original classification of BVMD is based on biomicroscopy and color fundus photography (CFP); however, advancements in retinal imaging provided unique structural, vascular, and functional data and novel insights on disease pathogenesis. Quantitative fundus autofluorescence studies informed us that lipofuscin accumulation, the hallmark of BVMD, is unlikely to be a primary effect of the genetic defect...

Purpose: To report sterile corneal necrosis as a severe and rare complication after Bowman Layer Transplantation (BTL). Methods: A 35-year-old woman with Down syndrome and advanced progressive keratoconus in her left eye was scheduled for a BLT. The patient rubbed her eyes and did not tolerate contact lenses. Following standard technique, a 8mm Bowman layer graft was placed into a intrastromal pocket with no intraoperative complications. Results: Postoperatively, the patient remained stable and topography showed notable central flattening but 17 days after the BTL was performed she developed a sterile corneal necrosis...

Rhea Narang, Priya Narang
PURPOSE: To describe Reverse four-throw (RFT) technique for pupilloplasty. METHODS: The technique involves making a single pass through the anterior chamber that helps achieve a posteriorly directed suture knot. A single arm 9-0 polypropylene suture attached to long arm needle engages the iris defects with the tip of the needle piercing the iris tissue from the posterior surface and emerging from the anterior aspect. The suture end is passed from the loop with four throws taken consecutively in the same direction that create a self-sealing and self-retaining lock like single-pass four-throw technique but with the difference that the knot slides on the posterior surface of the iris tissue...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Ali Nouraeinejad
The management of acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is controversial, and no clear guidelines exist to guide its treatment options. Therefore, the author proposes his idea that treatment options for AACE should be prioritized to achieve optimal outcomes with fewer potential complications for this type of esotropia. In this manner, treatment should be started with less invasive, muscle-sparing procedures while the patient is regularly checked for improvement in esotropia and diplopia. This is also a good scheme because the patient can go through vital neurological and ophthalmological assessments while he/she is spared from invasive interventions in the beginning...

BACKGROUND: Currently there is no universally agreed schema for predicting ocular morbidity in facial nerve palsy. The House Brackmann Scale has limitations in assessing ocular morbidity from facial nerve palsy. Our aim was to create a scoring system to help quantify ocular morbidity to aid in decision making regarding the need for corneal protective oculoplastic surgery. METHODS: We conducted a large cohort study observing 606 patients attending the specialist facial palsy clinic in Manchester UK between March 2002 and October 2017...

Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy characterized by death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which leads to progressive visual field loss and may result in blindness. Currently, the only available treatment to avoid or delay progression in glaucoma patients is to decrease intraocular pressure (IOP). However, despite adequate IOP control, approximately 25% of the patients continue to progress. To delay or prevent optic nerve damage in glaucoma, two forms of vitamin B3, nicotinamide (NAM) and nicotinamide riboside (NR) are emerging as viable adjuvant therapies...
